Defending General Courts Martial

Clarksville General Court Martial Defense Attorney

If you are being prosecuted under the UCMJ, you are facing some daunting odds.  The military prosecution team often outnumbers the defense on five-to-one.  The government has almost unlimited resources and the military prosecution team is relentless in seeking a conviction; their conviction rate is 90%.  Many accused individuals become apathetic as they truly do not believe that they can receive justice in the military court.  It is true that there are problems in the military justice system; the quest for a conviction can extend beyond the believable.  Certain witnesses can be given immunity, special deals and other advantages if they give evidence in court to convict you.  You may not be allowed expert witnesses when the prosecution team can bring forward the same.  How these problems are addressed and resolved takes skill, knowledge and a passionate interest in seeking real justice in military court.

Defending Cases in Military Court:  General Court Martial

If you are convicted, this does not mean that you won't later face a civil trial - there is no such thing as double jeopardy in military court.  The problems are so vast that it may seem that there is no hope, but this is far from the truth.  What you need is a skilled and experienced military criminal defense attorney.  Lance Miller not only has years of experience in the military justice system, both as a JAG as well as a Chief of Military Justice for the 101st Airborne Division at Fort Campbell in his last assignment.  There are few attorneys that have the long term experience in all aspects of military justice than our attorney.

When special deals are made and witnesses bring false evidence, this is when the knowledge and experience is brought to bear.  Cross examination of the witness by an insightful and talented attorney can make the difference between spending months or years in military prison and being free to live your life, whether in or out of the armed forces.  Lance is more than willing to discuss your case and he urges you to call as soon as possible after the arrest.
