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 the drug case he faced
dropped by the military after charges were referred to trial by general court-martial
(UCMJ Article 112a).
The military client
was accused of distributing illegal recreational drugs, and related
misconduct. Court-martial charges were
preferred against the client and proceeded through the referral process, and
the case was scheduled for trial. The
defense served notice of motions, addressing several significant legal
issues. The defense also submitted an
offer for an administrative resolution instead of proceeding to a criminal
trial. Ultimately, the defense offer was
approved and the court-martial case was dropped in favor of an administrative
disposition.
While this military
court-martial 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.
For more information

illegal drugs in violation of UCMJ Article 112a, see:

experience as military defense lawyer and as a civilian criminal defense lawyer
practicing exclusively in the area of military law and military justice. This
blog addresses issues in military law, military justice, military discipline,
military defense, court-martial practice, the Uniform Code of Military Justice
(UCMJ) and other military and/or legal topics. Nothing posted in this blog

located in the Washington DC, Northern Virginia, Maryland, National Capital
Region (NCR), but the military defense representation is worldwide – when
necessary, the attorneys travel to wherever the client is stationed around the
world.
