A court-martial trial is often your only real chance to cross-examine accusers, suppress illegally obtained evidence, expose a weak investigation, and argue to the panel. Gonzalez & Waddington stresses that no lawyer can guarantee an outcome, but a general court-martial is high-level litigation—not a place for amateurs. Call 1-800-921-8607.

Quick answers
Can I redo a court-martial if my lawyer misses key evidence?
Usually no. After findings, you cannot simply re-run cross-examination or fix a weak trial strategy. The first trial is often your main shot to challenge the government’s case.
Why does experience matter in a general court-martial?
General courts-martial are serious criminal trials. You need counsel who regularly tries hard cases, attacks forensics, and exposes investigative failures—not someone learning on your case.
