Civilian Court-Martial Lawyers: Military Officer Represented by Attorney Richard V. Stevens Retains Professional Qualification After Board Presentation

Military Defense Lawyer (Former JAG Attorney) News:

Recently, a military officer who was facing revocation of his professional qualification was retained after submission of his administrative board presentation.  The client was represented and defended by military law attorney Richard V. Stevens (Military Defense Law Offices of Richard V. Stevens, P.C.).

The officer client was accused of various alleged wrongs and violations by a commander who disagreed with how the officer performed his professional military duties.  After the defense rebuttal to the command investigation and submission to the administrative board, the officer client prevailed and will continue in his assignment without limitation or adverse action. 

Due to the nature of adverse administrative actions in the military, no further details about this case can be released.  While the defense was successful in this case, it is important to understand that every case has different facts, and success in some previous case(s) does not guarantee success in any particular future case.  No military lawyer or civilian defense lawyer, including those who specialize in military law, can guarantee the outcome of any military case.

Thank you.
