Christian County Military Criminal Lawyers
Our military men and women have sacrificed themselves for their country. It is often hard to remember that these selfless individuals are also regular people. Sometimes they find themselves in need of legal representation.
In these circumstances it is of extreme importance that military personnel employ a quality and knowledgeable defense attorney. Someone who knows the ins and outs of military trials as well as civilian proceedings. Representation that has JAG experience as well as criminal prosecution experience can be the difference between freedom and incarceration.
Why You Need A Military Criminal Defense Attorney
The Stakes are High
The best thing that a service member can do for themselves if they are involved in a criminal preceding is find a lawyer. In these situations it is you vs. the government.
The government seeks to take away your livelihood, freedom, and future. Do not wage this war alone. You need representation that can advocate for you and achieve the best results.
Good Representation vs. Bad Representation
All industries have the good and the bad. You cannot afford to employ inadequate attorneys to fight for your freedom. Many low-cost, or court provided, attorneys are not capable of representing you. They are typically inexperienced and do not know how to aggressively, yet professionally, represent you.
To display the converse we will examine a law firm with extensive military experience and a military background. This firm also employs former New York prosecutors that have handled some of the biggest cases in the state’s history. The law firm in question is Raiser and Kenniff. (militarycriminallawyers.com)
As one of the most respected and well-known military criminal attorney firms they are a good example of what an experienced team can do for you. Their fifty combined years of service gives them a substantial advantage over most firms.
A good military criminal defense attorney will fight for you and often mitigate the sentence or have it dismissed.
Advice
Arresting officers often pressure individuals into incriminating themselves upon questioning. Here are a few pieces of advice to keep in mind if you find yourself being questioned.
Be Proactive in Hiring an Attorney
If you think that you may need an attorney you should not hesitate to reach out. You should never wait until you have been charged. You have a right to have counsel with your attorney and have him/her present at any interrogation. Officers often attempt to goad a suspect into talking without counsel present.
Once you ask to speak to your attorney they can not legally ask you any more questions without them present. Guilty or innocent, big or small, you should never speak to law officers without representation. Whatever you say can only be used to hurt you.
Poor Representation Will Cost You in the Long Run
Quality legal representation costs more but it will help you save money in the long run. If you lose your case you may lose your salary, retirement, medical and housing benefits, among many other things. This black mark on your record may prevent you from obtaining further employment.
A good military criminal attorney can help mitigate those losses and put you in a better position upon return to civilian life.
The harsh fact is that the military chain of command assumes that a person is guilty until proven innocent. When you stand in the courtroom you are against them, and the justice system. A qualified legal team that has extensive experience in the JAG system and public prosecution can stand with you. You do not have to be alone. Innocent or guilty, an experienced military criminal attorney will fight to help you move on.
