What Is A Court-Martial And How Does It Differ From A Civilian Criminal Trial?
Courts-martial are court proceedings for Servicemembers. They are used to try service members charged with violating the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ). Unlike civilian criminal cases, military law governs courts-martial. Additionally, the judges overseeing these cases are Lieutenant Colonels or Colonels in the JAG Corps. Rules of evidence and court procedures can also differ significantly from those in civilian courts.
How Can A Court-Martial Impact My Military Career And Future Employment Opportunities?
A court-martial conviction can have serious consequences for your military career. Those consequences could include:
- A dishonorable discharge.
- Loss of military benefits, including your pension.
- A permanent mark on your military record.
- Federal conviction
A court-martial conviction can also affect future employment opportunities requiring military experience and security clearance. We understand what’s at stake for you. We are committed to protecting your career and reputation in the United States Military.
A Conviction Can Affect Not Only Your Career But The Rest Of Your Life
Prosecution under the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ) is a very serious matter. A conviction would not only affect your career but your entire future. A court-martial conviction is a criminal conviction and gives you a permanent criminal record.
In advocating for you, we know that the key to success in any trial is hard work and case preparation. Often this process begins before charges are preferred. Witnesses are identified, documents obtained and rights protected. At other times, it is possible for a court-martial to be avoided. Decisions made earlier in an investigation can prove critical. A civilian lawyer can work with your military lawyer to ensure the best defense possible.
Our lawyers have successfully represented thousands of clients in legal matters of misconduct, court-martial and other criminal defense cases. Our first goal is to fight for you, working passionately to bring your life back to normal in all categories of summary, special and general courts-martial defense cases related to:
- Military offenses
- War crimes
- Fraud and larceny
- Assault and violent crime
- Sexual assault crimes
- Drug crime
In the military, a court-martial is as serious as it gets, with serious ramifications on your life in civilian society. Obtain equally serious military defense representation by discussing your case with The Military Justice Center. We know the military justice system inside out. Our reputation for results is proof that we know how to protect your rights, freedom and future.
Should You Hire A Civilian Or Military Attorney For A Court-Martial?
While a civilian defense attorney can represent you in a court-martial, an attorney with military law experience can offer you:
- A thorough understanding of military law and court proceedings.
- Experience in navigating interactions with military judges and prosecutors.
- Assistance in making intelligent and strategic decisions throughout your case.
Since both of our attorneys served in the military, they bring invaluable insights and experience to your defense. Call our firm at 910-965-5484 to start on your court-martial defense strategy today.
