Quick answers
Can a court-martial lawyer guarantee an acquittal?
No. Honest military defense counsel cannot guarantee results. Anyone promising a guaranteed acquittal is not being straight with you about how trials work.
Why does trial experience matter in a general court-martial?
A general court-martial is high-level criminal litigation. You get one shot at cross-examination, suppression, and closing. Dabbling or on-the-job learning is the wrong fit.
