At Golden Law, we know we are the best in the business, and we’re here to tell you how to defend against military criminal charges.  We are battle-hardened criminal trial lawyers that have been through countless criminal cases.  We execute at such a high level that we don’t need to keep our methods a secret.  Here’s how we defend you against military criminal charges.

Strict Attention to Detail

 In criminal trials, the details make the difference.  We pay strict attention to detail in three different areas.

First, we strive for perfection in every email, letter, memorandum, motion, and document we provide to the prosecutor and judge in your case.  We continuously focus on preparing the best written product we can.  We know the law well, but we double check our sources at every step along the way.  We present a polished, professional image from the minute we begin to work on your case.  That level of perfection has paid off in countless cases, when the judge looks to us (and not the prosecutors) for a solution to an issue knowing that we will always present the most well-reasoned response.

Second, we believe that anything we do in front of a jury has to be flawless.  From the polish on our shoes to the performance of our closing arguments, we work tirelessly to present an impeccable defense.  Attorneys that have worked with us will tell you that we stay up later and wake up earlier than anyone else, because we know that we need to work hard and be the textbook example of a defense counsel fighting for you.  We can sleep when the jury announces that you are NOT GUILTY.

Third, we scour the investigative files looking for every single detail that could give us an advantage in a case.  By the time your trial comes along, we will know the investigative files inside and out.  We will identify and exploit every single inconsistency or unanswered question.  We will prepare diligently for single witness, no matter how important they may be in your case.  Sometimes, facts as small as the color of the room where the allegation occurred may make the difference between you going to jail or you going home.  We will know those facts better than the witnesses themselves.

Relentless Investigation

 Beyond the investigative files provided to us by the government, we will launch an aggressive and relentless investigation of the allegations against you.  Having tried hundreds of court-martial cases between us, we know what tools to use to find out important information about the witnesses or the evidence.

As an example, we once had a case where his client was accused of shooting a firearm at another military member.  We did what the prosecutors refused to do.  He visited the home where the shooting occurred and investigated the details of the case.  He found the place where the bullet from his client’s firearm entered the wall.  And when he realized that the prosecution had gotten it wrong, he brought on a forensic scientist to detail the crime scene and testify in defense of his client.  That client was found NOT GUILTY, all because of hard work and relentless investigation.

This is a small example of what we do every day in defense of our clients.  We find out information about a case that even the prosecutors don’t know.  And we rely on our relentless investigation to deliver the best possible defense for you.

Unparalleled Teamwork

 Finally, we are unlike any military defense team out there.  The team at Golden Law has known each other for over a decade.  We are more than professional partners – we are friends.  We challenge each other to get better every day.  We bounce ideas off each other when we prepare for trial.  We fight your fight together.

We have also learned how to work closely with your detailed military attorney to present the best possible defense for you.  Throughout our years of defending military members, we have established excellent working relationships with military attorneys worldwide.  Other civilian attorneys may struggle to work with military attorneys.  They may ignore your military attorney or, even worse, they may make your military attorney do all the work while they collect the paycheck.  We are different.  We take the lead in your case.  We engage with your military attorney. And we create a powerful working relationship that pays dividends at trial.

Through strict attention to detail, a relentless investigation and unparalleled teamwork, Golden Law is best positioned to defend you against military criminal charges.
