Defending Service Members Across Texas

Texas is home to some of the largest and most strategically important military installations in the country. These bases host thousands of active-duty personnel, reservists, civilian employees, and military families. That also means legal issues arise frequently, including courts-martial, administrative hearings, and security clearance disputes. Our team represents service members in:

  • Joint Base San Antonio, including Fort Sam Houston, Lackland Air Force Base, and Randolph Air Force Base
  • Fort Hood, home to the III Corps and one of the largest U.S. military bases
  • Naval Air Station Corpus Christi, supporting Navy flight operations and training
  • Fort Bliss, a key Army post near El Paso with artillery, air defense, and armor units
  • Randolph Air Force Base, part of Joint Base San Antonio, a central training hub
  • Surrounding communities where military families live

We serve clients across these areas and nearby cities, ensuring military members receive the legal help they need close to home.

Understanding Military Legal Challenges

Service members in Texas face a unique set of rules under the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ). Charges can range from minor infractions to serious felonies, and consequences can include:

  • Non-judicial punishment or Article 15 proceedings
  • Court-martial trials for offenses such as drug violations, assault, or misconduct
  • Administrative hearings, including Boards of Inquiry and administrative separation boards
  • Security clearance revocations or denials
  • Medical discharges and disability evaluations
  • Record corrections or discharge upgrades

Each situation requires careful attention and specialized legal expertise. Civilian attorneys like us provide a level of advocacy and independence that military-appointed attorneys cannot always offer.

Why You Need a Civilian Military Defense Lawyer

While the military provides attorneys for certain cases, those lawyers often operate within the chain of command. Hiring a civilian Texas military defense lawyer ensures:

  • Representation focused entirely on your interests
  • Experienced attorneys who understand military law but are not on the military payroll
  • Tailored guidance for each branch of service and each type of case
  • Comprehensive defense that protects careers, security clearances, and benefits

We work closely with service members to review charges, investigate evidence, and build a defense that maximizes the chance of a favorable outcome.

Services for All Branches of the Military

Our firm offers specialized representation for every branch of the military:

  • Army Defense Lawyer: Serving personnel at Fort Hood, Fort Bliss, and other Army posts, defending against drug offenses, insubordination, and misconduct.
  • Air Force Defense Lawyer: Providing representation at bases like Lackland and Randolph, handling court-martials, administrative actions, and security clearance issues.
  • Marine Corps Defense Lawyer: Defending Marines stationed in Texas or deployed elsewhere, including court-martial and administrative hearings.
  • Navy Defense Lawyer: Advocating for Navy personnel facing UCMJ violations, officer misconduct, and non-judicial punishment.
  • Coast Guard Defense Lawyer: Representing Coast Guard members on allegations of misconduct or positive drug tests.

Our attorneys are familiar with the procedures and culture of each branch, ensuring effective and targeted defense.

Handling Military Courts and Administrative Proceedings

Military legal proceedings in Texas can involve complex formal processes, including:

  • Court Martial Defense: From summary trials to general court-martials, we ensure every procedural safeguard is used to protect your rights.
  • Article 15 (Non-Judicial Punishment) Defense: We help service members minimize career impact from minor infractions.
  • Board of Inquiry Representation: Administrative boards can determine separation or retention. We prepare evidence and present defenses to prevent unfair outcomes.
  • Security Clearance Defense: Losing a clearance can impact careers. We review findings, challenge inaccuracies, and advocate for reinstatement.
  • Medical Discharge and Military Discharge Upgrades: We assist in medical evaluations, discharge reviews, and corrections to service records.
