Air Force E-7 was charged with raping an Army E-3 while both were TDY to Germany. At his subsequent General Court-Martial, we dissected the alleged victim’s actions both before and after the alleged rape, establishing her consent to all sexual activity that took place that evening. In addition, we presented expert testimony regarding the effects of alcohol on the alleged victim’s ability to consent and make decisions throughout her interaction with our client. Result: Our client was ACQUITTED of the charge against him.

Air Force E-3 was charged with raping and engaging in indecent acts with a 15-year old girl. At his General Court-Martial, our aggressive cross-examination of the alleged victim established countless inconsistencies in her version of what occurred. Further, we presented evidence of our client’s innocent state of mind following the night that the misconduct allegedly occurred. Result: Without even having to testify, our client was ACQUITTED of all charges against him.

Air Force E-4 was charged with possession of child pornography and indecent acts with his 4-year old stepson. After securing a favorable pre-trial agreement on the child pornography charge, our client pleaded not guilty to the indecent acts. At his court-martial, we challenged the competency of the child as a witness and objected to his testimony. After repeated attempts by the government to establish the child’s ability to testify as a witness, the military judge sustained our objection and ruled that the child was not competent to testify. Result: Our client was found NOT GUILTY of the indecent acts charge.

A Navy Sailor was charged with assaulting a female Senior Chief with the intent to commit rape as she slept in Female CPO Berthing on their ship. Upon apprehension, the Sailor was immediately placed into pre-trial confinement where he remained until trial. After extensive pre-trial negotiations, we secured a pre-trial agreement wherein the Convening Authority agreed to dismiss the charge of assault with the intent to commit rape in return for a plea of guilty to a lesser included offense. At the court-martial, we argued that our client's time spent in pre-trial confinement was unusually harsh and warranted additional pre-trial confinement credit. The military judge agreed with us and awarded 2 for 1 credit for each day our client was confined prior to trial. As a result of the judge’s ruling, our client was released from confinement immediately following his court-martial.

Prior to our involvement and based upon the erroneous advice of a Navy JAG, a Navy Chief with over 17 years of military service entered into a pre-trial diversion agreement (PDA) to resolve civilian charges that he sexually molested a 12-year old girl. Unknown to our client, this PDA qualified as a "Civilian Conviction" under existing Navy regulations and triggered mandatory separation processing. At his subsequent administrative discharge board, we convinced the members that the evidence did not support a finding that he committed the alleged misconduct. Result: Members found that NO MISCONDUCT occurred and our client was RETAINED in the U.S. Navy.

A Navy Master Chief with over 26 years of military service was charged with an unprofessional relationship, sexual harassment, disrespect to a commissioned officer and wrongfully soliciting a subordinate Sailor for sexual intercourse. His command referred his case to a court-martial and our client was facing the possibility of a criminal record, confinement, and the loss of his retirement. After being retained, we conducted an exhaustive investigation into the command climate at our client’s Squadron that revealed a great deal of similar misconduct by other members of the Squadron. We were then able to negotiate an alternate disposition of the charges against our client. As a result of this alternate disposition, our client avoided a criminal record, avoided confinement, and was able to RETIRE as a Master Chief.

Air Force E-7 was charged in 2004 with raping an Army E-3 while both were TDY to Germany. Due to our representation at his General Court-Martial, he was found NOT GUILTY of the charge against him (additional details below). In 2007, the same client was charged with indecently assaulting and attempting to commit forcible sodomy with an Air Force E-4 while TDY to Turkey. At his second General Court-Martial, the military judge permitted the previous alleged victim to testify again regarding the alleged rape from 2004. In addition, the military judge also permitted a former Air Force E-3 to testify that our client had indecently assaulted her in 1990 while TDY to Oman. Despite the apparent pattern of sexual assaults in TDY environments, we were still able to convince the officer member panel that our client was NOT GUILTY OF ALL CHARGES against him.

An Air Force doctor was charged with sexually assaulting 6 female patients during medical appointments. We highlighted numerous problems in the government's case, and successfully convinced the command to WITHDRAW AND DISMISS all sexual assault charges. Instead, our client pleaded guilty only to an orders violation for failing to wear gloves and have a chaperone during his physical examinations of his patients. Result: Our client avoided a sex offender registration and received a General (Under Honorable Conditions) separation from the Air Force.
