Why NAS Jacksonville UCMJ Cases Are High-Stakes and Politically Sensitive

  • As a flagship aviation base in the Southeast, NAS Jacksonville attracts national attention during misconduct cases—especially those involving sexual assault, command violations, or IG complaints.
  • Commanders are under pressure to “act quickly” and “set an example,” which can lead to premature charges, flawed investigations, and denial of due process.
  • Many NCIS investigations are biased from the start. Agents may cherry-pick facts, ignore exculpatory evidence, or adopt trauma-informed logic that distorts the truth.
  • Our military defense attorneys know how to push back—by turning their narrative inside out using science, strategy, and relentless cross-examination.
  • If you’re stationed at NAS Jacksonville and accused of a UCMJ offense, your best move is early, aggressive legal intervention. We don’t wait—we attack weak points before the government hardens its case.
