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 Washington DC, Northern Virginia,
Maryland, National Capital Region (NCR), but the military defense
representation is worldwide – when necessary, the attorneys travel to wherever
the client is stationed around the world.</span></b></p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p></o:p></p><br /></div><p></p>Attorney Richard Stevenshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08128537325703045169noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35189370.post-76441670322286898082024-01-07T13:05:00.000-05:002024-01-07T13:05:05.386-05:00Civilian Court-Martial Defense Lawyer: End of Year Wrap-Up and Welcome to 2024<p> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhwsQqNxT0m2VS3YAeihvqIbmvmQFv2lDcaOO7BWwiR97YsDuiwi4JNe7x2zvlpg3CzAaWxOy7qnYLuNKfuW4nC3jfTxJQEAidrmOJIxdMQqPoYuThPsPN9VfglUmwohd4hfYQqHi9rthzd7gubQZmvGd7GhXUemerCgw-0pEvSyBanN7CTR3yoKA/s4752/AdobeStock_653622697.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3168" data-original-width="4752" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhwsQqNxT0m2VS3YAeihvqIbmvmQFv2lDcaOO7BWwiR97YsDuiwi4JNe7x2zvlpg3CzAaWxOy7qnYLuNKfuW4nC3jfTxJQEAidrmOJIxdMQqPoYuThPsPN9VfglUmwohd4hfYQqHi9rthzd7gubQZmvGd7GhXUemerCgw-0pEvSyBanN7CTR3yoKA/s320/AdobeStock_653622697.jpeg" width="320" /></a></div><p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="background: #113355; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><b><u><span style="background: #073763; color: #cccccc; font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 13.5pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-font-kerning: 0pt; mso-ligatures: none;">Military Defense Lawyer (Former JAG Attorney) News:</span></u></b><span style="color: #cccccc; font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; font-size: 13.5pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-font-kerning: 0pt; mso-ligatures: none;"><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="background: #113355; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><b><span style="background: #073763; color: #cccccc; font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 13.5pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-font-kerning: 0pt; mso-ligatures: none;">Another year has come to an end and it was another

trials and other military cases described in our blog posts were successfully
defended against, it is important to understand that every case has different
facts, evidence, and participants, and success in previous military
courts-martial and military cases does not guarantee success in any particular
future court-martial or military case. No military lawyer or civilian
defense lawyer, including those who specialize in military law, can guarantee
the outcome of any military case or military trial. </span></b></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="background: #113355; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><b><span style="background: #073763; color: #cccccc; font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 13.5pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-font-kerning: 0pt; mso-ligatures: none;">This past year, I defended, represented, advised, counseled or otherwise

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

defense law offices are located in the Washington DC, Northern Virginia,
Maryland, National Capital Region (NCR), but the military defense
representation is worldwide – when necessary, the attorneys travel to wherever
the client is stationed around the world.</span></b></p>Attorney Richard Stevenshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08128537325703045169noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35189370.post-89656029815326496392023-12-08T09:43:00.002-05:002023-12-08T09:46:31.072-05:00<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiAp4pfeZmvwIgabv3cMIYpj-aAYXVyCAHpdJ2ygQng2tAclARScTGj26q66uOISKyQAAkk_GqlixHCDhVtKoSaNFw4KH8zGRbFkM8v2esuMZe4L7_XrWS36W673_oOEeQWvMkDdwTCXozjtoXN5Wv8oy_L7RTZP14Y-nAROWJdHEzVjyDhWfpCMw/s473/download.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="378" data-original-width="473" height="256" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiAp4pfeZmvwIgabv3cMIYpj-aAYXVyCAHpdJ2ygQng2tAclARScTGj26q66uOISKyQAAkk_GqlixHCDhVtKoSaNFw4KH8zGRbFkM8v2esuMZe4L7_XrWS36W673_oOEeQWvMkDdwTCXozjtoXN5Wv8oy_L7RTZP14Y-nAROWJdHEzVjyDhWfpCMw/s320/download.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><span face=""Segoe UI Historic", "Segoe UI", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif" style="background-color: white; color: #050505; font-size: 18.75px; white-space-collapse: preserve;"><b>The Army reminds us that, at its core, the DoD goal is not a fair military justice system that counters the toxic political pressure and false narratives pushed by politicians, advocacy groups, military leaders, and the media.

News:</span></u></b></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="background: #113355; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><b><span style="color: #cccccc; font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Recently,
a field grade, military officer defended by attorney Richard V. Stevens
(Military Defense Law Offices of Richard V. Stevens, P.C.) was retained in a
litigated Board of Inquiry (BOI) hearing.
Because this case was administrative, we can only provide limited
general information. </span></b></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="background: #113355; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><b><span style="color: #cccccc; font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Our field
grade officer client had established a spotless professional reputation and was
slated for future command. But, he was served
with notice to show cause for retention in the military based on the alleged sexual
assault of a strange and troubled civilian.
A BOI in the military is a litigated board hearing for an officer that
addresses involuntary administrative discharge.
In other words, it is a board hearing in which the board members
determine if the officer will be kicked out of the military. Depending on the service branch, a hearing
like this is called BOI, show cause, adsep, and/or officer elimination. If the officer is kicked out involuntarily at
the board hearing, he will not receive his retirement and retired benefits. In addition, in a case like this, the likely discharge
characterization would have been Under Other Than Honorable Conditions. So,
the stakes are very high for the client. </span></b></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="background: #113355; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><b><span style="color: #cccccc; font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">A BOI
hearing is a litigated administrative hearing that is similar in procedure to a
trial, with fewer evidentiary rules. The
burden of proof is preponderance of the evidence. These hearings include voir dire and
challenges of the members, opening statements, presentation of evidence,
questioning of witnesses, closing arguments, and the retention decision by the
board members. </span></b></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="background: #113355; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><b><span style="color: #cccccc; font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">In this
case, after presentation of both sides’ cases, including evidence that the
complainant’s story made no sense and she had motives to fabricate, the board
members concluded that the client did not commit the alleged misconduct –
despite the government’s very low burden of proof. The officer was, therefore, retained in the
military service. </span></b></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="background: #113355; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><b><span style="color: #cccccc; font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">While this

another military officer and pilot defended by attorney Richard V. Stevens
(Military Defense Law Offices of Richard V. Stevens, P.C.) prevailed in a
litigated Flying Evaluation Board (F.E.B.) hearing. </span></b></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="background: #113355; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><b><span style="color: #cccccc; font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-font-kerning: 0pt; mso-ligatures: none;">An
F.E.B. hearing is a formal military administrative hearing before fellow pilots
in which the Board makes recommendations about whether the accused pilot should
remain in aviation service, in what aircraft, and whether that pilot can
continue to wear his/her wings. Based on
that recommendation, the pilot could continue his military flying career, or he/she
could face the loss of his/her flying career, his/her military career, and be
involuntarily administratively discharged.</span></b></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="background: #113355; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><b><span style="color: #cccccc; font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-font-kerning: 0pt; mso-ligatures: none;">In
this F.E.B. case, the defense called multiple witnesses and presented
considerable evidence not only in support of the pilot, but addressing the
unique circumstances of his situation. After
closing arguments, the F.E.B. members delivered a unanimous recommendation in
favor of the pilot continuing in military aviation service. Because
an F.E.B. is a closed administrative hearing, specific details cannot be
provided. </span></b></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="background: #113355; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><b><span style="color: #cccccc; font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-font-kerning: 0pt; mso-ligatures: none;">An
F.E.B. is one of the unique military aviation boards that attorney Richard V. Stevens
has extensive experience with. This includes
Flying Evaluation Boards (F.E.B.), Field Naval Aviator Evaluation Boards
(F.N.A.E.B.), Safety Investigation Boards (S.I.B.), Accident Investigation
Boards (A.I.B.), and Command Directed Investigations (C.D.I. or AR 15-6). </span></b></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="background: #113355; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><b><span style="color: #cccccc; font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-font-kerning: 0pt; mso-ligatures: none;">While
this military aviation case, and the military pilot, were successfully

a senior, field grade, military officer defended by attorney Richard V. Stevens
(Military Defense Law Offices of Richard V. Stevens, P.C.) was retained in a
litigated Board of Inquiry (BOI) hearing.
Because this case was administrative, we can only provide limited
general information. </span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="background: #113355; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><b><span style="color: #cccccc; font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Our senior
officer client was months away from applying for retirement, but was served
with notice to show cause for retention in the military based on alleged
substandard performance and not being fit for duty. A BOI in the military is a litigated board
hearing for an officer that addresses involuntary administrative
discharge. In other words, it is a board
hearing in which the board members determine if the officer will be kicked out
of the military. Depending on the
service branch, a hearing like this is called BOI, show cause, adsep, and/or officer
elimination. If the officer is kicked
out involuntarily at the board hearing, he will not receive his retirement and
retired benefits. So, the stakes are
very high for the client. </span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="background: #113355; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><b><span style="color: #cccccc; font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">A BOI
hearing is a litigated administrative hearing that is similar in procedure to a
trial, with fewer evidentiary rules. The
burden of proof is preponderance of the evidence. These hearings include voir dire and
challenges of the members, opening statements, presentation of evidence,

case, after presentation of both sides’ cases, the board members concluded that
the officer should be retained in the military service, which will allow him to
retire. While this administrative board hearing 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. </span></b></p>

senior officer was convicted of did not occur as she had testified that it did. A post-trial motion hearing was then held in which
the complainant’s testimony was again taken and, based on the findings from that
hearing, the conviction was set aside, thereby clearing the senior officer’s
record. </span></b></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="background: #113355; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><b><span style="color: #cccccc; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 107%;">While it was a

<p class="MsoNormal" style="background: #113355; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><b><span style="color: #cccccc; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 107%;">Recently, in five
different cases in 2023, military members defended by attorney Richard V.
Stevens (Military Defense Law Offices of Richard V. Stevens, P.C.) achieved successful
outcomes in the military sexual assault cases they faced. Those five cases are described below. </span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="background: #113355;"><b><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 107%;"><u><span style="color: #ffa400;">Military Noncommissioned
Officer (NCO) Faced Sexual Assault Court-Martial.</span></u></span></b></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="background: #113355;"><b><span style="color: #cccccc; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 107%;">In this military
sexual assault case, an NCO client faced a court-martial trial in which he was
accused of sexual assault and sexual harassment by a fellow military NCO who
had motives to lie to shield herself from the consequences of her own behavior
with him. The case included two motion
hearings, and a trial that lasted throughout the work week. During the trial, the complainant’s motives
to lie, inconsistent story, and character for untruthfulness were exposed,
particularly through her cross-examination on the witness stand. After very brief deliberation, the court
members (military “jury”) returned a verdict of not guilty of all charges and
specifications the client faced (full acquittal). Shortly thereafter, the military NCO client
was returned to the status he previously held, and retired honorably from the
military. </span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="background: #113355;"><b><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 107%;"><u><span style="color: #ffa400;">Military
Junior Enlisted Member Faced Sexual Assault Court-Martial.</span></u></span></b></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="background: #113355;"><b><span style="color: #cccccc; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 107%;">In this military
sexual assault case, the junior enlisted client was accused of sexual assault
by a fellow military member who he was at a holiday party with. The complainant claimed she drank too much,
could not have consented, and did not consent.
However, the complainant had multiple motives to lie and several different
inconsistent versions of her story. Her
inconsistent stories were revealed during the Article 32 preliminary hearing,
and the issues with her story, her background, and the case were detailed in
multiple pretrial motions. Ultimately,
right before the motion hearing, the complainant supported an administrative
outcome for the case, so she didn’t have to face exposure during the general
court-martial trial. That administrative
outcome was approved, and the court-martial case against the accused was
dropped. </span></b></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="background: #113355;"><b><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 107%;"><u><span style="color: #ffa400;">Military
Officer Faced Sexual Assault Administrative Discharge Board Hearing.</span></u></span></b></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="background: #113355;"><b><span style="color: #cccccc; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 107%;">In this military
sexual assault case, an officer client faced sexual allegations made by a
fellow military officer after drinking during a TDY. The complainant claimed she was too drunk to
consent, and did not consent. However,
it was very clear that she had motives to make false allegations to shield
herself from the consequences of her own behavior with the accused, and she
voiced these motives when she initially told her story. The complainant also had multiple
inconsistent versions of her story. Shortly
after making her allegations to military investigators, the complainant elected
not to go forward with the case, but the military still proceeded with an involuntary
administrative discharge board hearing (Board of Inquiry [BOI], Show
Cause). In the hearing, which is similar
to a trial, the defense exposed these issues with the complainant’s credibility
and motives. Despite the low burden of
proof for the government (preponderance of the evidence), the board members
found that the client did not commit the alleged sexual assault, and they
retained him in the military. </span></b></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="background: #113355;"><b><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 107%;"><u><span style="color: #ffa400;">Military
Officer Faced Sexual Assault Investigation.</span></u></span></b></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="background: #113355;"><b><span style="color: #cccccc; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 107%;">In this military
sexual assault case, a military officer client faced a sexual assault
investigation that was initiated by a subordinate who was angry with the
client, and seeking to derail the client’s career with false allegations. During the course of the investigation, the
defense was in close, repeated contact with military investigators, including
providing them with the identity of witnesses and evidence. Ultimately, the defense was able to present
alibi evidence that showed it was impossible for the accused military officer
to have committed the alleged offense, because he was not event present at that
location or event when the offense allegedly occurred. The sexual assault case against the accused
military officer was dropped, and the complainant faced discipline for his own
behavior. </span></b></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="background: #113355;"><b><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 107%;"><u><span style="color: #ffa400;">Military
NCO Faced Sexual Assault Investigation.</span></u></span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="background: #113355;"><b><span style="color: #cccccc; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 107%;">In this final of
the five recent military sexual assault cases, an NCO client faced a sexual
assault investigation initiated by a family member who was angry at him.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The complainant was shown to be a disturbed
individual with past false allegations and recantations with law
enforcement.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Ultimately, the case
against the NCO client was dropped, and his military record was cleared.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></b></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="background: #113355;"><b><span style="color: #cccccc; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 107%;">Had there been sex crime convictions in any of these military cases, the clients
could have been sentenced to a punitive discharge, a lengthy term of
confinement in prison (possibly decades) and, in addition, they would have been
required to register as a sex offender. Military careers and retirements
would be lost, and future employment, education, and social opportunities would
be destroyed. Thankfully, the truth was
exposed in these cases and the clients were spared this risk of devastation to their
futures. </span></b></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="background: #113355;"><b><span style="color: #cccccc; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 107%;">While these five military court-martial and sexual assault 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. </span></b></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="background: #113355;"><b><span style="color: #cccccc; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 107%;">For more information about the military justice system,

while the military court-martial trials and other military cases described in
our blog posts were successfully defended against, it is important to
understand that every case has different facts, evidence, and participants, and
success in previous military courts-martial and military cases does not
guarantee success in any particular future court-martial or military
case. No military lawyer or civilian defense lawyer, including those who
specialize in military law, can guarantee the outcome of any military case or

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 Washington DC, Northern Virginia, Maryland,
National Capital Region (NCR), but the military defense representation is
worldwide – when necessary, the attorneys travel to wherever the client is
stationed around the world.</span></span></b></p>Attorney Richard Stevenshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08128537325703045169noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35189370.post-88259722596933246982023-01-01T09:49:00.002-05:002023-01-01T09:49:44.797-05:00CIVILIAN COURT-MARTIAL DEFENSE LAWYER: Worldwide Military Defense Representation and Services - United States (CONUS) Locations and Overseas (OCONUS) Locations<p> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj258CGFo7xigAib1og5r43C_1fuTghrJ9K4oQYg-PVEFelH_JAe_LrGex8zEFSnl1qTPDk1nl3qrCd1jsNcTSu16raLh5xfX14d8eZOU_vBEHHikxjY7kQskytUTo0GpLj24yYQ-rJ2pjvF3vg9d4pz8GSPXl8VXXczR56_ccvilWZHQ3C3gI/s4200/iStock_Globe_Full.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2800" data-original-width="4200" height="266" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj258CGFo7xigAib1og5r43C_1fuTghrJ9K4oQYg-PVEFelH_JAe_LrGex8zEFSnl1qTPDk1nl3qrCd1jsNcTSu16raLh5xfX14d8eZOU_vBEHHikxjY7kQskytUTo0GpLj24yYQ-rJ2pjvF3vg9d4pz8GSPXl8VXXczR56_ccvilWZHQ3C3gI/w400-h266/iStock_Globe_Full.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><p class="MsoNormal" style="background: #113355; line-height: 15.6pt; margin-bottom: 0in;"><b><u><span style="color: #cccccc; font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Military Defense Lawyer (Former JAG Attorney)

by attorney Richard V. Stevens (Military Defense Law Offices of Richard V.
Stevens, P.C.) had the alleged sexual assault case he faced dropped by the
military before the court-martial trial began (UCMJ Article 120).</span></b></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="background: rgb(17, 51, 85); line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><b><span face="Arial, sans-serif" style="color: #cccccc;">The military NCO client was accused of sexually
assaulting a military acquaintance after a night of drinking. The case was investigated by military law
enforcement, and charges were preferred against the client and referred to
trial by court-martial. In fact, the
trial was set to begin just a few weeks before the case was resolved. </span></b></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="background: rgb(17, 51, 85); line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><b><span face="Arial, sans-serif" style="color: #cccccc;">The government requested an experienced former
military prosecutor to serve as the Article 32 Preliminary Hearing Officer (PHO)
for the case. The PHO recommended that
the government drop the case, but the government rejected that recommendation
and proceeded toward trial. The defense
filed multiple motions in the case, highlighting the complainant’s
counterintuitive behavior, her credibility issues, and her clear motives to fabricate
the allegations to attempt to shield herself from the personal and military career
consequences of her misbehavior on the night at issue. </span></b></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="background: rgb(17, 51, 85); line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><b><span face="Arial, sans-serif" style="color: #cccccc;">Ultimately, just prior the beginning of the
pretrial motion hearing, the complainant decided she would prefer an
administrative outcome for the case, instead of a court-martial trial. The client, therefore, submitted a request
for an administrative alternative disposition, and that request was approved. The charges and sexual assault case against
the accused were dropped by the government in favor of the administrative
resolution.</span></b></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="background: rgb(17, 51, 85); line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><b><span face="Arial, sans-serif" style="color: #cccccc;">If the case had proceeded to trial, and if the
client was convicted of the alleged sexual assault allegations, he faced a
federal criminal record, dishonorable discharge, many years in prison, and sex
offender registration. The administrative
resolution saved the client from all of those. </span></b></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="background: rgb(17, 51, 85); line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><b><span face="Arial, sans-serif" style="color: #cccccc;">While this military court-martial 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. </span></b></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="background: rgb(17, 51, 85); line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><b><span face="Arial, sans-serif" style="color: #cccccc;">For more information about the military

including ours, offer free initial consultations.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>People sometimes mistake “free initial
consultation” as meaning “free legal advice.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Free initial consultation with a lawyer is <b><i><u>not</u></i></b> the
same as free legal advice.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">As lawyers handling
criminal or disciplinary cases, we should not, and do not, offer free legal
advice to someone who is not our client after a short telephone call or email
exchange.</span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"> </span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">That would be very ill-informed
and dangerous for both the attorney and the caller, and could even be
unethical, depending upon the situation.</span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Initial consultations
are simply meant as an introduction between the caller and the attorney.</span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"> </span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">It allows the attorney to hear basic
information about the case from the caller’s perspective, and to have a general
discussion about the case and the legal system so both the attorney and the
caller can make decisions about whether the attorney would be a good fit for
the case.</span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"> </span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Only after hiring an attorney
would the caller – who is now an actual client – receive the attorney’s legal
advice.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Legal advice is professional
advice given by an attorney to his/her client based on the attorney’s education,
training, and experience, and based on the evidence, facts of the case, and
legal issues.</span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"> </span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Legal advice is not given
as a quick, knee-jerk, reaction to a brief one-sided account given by someone
who, before the phone call or email, was a complete stranger to the attorney.</span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">You would not expect,
for example, to call a doctor out of the blue, tell him/her that you have pain
in your side, and have the doctor just blurt out that you have liver cancer and
will need major surgery – all without doing any medical evaluation of the case.</span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"> </span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">That is roughly equivalent to a person calling
a lawyer, briefly explaining the situation to the lawyer </span><i style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">from the caller’s perspective</i><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">,
and then asking the lawyer “What are my defenses?</span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"> </span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">What would be our strategy?</span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"> </span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">What are my chances?</span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"> </span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">What should I do?”</span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"> </span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Such legal advice cannot be determined based
on a quick initial consultation.</span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Initial consultations
are important for the attorney-client relationship, and as a beginning discussion
between attorney and potential client.</span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"> </span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">That
is why we offer free initial consultations.</span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">
</span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">We want to meet you and to hear about the criminal, disciplinary, or
adverse action case you’re facing in the military.</span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"> </span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Initial consultations should not be
approached as an opportunity to receive free legal advice, however.</span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Here is an Article

V. Stevens (Military Defense Law Offices of Richard V. Stevens, P.C.) avoided
disciplinary action and removal from position after a military investigation. </span></span></b></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="background: #113355;"><b><span style="color: #cccccc;"><span style="font-family: arial;">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.<o:p></o:p></span></span></b></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="background: #113355;"><b><span style="color: #cccccc;"><span style="font-family: arial;">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. <o:p></o:p></span></span></b></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="background: #113355; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><b><span style="color: #cccccc;">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. </span></b><span style="color: #cccccc; line-height: 107%;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="background: #113355; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><b><span style="color: #cccccc;">For more information about

News:</span></u></b><span style="color: #cccccc; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="background: #113355; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><b><span style="color: #cccccc; font-family: "Arial",sans-serif;">Recently, a senior military officer defended by attorney Richard
V. Stevens (Military Defense Law Offices of Richard V. Stevens, P.C.) had the
sexual assault of a minor court-martial case he faced dismissed and dropped by
the military in the middle of trial (UCMJ Article 120).</span></b></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="background: #113355; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><b><span style="color: #cccccc; font-family: "Arial",sans-serif;">When the allegations were
made, the senior officer client was in the midst of a protracted and bitter
divorce and custody dispute. His former
wife sought full custody of their children, and not only refused shared custody,
she refused to comply with the court-ordered shared child custody plan. She amassed thousands of dollars of fines
from the civilian family court as she refused to comply, to the point that she
claimed serious financial problems because of them. </span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="background: #113355; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;"><b><span style="color: #cccccc; font-family: "Arial",sans-serif;">In the midst of this custody
fight, the former wife began to claim the client sexually abused their oldest daughter.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The daughter was interviewed multiple times
by child abuse experts, and did not back up these claims.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>However, as the custody fight dragged on and
the daughter got older and became a “tween” and young teen, she took her
mother’s side in the custody fight.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>At
that point, the daughter/complainant was openly disagreeing with her father’s
rules and she didn’t want to stay with her father far away from her friends and
her life with her mother.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In messages to
her father, she made it clear that she did not want to live with him because of
his rules, and she mentioned nothing about alleged sexual abuse.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Despite multiple previous professional interviews
denying abuse, the teen complainant began to agree with her mother’s
allegations that the accused military officer sexually abused her.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>However, there were few details about alleged
events that were given; instead, there were vague, conclusory claims that “He
sexually abused me over the years” and “I want to live with my mother.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="background: #113355; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;"><b><span style="color: #cccccc; font-family: "Arial",sans-serif;">Civilian child abuse and
law enforcement professionals who interviewed and dealt with the mother and her
teen daughter repeatedly talked to them about concerns that the mother was
coaching and manipulating the complainant, and these concerns were documented.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Still, the mother and teen daughter
persisted.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Their statements to
professionals contained many inconsistencies and troublingly obvious statements
that this would be used by the mother to gain full custody of the children.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="background: #113355; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;"><b><span style="color: #cccccc; font-family: "Arial",sans-serif;">Despite these sexual abuse
claims, the civilian family court did not change the custody arrangement,
likely due to the lack of credibility of the mother’s civilian court testimony,
as compared to what was documented in the professional record.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The mother and daughter then came to the
military, made the abuse claims to the military, got a no-contact order prohibiting
contact between the accused military officer and his daughter, and then – after
years of fighting about custody – the civilian family court scheduled to make a
final custody determination based on the outcome of the military criminal
case.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The mother and daughter’s motives were
clear and obvious.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="background: #113355; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;"><b><span style="color: #cccccc; font-family: "Arial",sans-serif;">The military charged the
accused senior officer with child sexual abuse, and the case proceeded to an
Article 32 hearing.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The Article 32
hearing was presided over by a military judge, serving as Preliminary Hearing Officer
(PHO).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The PHO was highly critical of
the credibility and motives of the teen complainant and her mother.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>However, despite the PHO’s analysis, the
military proceeded to trial against the accused military senior officer. <o:p></o:p></span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="background: #113355; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;"><b><span style="color: #cccccc; font-family: "Arial",sans-serif;">Just prior to trial, the
complainant finally made a sexual abuse allegation that contained details about
date, time, and location.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>While this was
a new allegation against the accused that the complainant never made before –
despite numerous prior professional interviews – this new allegation at least
contained details that could be attacked by the defense.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="background: #113355; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;"><b><span style="color: #cccccc; font-family: "Arial",sans-serif;">At trial, the first
witness called by the government was the teen complainant.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>During her direct testimony, she generally
claimed she had been sexually abused by the accused over the years, and then
she specifically described the one incident that she had raised right before
trial.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Based on the details of that
incident, that it occurred on the night of a specific event, she could not claim
the date was not exact or might be wrong.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>When the defense cross-examination began, the complainant was confronted
with text messages she sent that night that directly contradicted her
allegation.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The text messages she
exchanged with her father that night proved <i><u>that she was not even with her
father that night, as she claimed</u></i>. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="background: #113355; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;"><b><span style="color: #cccccc; font-family: "Arial",sans-serif;">When she was confronted
with her own text messages, she became upset and left the witness stand.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She said she was going to quit the case.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>As we waited for confirmation that she would
not continue, she changed her mind and took the witness stand again.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We started cross-examination again for a few
more minutes.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The teen complainant
claims she has multiple personality disorder (dissociative identity
disorder).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So, when she took the witness
stand again, she claimed she was confused about that incident because she was
not the complainant at all, she was testifying as a male psychological “alter,”
one of 25 alters in her head.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>At that
point, still early in the defense trial cross-examination, the trial was
recessed again to address the witness claiming she was not (psychologically)
the girl named as the alleged victim on the charge sheet, she was an older boy “alter.”<o:p></o:p></span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="background: #113355; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;"><b><span style="color: #cccccc; font-family: "Arial",sans-serif;">What followed was a series
of motion hearings and many details that are not necessary to recount for this blog
post.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Ultimately, the Convening
Authority dismissed the case against the accused with prejudice.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The case was dropped in the middle of trial
cross-examination.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This circus case was
finally over for the accused, at least in the military.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="background: #113355; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;"><b><span style="color: #cccccc; font-family: "Arial",sans-serif;">Had there been a
court-martial trial and sex crime conviction in this case, the military officer
client could have been sentenced to a punitive discharge, a lengthy term of
confinement in prison (possibly decades) and, in addition, he would have been
required to register as a sex offender. His retirement would have
been lost, and his future employment, education, and social opportunities would
be destroyed.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Thankfully, the truth was
exposed, the court-martial case was dropped, and the military senior officer
client was spared this risk of devastation to his future. </span></b><span style="color: #cccccc; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif; line-height: 107%;"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="background: #113355; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;"><b><span style="color: #cccccc; font-family: "Arial",sans-serif;">While this military court-martial
and sexual assault 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. </span></b><span style="color: #cccccc; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif; line-height: 107%;"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="background: #113355;"><b><span style="color: #cccccc; font-family: "Arial",sans-serif;">Recently, a senior military officer defended by attorney Richard
V. Stevens (Military Defense Law Offices of Richard V. Stevens, P.C.) who had
previously received a disputed administrative disciplinary action retired
honorably from the military, at the highest rank he held. <u1:p></u1:p></span></b><span style="color: #cccccc; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif; line-height: 107%;"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="background: #113355;"><b><span style="color: #cccccc; font-family: "Arial",sans-serif;">Because this was an administrative case, there are Privacy Act
issues and regulations that preclude the reporting of specific
details. However, what can be generally described is…<u1:p></u1:p><o:p></o:p></span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="background: #113355;"><b><span style="color: #cccccc; font-family: "Arial",sans-serif;">This case began as a very serious criminal investigation, in
which the client was accused of a crime he did not commit.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The investigation seemed to be based more on assumptions
than any fact or evidence that was objectively incriminating.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>After a very lengthy investigation, no court-martial
charges were preferred, and the criminal aspect of the case was dropped.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>A low-level administrative disciplinary
action was taken due to an ancillary issue.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span></span></b><span style="color: #cccccc; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif; line-height: 107%;"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="background: #113355;"><b><span style="color: #cccccc; font-family: "Arial",sans-serif;">During the course of the investigation, the accused officer’s
retirement was placed on hold.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>After the
case was concluded, and when the client applied to retire, an Officer Grade
Determination (OGD) was triggered and Attorney Stevens represented the client
in that action. In response to the OGD notification, the defense
submitted a rebuttal detailing the exemplary service of the officer at the
highest rank he held. After consideration at the Secretary level,
the senior officer client was notified that he would retire at the highest rank
he held.</span></b><span style="color: #cccccc; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif; line-height: 107%;"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="background: #113355;"><b><span style="color: #cccccc; font-family: "Arial",sans-serif;">He now moves on to the next chapter in his life, without the
stain of a reduced retirement rank along with the significant financial penalty
of such a retirement reduction. While the defense was successful in
this military case, it is important to understand that every case has different
facts, and success in some previous case(s) does not guarantee success in any particular
future case. No military lawyer or civilian defense lawyer,
including those who specialize in military law as we do, can guarantee the
outcome of any military case. <u1:p></u1:p></span></b><span style="color: #cccccc; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif; line-height: 107%;"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

by attorney Richard V. Stevens (Military Defense Law Offices of Richard V.
Stevens, P.C.) had the sexual assault cases they faced dropped by the military before
court-martial charges were preferred against them (UCMJ Article 120).</span></b></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="background: #113355; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><b><span style="color: #cccccc; font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">The first military client was a
non-commissioned officer who was accused of sexual assault by another military
member who had a casual dating relationship with the accused military member. As happens more and more frequently in
military cases, the text messages they sent to each other told the real story,
and led to the case being dropped. As reflected
in the text messages, the sexual interactions between the two were completely
consensual, but the complainant wanted a more serious relationship, and the
accused only wanted to remain casual. In
the complainant’s anger and vindictiveness, she claimed the accused had
sexually assaulted her, but the text messages made clear that wasn’t the
case. Ultimately, the military dropped
the case before preferring court-martial charges against the accused military member. </span></b></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="background: #113355; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><b><span style="color: #cccccc; font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">The second military client was a junior
enlisted member who was accused of sexual assault by a military superior. Again, the text messages they sent to each
other told the real story, and led to the case being dropped and the
complainant facing investigation. In
this case, the complainant abused her position as superior to the accused and
was in a prohibited romantic relationship with him. When questions started arising about the
complainant’s behavior toward the accused, she falsely claimed sexual assault. She did not admit to having any type of personal
relationship with the accused, and she was likely counting on him not revealing
their consensual relationship to shield himself from possible disciplinary
action. She was wrong. The text messages and other corroborating
evidence were revealed to military investigators, and the case against the
accused was dropped, and a disciplinary investigation was begun against the complainant. </span></b></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="background: #113355; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><b><span style="color: #cccccc; font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Had there been court-martial trials and sex
crime convictions in these cases, the clients could have been sentenced to a
punitive discharge, a lengthy term of confinement in prison and, in addition, they
would have been required to register as sex offenders. When false allegations are made, they put
innocent people in very serious jeopardy.
Their lives and futures could be forever altered. Thankfully, the cases were dropped and these two
clients were spared this risk of devastation to their futures. </span></b></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="background: #113355; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><b><span style="color: #cccccc; font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">While these military sexual assault cases were
successfully defended, and never reached court-martial, 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. </span></b></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="background: #113355; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><b><span style="color: #cccccc; font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">For more information about the military

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 Washington DC, Northern Virginia, Maryland, National Capital
Region (NCR), but the military defense representation is worldwide – when
necessary, the attorneys travel to wherever the client is stationed around the
world.</span></b></p>Attorney Richard Stevenshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08128537325703045169noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35189370.post-57156131648428737842022-05-30T12:41:00.002-04:002022-05-30T12:41:40.910-04:00HAPPY AND REFLECTIVE MEMORIAL DAY!<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><b></b></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjfL9UzrlZdABAPpgUprwlsFOoSe47FT7vVYgRGAXOcxcc_npuZ1YVA6SAWC-YIGu9tRxm8jT8OYlicIVcOM-3MQxBfDRsoPTxfIy5MR8LP6jn5HV2P6ari5t11tT4vVXQ3XwmInGB1MVYnNULU_CpaXhtv_ZYshIBL-X3QRITvj5uyQtZzRxs/s320/MemorialDay2.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="250" data-original-width="320" height="156" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjfL9UzrlZdABAPpgUprwlsFOoSe47FT7vVYgRGAXOcxcc_npuZ1YVA6SAWC-YIGu9tRxm8jT8OYlicIVcOM-3MQxBfDRsoPTxfIy5MR8LP6jn5HV2P6ari5t11tT4vVXQ3XwmInGB1MVYnNULU_CpaXhtv_ZYshIBL-X3QRITvj5uyQtZzRxs/w200-h156/MemorialDay2.jpeg" width="200" /></a></b></div><b><span style="background: #113355; color: #cccccc; font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; font-size: 13.5pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><br /></span></b><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiCdx94RzKTQ2jRC_Z1oWnpo5R83GJ3X1K2JgM7VP60DJ2CDdlogDsnwi0Aa0-v4OPTK_wjxqeGlxxbIsj57XwUUuUWqqY9gfruVKHIdI_JoMHVJQe_37DhbpuXdEkp7BFBl9dW0FgY5yzO0xoJr-dorOhTQbk47BjMsDgOO9xAsVM_nKksP7o/s1100/220529085203-01-memorial-day-2022-super-tease.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="619" data-original-width="1100" height="180" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiCdx94RzKTQ2jRC_Z1oWnpo5R83GJ3X1K2JgM7VP60DJ2CDdlogDsnwi0Aa0-v4OPTK_wjxqeGlxxbIsj57XwUUuUWqqY9gfruVKHIdI_JoMHVJQe_37DhbpuXdEkp7BFBl9dW0FgY5yzO0xoJr-dorOhTQbk47BjMsDgOO9xAsVM_nKksP7o/s320/220529085203-01-memorial-day-2022-super-tease.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><b><span style="background: #113355; color: #cccccc; font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; font-size: 13.5pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">We hope you and yours have a happy and meaningful Memorial
