CIVILIAN COURT-MARTIAL DEFENSE LAWYER: NON-COMMISSIONED OFFICER (NCO) REPRESENTED BY ATTORNEY RICHARD V. STEVENS AVOIDS DISCIPLINARY ACTION

Military Defense Lawyer (Former JAG Attorney) News:

Recently, a non-commissioned officer (NCO) defended by attorney Richard V. Stevens (Military Defense Law Offices of Richard V. Stevens, P.C.) avoided disciplinary action after a command misconduct investigation.  

The NCO client was accused of misconduct and faced a command investigation when he retained attorney Richard V. Stevens.  As the investigation proceeded, attorney Stevens made a submission on the client's behalf that was critical of key aspects of the investigation as well as the manner in which the investigation was being conducted. 

After consideration of that defense submission, the client's command decided not to serve any formal disciplinary action on the client.  While this military case was successfully defended, it is important to understand that every case has different facts, and success in previous cases 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 trial or case.
