Quick answers
What does of counsel mean on a military defense firm website?
Of counsel often means the lawyer is not a full firm member. Ask whether that person will appear in your court-martial, write motions, and run strategy—or whether the case will be outsourced.
Who should actually handle my court-martial or Article 120 case?
The lawyer you retain should stand next to you in court, answer your calls, prepare strategy, cross-examine witnesses, and give opening and closing. Confirm each role before you hire.
