We can never forget the risks and sacrifices made by our military members, and we can never do enough to help them deal with the issues they are faced with.

Blog postscript: I
(attorney Richard V. Stevens) am a former active duty military lawyer (JAG). My
perspectives and advice, therefore, are based upon my 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 should be substituted
for legal advice in any particular case. If you seek legal advice for a
particular case, please contact The Law Offices of Richard V. Stevens for a
free consultation. These military defense law offices are located in the
Northern Florida/Georgia areas, but the military defense representation is
worldwide – when necessary, the attorneys travel to wherever the client is
stationed around the world.
