how we operate

Why The Military Defense Firm?

At The Military Defense Firm, we pride ourselves on two overwhelming qualities — experience and mentality. Experience matters in military justice. We know how to handle military cases because we have done it for decades. We have the experience of hundreds of courts-martial, countless discharge proceedings, and thousands of disciplinary actions. We leverage our experience to deliver excellent results.

Mentality also matters. The Military Defense Firm exists for one reason and one reason alone — to serve those who serve our country. We are not involved in military justice for the money or the fame. We are here to help you. We do that through consistent communication, undying dedication, and a relentless pursuit of justice. If you want to work with a legal team that puts clients first, you have come to the right place.

    Our Core Values

    What We Believe

    When your career and military benefits are on the line, you want an experienced military lawyer fighting for you. You want someone who puts clients first. Standing in that foxhole, fighting for your life — you want someone standing next to you who has been there before and knows what to do. 

    Mentality matters. Experience wins.

    Global Reach

    The Military Defense Firm represents clients all over the world, from Korea to Kabul, Alaska to Alabama, and everywhere in between. We work where you serve.

    With Class and Integrity

    We are widely known for our professionalism. If your command wants a fight, we will get in the ring. But we fight with class and integrity. For that, we are respected across the military.
