Court Martials

When you’re facing a court martial your future and your career are on the line. A court-martial within the military justice system addresses serious offenses committed. During the trial, violations of the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ) are addressed, some of which include drug offenses, sexual assault, assault, and rape.


If you’re facing a court martial you need an attorney that’s on your side. Our military lawyer in Maryland and DC have the experience and temperament to approach these proceedings head-on and defend your career and reputation. 

  • Drug Offenses

    Drug offenses are a big deal in the military. A single failed drug test can mean the end of your career, even if there were issues with the testing process. If you’re facing drug charges in the military you need an attorney.


    We stand ready to help handle cases such as: 

    • Drug possession
    • Drug abuse
    • Drug distribution 
  • Sexual Assault & Assault

    The climate concerning sexual offenses in the military is rapidly shifting, and many of the protections soldiers and other service members have relied on to refute their charges are beginning to disappear. Our military lawyers in Maryland have closely monitored these reforms and know how to navigate this changing landscape.

  • Rape

    We recognize the sensitive nature of rape cases and the stigma attached to the accused, whether they are ultimately found innocent or guilty. It is our firm belief that everyone deserves effective and competent legal representation, especially in cases where the stakes are so high.

  • Other Breaches of Military Law

    We also handle other kinds of breaches of military law, including:


    No matter what offense you’re charged with, we’re prepared to work directly with you to develop a defense strategy that addresses the key points of the prosecution's case, providing you with the best possible chance of maintaining your freedom.

Administrative Separation Boards

Administrative separation boards are about more than keeping you in the military. Your final discharge can affect your VA and education benefits, reputation, and even your retirement. Whether you’re fighting to stay in or to get the best discharge possible, we’re on your side.


We know what it takes to achieve the best possible outcome at the end of your administrative separation boards. We know how to find various errors or discrepancies in the case against you for charges such as:


  • Pattern of misconduct
  • Conviction of civilian offenses
  • Negative evaluations
