Military
Defense Lawyer (Former JAG Attorney) News:
Recently, a field
grade military officer defended by attorney Richard V. Stevens (Military
Defense Law Offices of Richard V. Stevens, P.C.) had their disciplinary action downgraded
and military career preserved.
Because this was an
administrative disciplinary case, there are Privacy Act issues and regulations
that preclude the reporting of specific details. However, what can be generally described is…
The military officer client
was investigated and received an administrative disciplinary action that would
have, ultimately, ended the client’s military career due to the adverse
performance report and failure to promote to a higher rank that would have
occurred after the disciplinary action was finalized. Through the course of the processing of this disciplinary
action, the defense submitted multiple rebuttals. Ultimately, the administrative disciplinary
action was downgraded to such an extent that it should not impact future
performance report, promotion, or career.
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.

necessary, the attorneys travel to wherever the client is stationed around the
world.
