Courts Martial Attorney

Do You Need Legal Help with a Court-Martial in Providence or in Rhode Island?

A court-martial is a military court which makes decisions and determines punishments for military personnel who are subject to military law. When a breach of military law or discipline has been charged, the case is tried in a court-martial. In such a proceeding, lawyers for the government and for the accused present the facts, testimony, and legal arguments favorable to their side of the issue. A military judge presides.

Consequences of Courts-Martial

Conviction in a general court-martial is similar to a felony conviction. Lesser charges are often tried by a special court-martial which is sometimes compared to a misdemeanor court. The accused in a general or special court martial is provided free legal counsel by the military, but may engage the services of additional civilian legal counsel, such as the Providence courts-martial attorney at our firm. The consequences of a conviction in a general court-martial may be confinement, a dishonorable or bad conduct discharge or dismissal as an officer, and other punishments. It is important to consult with the Providence courts-martial lawyer at our firm about the particulars of your case in an initial consultation to determine how we may best assist you.
