Experienced Military Defense When Your Career Is at Stake

Military investigations and disciplinary proceedings can have consequences that extend far beyond the immediate matter. An investigation, disciplinary action, or court-martial can affect a service member’s career, reputation, rank, benefits, and future.

At Carmichael Ellis & Brock we represent service members facing military investigations, non-judicial punishment, courts-martial, and administrative proceedings. Our attorneys understand the unique demands of military justice and provide experienced representation from the earliest stages of a matter through its resolution.

Defense That Understands Military Justice

Military law is different from civilian criminal law. Service members face a distinct system of justice and may confront both criminal and administrative consequences arising from the same allegations.

Our attorneys bring experience in military defense and federal criminal litigation to these matters, allowing us to evaluate not only the immediate proceeding but also the broader consequences for a service member’s career and future.

Military investigations can begin before formal charges are ever brought. Statements made and evidence gathered during an investigation can ultimately influence whether disciplinary or criminal action follows.

Our attorneys represent service members during command investigations and other military inquiries, providing counsel from the outset. We help clients understand their rights and obligations, prepare for investigative interviews, respond strategically to allegations, and protect themselves from unnecessary escalation.

We represent service members facing NJP and help them understand their options, evaluate the evidence and allegations, and determine the appropriate response.

Our goal is to protect the service member’s rights and minimize the impact on their military career and record.

A court-martial can place a service member’s liberty, military career, benefits, and future at risk. The military justice system has its own rules, procedures, and evidentiary requirements, making experienced counsel essential.

We represent service members facing summary, special, and general courts-martial. Our attorneys investigate the allegations, challenge the government's evidence, develop defense strategies, and advocate for our clients through trial and sentencing.

Administrative proceedings can determine whether a service member remains in the military and, if separated, the characterization of their service.

We represent enlisted service members facing administrative separation and officers appearing before Boards of Inquiry. We work to protect our clients’ military records, careers, benefits, and future opportunities while pursuing the most favorable outcome available.
