Clarksville Desertion & AWOL Lawyer

Desertion & AWOL Attorney in Clarksville

After enlisting into the armed forces, reality strikes.  It's a tough wake-up call for anyone, let alone a volunteer.  Many make it through training and other preparatory activities before being stationed somewhere.  Some find military life is not actually what they expected.  For whatever reason, they decide to "go AWOL".  Any soldier who leaves their training or post without authorization is considered AWOL (Absence without Leave).  A deserter may be let go through administrative channels and that soldier will be released with less-than-honorable discharge.  After 30 days of unauthorized leave, a soldier is classified as Dropped From Rolls (DFR) or desertion.  Generally, an arrest warrant is then issued and a federal arrest and/or conviction may be the result.  If you or someone you love has gone AWOL, seeking legal counsel with a Clarksville military criminal defense attorney may be the best first step to address the situation.  This is especially relevant if the 30-day benchmark has not yet passed or an arrest has not yet been made.

The armed forces depend on personnel to be where they are needed.  Desertion creates many subsequent problems that the military strives to prevent.  This is a very serious issue, even during peaceful times.  Military prosecutors represent the interests, welfare and reputation of the US military.  They will pursue penalties for deserters.  This situation and potential conviction has severe repercussions and may dramatically impact you for the rest of your life.  Mr. Miller understands your frustrations, disappointments and possible regrets.  He served in the Gulf War, Afghanistan and Kosovo.  Lance now serves as a military criminal defense attorney and he may be the one person who can help you.
