Who We Represent

We represent Army Soldiers across all ranks and roles: OSUT privates, NCOs, Rangers, drill sergeants, instructors, special ops, JAG officers, and senior command. Many of our clients serve in sensitive assignments—military intelligence, cyber warfare, PSYOPs, or deployable teams.

Others are junior enlisted Soldiers falsely accused of misconduct by toxic leaders, jealous peers, or ex-partners. We aggressively investigate these claims, break down the motive to fabricate, and challenge flawed command assumptions before they ruin your career.

We never use a one-size-fits-all defense. Our case plans are tailored, forensic, and trial-ready from day one. This approach has earned us dismissals, full acquittals, and successful resolutions at Fort Benning and installations worldwide.
