You sacrificed a lot for this country. Time with your family. Time having fun. You took on the mental and emotional weight that being a member of the military requires of you. If you are reading this page, odds are that’s because you have been accused of a crime by the military you dedicated your life to. If that is the situation you find yourself in, it can be scary and quite serious. Here are the steps you should take.
First things first. Don’t talk to anyone. Don’t say anything. Once you have invoked your right to counsel, don’t say anything more. This can be hard because some of these people are your buddies. You just want to vent or get people to see where you are coming from and your side of things. These are people you looked up to. It doesn’t matter. If it is not to your lawyer, do not say anything at all.
Next order of business is to talk to Trial Defense Services. They will assign you a Military Defense Attorney for your case. Make sure to ask this attorney questions. Ask them where they graduated from and what year. Ask them how long they have been practicing in the military law field. Ask them how many cases they have won. Do not be nervous to ask questions. This is your life on the line and they work for you.
If after asking your defense attorney these types of questions you feel confident going forward with them, good. If you feel the opposite, call us. We are tried and true trial lawyers. We go to court and win. We know what is at stake for you and we will fight for your future. You don’t have to worry about us going anywhere. We will see your trial through and help you come out victorious and justified on the other side.
