Serving Military Personnel Across Miami and Florida

Miami and South Florida host numerous military installations, providing strategic support for U.S. operations across the Atlantic and Caribbean. Major locations include:

  • Homestead Air Reserve Base, supporting Air Force operations and rapid deployment missions
  • Naval Air Station Key West, a key hub for Navy aviation and training
  • Miami Military Entrance Processing Station, processing recruits for all service branches
  • Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood area, supporting Reserve and National Guard units

We represent service members from Miami, Fort Lauderdale, Hollywood, Kendall, Coral Gables, and throughout South Florida.

Military Charges We Defend

The military justice system is strict and mistakes can carry lifelong consequences. Our firm defends service members facing:

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

Each case is unique, and we develop a defense strategy that aligns with your branch, the charges, and your long-term career goals.

Why Hire a Civilian Military Defense Lawyer

Military-appointed attorneys often juggle high caseloads and remain within the command structure. A civilian lawyer focuses entirely on your defense. When you work with Mangan Law, you get:

  • Independent representation outside the chain of command
  • Direct communication and personal attention throughout the process
  • Knowledge of both military culture and legal strategy
  • An aggressive defense aimed at protecting your rank, pay, and career

We level the playing field and ensure your rights are protected from start to finish.

Court Martial Defense in Miami

A court martial is the military’s equivalent of a criminal trial and penalties can be severe, including confinement, pay forfeiture, or dishonorable discharge. We defend clients in all types of court martial:

  • Summary court martial for minor offenses
  • Special court martial for mid-level charges
  • General court martial for serious allegations such as violent crimes or sexual misconduct

Our team investigates every aspect of the government’s case, challenges improper evidence, and fights to protect your rights at trial.

Administrative Hearings and Career Protection

Not every case goes to trial. Administrative boards often decide whether a service member can remain in the military. We represent clients at:

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

We compile evidence, character statements, and service records to maximize your chance of staying in uniform or securing an upgraded discharge.

Experienced Defense for Every Branch

We defend Navy, Marine Corps, Army, Air Force, Coast Guard, and Space Force personnel. Whether you are a sailor at NAS Key West, an airman at Homestead Air Reserve Base, or a National Guard member in Miami, we are ready to protect your future.
