A: Yes. We have worked on numerous senior enlisted and senior officer cases. We have represented military members with ranks ranging from E-1 through 0-7.

Q: Do you have experience dealing with media coverage of cases?

A: Yes. Because we often handle cases involving the most serious accusations, including murder, sexual offenses, combat related offenses ("war crimes") and senior officer cases, many of these cases have been covered by local, regional and national media. It is crucial not just to react to the media interest, but to have a thorough and strategic media plan. If course, we don't seek media attention for our cases and will honor our clients' wishes in this regard.

Q: Do you have experience handling complex trials involving numerous witnesses and experts?

A: Yes. We have handled countless cases, both military and civilian, that involved numerous different witnesses, issues and experts. For example, we have had potential witness lists that identify 100 or more possible witnesses. We have also defended cases in which many different experts were involved in the same case. Some of these trials have lasted for weeks at a time. Cases such as these require experience in large-scale trial strategy, effective use of experts and complete knowledge of all issues, evidence and information available in the case.

Q: With your busy trial schedule, do you still represent military members facing administrative actions?

A: Yes. As long as our trial schedules will permit, we will handle administrative actions to include discharges, various board hearings, security clearance issues, MEB/PEB, FEB, AIB, medical de-credentialing boards, promotion denial or performance report appeals, corrections of military records (BCMR) and even military investigations (command or IG) and low-level military punishments.
