CIVILIAN COURT-MARTIAL DEFENSE LAWYER: RETIREMENT ELIGIBLE SENIOR FIELD GRADE MILITARY OFFICER REPRESENTED BY ATTORNEY RICHARD V. STEVENS HAS DISCIPLINARY ACTION SET ASIDE AND RECORD CLEARED

Military Defense Lawyer (Former JAG Attorney) News:

Recently, a retirement eligible senior field grade military officer defended by attorney Richard V. Stevens (Military Defense Law Offices of Richard V. Stevens, P.C.) had the disciplinary action he received set aside and his record was cleared for retirement.

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 senior military officer client was investigated for alleged wrongdoing and received an administrative disciplinary action despite his rebuttal.  We appealed that disciplinary action and the appeal was granted, setting aside the disciplinary action, removing it from his records, and clearing his way to retirement.

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.
