THE TRUSTED, WELCOMING, ETHICAL LAW FIRM YOU NEED

Outside support for military law issues

If you’re a military service member from Kentucky who has been notified that you are facing a court-martial or separation, it’s understandable that you might be feeling anxious, or even afraid. The outcome may have a significant impact on your military career and personal future. Perhaps you have a spouse and children at home and are worried about how your current circumstances will disrupt their lives or cause stress in your household. While military law guarantees an appointment of a military legal advocate, you are free to seek outside support, if you choose.

Effective legal representation may be key to a successful outcome

When you seek support from a civilian attorney who has experience in military law, you’re able to discuss the details of your case and seek answers to any questions you might have. It’s important that you understand certain issues before heading to court, such as the difference between a summary court-martial and a general court-martial. An experienced attorney can recommend a best course of action in a particular set of circumstances, including what type of strategy may be your best defense.

Know your rights and how to defend them

No two military law cases are exactly the same. In fact, you and fellow service members may be brought to court-martial in connection with the same incident; yet, his or her outcome may be entirely different from yours. The more you understand what to expect during a court-martial and what rights you have as a member of the U.S. military, the more proactive you can be to protect your rights in court.

If you’re in need of guidance to prepare for a court-martial

Many military service members prefer seeking legal support outside the military because it enables them to retain a certain amount of control of their situations. By requesting a free consultation, you can discuss your case in a private setting and seek answers to questions, such as whether you can file an appeal following a guilty verdict or whether you can be separated from the military even if you’re not found guilty.
