MILITARY MEDICAL PROVIDER REPRESENTATION

If you are a military health professional at Fort Wainwright, you make important professional contributions to protect the health, safety, well-being, and physical/mental readiness of soldiers and army officers. If you are facing any legal issues related to your professional services, having the right military medical provider defense attorney by your side is a must. Our military lawyers can help you with the full range of issues and legal assistance at Fort Wainwright in Alaska, including:

Clinical Adverse Action Process: The clinical adverse action process is tailored for military medical providers. It is a broad and comprehensive process that exists to address accusations of misconduct or incompetence. Along with other things, the process includes detailed investigations, peer panel reviews, and, if necessary, formal hearings. Our role involves providing you with strategic legal guidance at each stage of the process.

ADVERSE ADMINISTRATIVE ACTIONS

Our military attorneys travel and represent Soldiers and Army officers at Fort Wainwright in federal court in the Anchorage-area who are facing potential adverse administrative action. These are punishment proceedings that do not involve the court-martial process. Protecting your rights and livelihood is our primary concern. It is critical for service members stationed at Fort Wainwright to know the following key aspect of military law:

Article 15 of the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ): Article 15 is a part of the UCMJ that allows commanders to administer non-judicial punishment to address minor disciplinary issues within their ranks. The aim is to correct behavior through a less severe, more efficient process than formal judicial proceedings. However, the consequences of being subjected to an Article 15 adverse administrative action can be quite severe for a service member at Fort Wainwright. It can impact your military career in various ways—from hindering promotion to preventing rank advancements to causing complications with your security clearance renewal. Our Fort Wainwright military defense lawyer can help.

COURT-MARTIAL REPRESENTATION
A court-martial in the military context serves as a formal judicial tribunal that tries members of the military accused of violating the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ). It functions akin to civilian courts—but is specifically tailored to meet the unique demands and discipline of military life. We represent clients and defend soldiers and officers facing all types of court-martial cases at Fort Wainwright, including:

General Court-Martial (GCM): As the apex court in the military’s legal system, the General Court-Martial deals with the most grave offenses like desertion, rape, and murder. If you are facing a general court- martial in Fort Wainwright, you are exposed to the most serious penalties—including imprisonment, discharge, and even death. Get a lawyer right away.
Special Court-Martial (SPCM): The Special Court-Martial operates as a mid-level court, focusing on offenses that would generally be considered misdemeanors in civilian court systems. It is tasked with adjudicating moderately serious military offenses. We can help you navigate the Special Court-Martial process at Fort Wainwright.
Summary Court-Martial (SCM): Focused on lesser offenses, the Summary Court-Martial offers a faster and less formal judicial process. It does not require a judge or jury, as a single officer typically oversees the proceedings. That said, you still can—and should—consult with an attorney.
