When NCIS, OSI, CID, or CGIS launches a criminal investigation against you in Florida, everything changes instantly. Your career, your reputation, your clearance, your freedom, and your entire future are placed at risk. These agencies are not neutral, and they are not your friends. They are trained, federal-level investigative bodies whose purpose is to collect information that supports prosecution — not truth.
Florida is one of the most active and dangerous states for military criminal investigations. With massive naval, air, special operations, intelligence, aviation, cyber, Coast Guard, and joint-force populations stationed across the state, NCIS, OSI, CID, and CGIS operate at full throttle year-round. From Jacksonville to Pensacola, Tampa to Miami, Clearwater to Key West, Florida service members are interrogated, targeted, and pursued aggressively.
Gonzalez & Waddington, Attorneys at Law is one of America’s top military defense firms, defending service members in the most serious NCIS, OSI, CID, and CGIS cases — including sexual assault, domestic violence, drug cases, classified violations, fraud, and high-profile misconduct allegations.
If you are under investigation in Florida, you must assume they already believe you are guilty.

Florida hosts some of the busiest military installations in the country. As a result, each major investigative agency maintains heavy presence and fast operational tempo here:
Each agency is staffed with experienced investigators who know how to extract statements, twist words, intimidate suspects, and manipulate evidence. Florida is their testing ground — they investigate everything aggressively.
Florida combines the worst possible conditions for military members:
Most Florida military criminal investigations begin with:
The biggest mistake service members make is assuming they can “clear things up” by talking to NCIS, OSI, CID, or CGIS.
This is how innocent people get convicted.
If NCIS/OSI/CID/CGIS wants to talk to you, you are already a target.
Florida is one of the most heavily investigated states in the military justice system.
Our firm has decades of experience dismantling bad investigations and protecting innocent service members from federal-level investigators.
Our mission is simple: prevent charges from ever being filed — or win if they are.
Your silence is your greatest weapon. Your lawyer is your shield. Your strategy is your survival.
No — never. Innocent service members are charged every week in Florida because they spoke to military investigators. These agencies assume guilt, twist statements, and build cases. Always consult a civilian defense attorney first.
No. Innocence does not protect you. Investigators manipulate statements, misinterpret context, and ignore exculpatory evidence. Many Florida service members were innocent — until they tried to “explain” themselves. Silence is your best defense.
It can — unless you act immediately. Investigations often lead to NJP, separation boards, BOIs, clearance suspension, or court-martial. Early intervention by a civilian attorney dramatically improves outcomes.

We have decades of global trial experience, unmatched cross-examination skill, and a proven track record of dismantling NCIS, OSI, CID, and CGIS investigations — especially in Florida, where accusations often come from intoxicated civilians, jealous partners, or sloppy police work.
