Military Defense Lawyer (Former JAG Attorney) News:
Recently, a senior military officer defended by attorney Richard V. Stevens (Military Defense Law Offices of Richard V. Stevens, P.C.) avoided disciplinary action and removal from position after a military investigation.
The senior officer client was accused of professional misconduct
and derelictions of duty in how he performed his duty position. These allegations arose out of a disagreement
within the duty section among senior staff.
A formal investigation was conducted, and a report was issued. We submitted a lengthy rebuttal to the
investigative report, and the mixed conclusions in the report. There was a recommendation that the senior
officer be removed from his position.
After consideration of our rebuttal, the command did not
discipline the senior officer client, nor was he removed from his duty position
– despite the recommendation. He can now
finish out his tour of duty, and proceed forward with his military 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.
