bell county military criminal lawyers

While our judiciary system is a wonderful and effective means of sorting the guilty from the innocent, there are times when it falls short. An all-too-aggressive investigation targets the wrong people, their rights end up trampled, and the wrong lawyer is appointed to defend them. What unfolds is a classic courtroom scenario of an inexperienced lawyer losing the battle against a far more adept one, and the good guy winds up behind bars as a result. Of all the citizens in our nation to be falsely imprisoned, our front-line defenders are least deserving of it.

It’s not the fault of the appointed JAG lawyer in these situations. While it’s great that our system will appoint you a free defense for your case, the judge advocate doesn’t have the finest lineup of suits to protect you with — that’s why they’re free. However, there are civilian JAG lawyers with decades of experience defending wrongfully accused members of all military branches, and they can privately work one-on-one with you to present the most compelling and aggressive case for your innocence.

The good part is, private military criminal lawyers will often assess a fee only if you win the case under their defense. We here at Raiser & Kenniff provide such a benefit as a guarantee of our success rate — a solid 99%. This is the kind of performance you can only expect from JAG lawyers and former prosecutors who know the military branches inside and out as well as the laws that govern their conduct and ultimately the very reason you were targeted by the law. Because these lawyers are so powerful, influential and well-established, they show no fear in the face of any accusation within a courtroom setting — it’s practically where they live.

Keep in mind that appointed JAG lawyers will more than likely lack experience in a number of the areas that are required to cover all of the ground that may be expected of them. Unfortunately, not all such lawyers will have the necessary grasp of the codes of conduct in every situation. While you might wind up with a defender who’s studied up on the laws pertaining to murder, theft and discharge, they may not know how to handle cases pertaining to sexual misconduct or drug abuse — the very charges that you may be facing under their protection. Worse, they may have never tackled a case before — book study alone won’t make up for their lack of experience. The bottom line is, you won’t know what you’re getting when you allow the judge to assign your defense.

That all changes when you elect for a private JAG attorney, who can be counted on to live and breathe every letter of the books cover-to-cover. Because these particular defenders have more than likely been in almost every seat of a similar situation as yours (perhaps even accused), they know when to speak, what to expect each party to say and where the loopholes in the law will be. They may also have a finer suss of the judge’s personal views and know how to present the case in a way that will connect with all relevant listeners in the courtroom. This is essential, as a poorly communicated argument — logical and true as it may be — will not only fail to develop emotional adhesion with the jurors, but ultimately inspire the sense that you doubt your client’s own innocence.

The goldenmost trait that defines us here at Raiser & Kenniff is simple: We believe in our clients’ innocence, and we express this confidence without fear in the face of our nation’s highest judicial powers. In essence, a private JAG attorney will know the blueprint to graceful lawyering like the back of both hands. They will know the books, how to hold their clients’ confidence and maintain the assurance that our system represents innocence until proven guilty. With an unsurpassed understanding of the law and genuine experience from the many viewpoints that may be dissected and assessed in pursuit of guilt or innocence, they project an eminent confidence in the truths that courtrooms can not avoid forever.
