Military Defense Lawyer (Former JAG Attorney) News:
Recently, we were asked to provide examples of some of our military cases in which we have successfully defended against military larceny, fraud, and/or wrongful appropriation allegations.
Our blog has many posts about such allegations and cases in the military justice system, and we have defended many of these cases over the decades of our military legal defense practice. While we won’t go back and re-post every blog post on this topic, we did feel it could be helpful to compile some posts about this topic in order to make the point that although the military justice system can seem to be very focused on prosecuting military members, these cases are not hopeless. With strong attorneys to advocate your case, and a solid defense strategy born from decades of military court-martial defense experience, successful case outcomes can be achieved.
Below, please find some descriptions of military larceny, fraud, and/or wrongful appropriation cases that civilian court-martial defense attorney Richard V. Stevens has successfully defended. For us, these successes represent military members and their families who were saved from the devastation of a military (federal) conviction and possible prison sentence, loss of military career and benefits, and loss of military retirement (if eligible).

While these serious military court-martial cases were 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.
In addition to the larceny allegations in these cases, Attorney Richard V. Stevens has defended many, many other allegations of rape and sexual assault and physical assault within the military justice system over the course of decades. He has been practicing military law since 1995.
