Serving Military Personnel Across Hawaii

Hawaii is one of the most important defense locations in the Pacific and hosts major installations for every branch of the United States military. Thousands of service members are stationed throughout Oahu, Kauai, and nearby islands. Key locations include:

  • Joint Base Pearl Harbor Hickam on Oahu, supporting surface fleets, submarines, and air operations
  • Marine Corps Base Hawaii at Kaneohe Bay, a vital hub for expeditionary and littoral training
  • Schofield Barracks and Fort Shafter, major Army commands supporting ground forces
  • Wheeler Army Airfield, a central location for Army aviation units
  • Pacific Missile Range Facility on Kauai, the largest fully instrumented missile test range in the world

We represent service members throughout Oahu, Honolulu, Pearl City, Kapolei, Ewa Beach, Kaneohe, and across the Hawaiian Islands.

Military Charges We Defend

The military justice system is strict and unforgiving. Even one accusation can jeopardize your career and damage your reputation. Our firm defends clients facing:

  • UCMJ violations including AWOL, insubordination, and dereliction of duty
  • Court martial proceedings involving assault, theft, drug charges, or sexual misconduct
  • Non judicial punishment under Article 15
  • Administrative separation boards and discharge related issues
  • Security clearance suspensions or revocations
  • Positive drug tests and substance related allegations
  • Appeals and record corrections for past cases

Every service member deserves a defense tailored to their situation. We build strategies that reflect your branch, your goals, and the evidence in your case.

Why Hire Sean Mangan

Military appointed attorneys handle many cases at once and remain within the chain of command. A civilian defense lawyer works solely for you with complete independence.

When you work with Mangan Law, you receive:

  • Representation outside the military command structure
  • Clear communication and direct access to your attorney
  • Deep knowledge of military culture, rules, and procedures
  • A defense focused on preserving your rank, benefits, and long term career

Our mission is to ensure that you are treated fairly and that your rights remain protected at every stage.

Court Martial Defense in Hawaii

Court martial trials operate like criminal courts and penalties can be severe. Depending on the charge, you may face confinement, pay forfeiture, loss of rank, or a punitive discharge. We defend service members in:

  • Summary court martial for lower level offenses
  • Special court martial for mid level charges
  • General court martial for the most serious allegations

We challenge weak evidence, question improper procedures, examine witness credibility, and work to protect your freedom and your career.

Administrative Hearings and Career Protection

Not every case goes to a court martial. Many career threatening issues are handled through administrative processes. We represent service members in:

  • Administrative separation boards
  • Boards of Inquiry
  • Medical Evaluation Boards
  • Discharge upgrade boards

We prepare evidence, gather performance records, and present your service history to help you keep your position or secure the most favorable outcome.
