How We Win Sexual Assault Court Martial Cases
There is no question in our mind, we are regarded as the biggest names in Air Force sexual assault court martial defense. There are no lawyers we’ve seen that carry the same clout when we walk into the room. It doesn’t matter the branch of service, the judges often know us, the prosecutors almost always know us, and for those who didn’t know us before we arrive, we leave with a reputation as the most skilled and dominate defense counsel in the military system.
We set ourselves apart by conducting our trial with hard work and dignity. There are no shortcuts to effective criminal defense work. It takes dozens, and usually, hundreds, of hours to get fully ready for a trial. Complex trials with dozens of witnesses take even more time. There is no way around the time required to prepare these cases. So many other civilian attorneys treat their case preparation as a distraction from their business objectives of making money. We consider it the most important part of our business.
It is hard to describe what preparation for these cases looks like because every case is so unique. It starts with a detailed review of the entire case file, making very careful notes in order to demonstrate inconsistencies at trial. When we watch videos, we typically have every word transcribed and attached to specific time hacks, making in court confrontation something that isn’t an option for virtually any other attorney out there.
We bring dignity to the preparation process. We show up to trials days in advance, not hours like so many other civilians. We don’t rush our clients’ preparation process. The majority of people we talk to after the lost their trial with a different attorney complain that they didn’t testify because their attorney didn’t help them prepare. We work every day of every weekend before a trial. We interview every accuser we have the chance to interview and do so with the specific purpose of gathering additional information that investigators and prosecutors failed to investigate.
Recent Air Force Sexual Assault Court Martial Case Results
One recent Air Force sexual assault case ended in full acquittal of our client who was not only facing a sexual assault court martial allegation, but had a number of other incidents the prosecutors were trying to use to support their claims. We were able to convince the Air Force judge to disallow evidence of other allegations of misconduct and required the Government to stick to the allegations they charged. There is a very important factor to the reputation our firm carries in Air Force courtrooms as the former elite prosecutors for the JAG Corps.
Another case was a very unusual sexual assault case. Our officer client was accused of a series of inappropriate sexual interactions with his subordinates and peers. There had been previous conversations about plea agreements, but those were unacceptable because they included a provision that would subject our client to jail time. In the end, our client was acquitted of a substantial portion of the allegations. Even though he was convicted of some offenses, he was given NO jail time, the result the client wanted all along.
