What makes us unique
What we do
Becoming known as the best military attorneys is a long road. Individually, our partners each had successful law school careers before transitioning into military duty. Early in their time as military attorneys, Andy and Katie each had phenomenal success — recognized as number 1 by their senior supervisors. Their early success led to prestigious assignments, and has culminated in the civilian world as the best military attorneys.
Together, we are the most integrated team of experienced military attorneys out there today. We operate as a team, all aware of the details of the others’ cases, and committed to bringing the best defense through our joint efforts.
We are proud to say we have fought for clients in every branch, defeating serious allegations like sexual assault for each uniformed service. Statistics aren’t kept to compare one firm to another, but the legend of our firm is cemented in the minds of JAGs and servicemembers worldwide as the very best. Our history of unlikely and difficult acquittals, especially in military sexual assault cases, is unmatched in our opinion. Our past success proves that we have the skill and determination to take on the Government and win big cases, but every case is unique, so call us to talk directly about yours.
