Military Defense Lawyer (Former JAG Attorney)
News:
Recently, a military officer represented by attorney Richard V. Stevens (Military Defense Law Offices of Richard V. Stevens, P.C.) overcame military allegations of professional misconduct and dereliction, and found a new beginning in his civilian professional career.
Because this was an administrative case, there are Privacy Act and service branch regulations regarding case information, so specific details will be withheld. That said, the officer client served in the military in a career field that also required a professional license. The officer was accused of misconduct and dereliction in the military, and the military attempted to prevent the officer from performing duties under his professional license. This was a particularly important issue because the officer was about to separate from the military, and his professional license was crucial to working in that field when he left the military.
In response to these administrative military adverse actions, we submitted several responses and appeals. These submissions dealt with the fair application of professional standards as well as fairness in the process. In response to our submissions, the adverse actions were put on hold and ultimately the officer separated honorably from the military. In the civilian world, the former officer successfully retained his professional license and obtained work in that field.
If the military adverse actions he faced had been maintained, the officer could have lost his professional license and would have had to start his career path all over again after separating from the military and despite years of schooling to obtain the professional license.
While the representation in this military case was successful, 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.
