Military Trial Defenders is a military defense law firm representing active-duty, reserve, and National Guard service members facing allegations and adverse actions under the Uniform Code of Military Justice. The firm handles court-martial defense, sexual assault and harassment allegations, drug offenses, assault, fraternization, child exploitation accusations, Article 134 matters, and other serious military criminal cases. Its representation extends from investigations and charging decisions through trial, with a focus on protecting careers, freedom, and military status.
Military Trial Defenders also represents service members in nonjudicial punishment proceedings, including Article 15 actions, as well as administrative separation and discharge boards. The firm assists with security clearance suspensions and revocations, military academy cadet honor and disenrollment hearings, Boards for Correction of Military Records, and senior officer actions involving Inspector General or Equal Employment Opportunity investigations. Its attorneys use a team-based approach designed to address both immediate legal exposure and the broader professional consequences of military proceedings.
Military Trial Defenders brings more than 40 years of combined experience litigating military cases and represents personnel across all branches of the US military. The firm handles general, special, and summary courts-martial and defends allegations involving offenses such as sexual assault, murder, drug misconduct, war crimes, fraud, and theft. Its lawyers also challenge evidence, investigate witness accounts, examine testing procedures, and develop defenses tailored to the facts, procedural history, and command environment surrounding each case.
Military Trial Defenders provides military trial defense services worldwide and maintains offices in multiple US locations, including Colorado Springs, Norfolk, Tacoma, El Paso, Las Vegas, San Antonio, and Washington, DC. The firm offers flat-fee arrangements for representation and emphasizes confidential communication, responsive service, and thorough case preparation. Representation is limited to active-duty, reserve, and Guard personnel rather than veterans' matters, discharge-upgrade requests, or family law. The firm emphasizes strategic preparation across each stage of representation. Its practice is structured around focused military defense for service members confronting criminal, administrative, and career-related proceedings.
