What Is the BCMR?

The Board for Corrections of Military Records (BCMR) is a branch of the U.S. government responsible for addressing errors or injustices made during a military personnel's career. This can include correcting improper discharges, removing negative performance evaluations, and changing disability ratings. The BCMR is composed of experienced officers from each branch of the military who carefully review cases and make recommendations for change to the Secretary of the respective service.

Defending Military Clients in Board for Corrections Cases

At Raiser & Kenniff, P.C., we have extensive experience in representing military personnel in a range of BCMR cases. Below are some of the common types of BCMR cases our skilled military criminal lawyers handle:

• Discharge Upgrades: We assist service members who have been unfairly discharged or wish to upgrade the characterization of their discharge. An unfair discharge not only affects a military personnel's reputation but also impacts the benefits they're eligible for.
• Removal of Negative Evaluations: Sometimes, a service member may receive an unjust negative evaluation that could affect their career progression. Our experienced military defense attorneys fight to remove these unjust negative evaluations from their personnel records.
• Correction of Military Records: We handle cases where a service member's military records need correction due to errors or oversights. This could include mistakes in-service dates, duty stations, awards, or ranks.
• Change in Disability Ratings: Cases involving changes in disability ratings are also common. We advocate for service members to ensure they receive a fair and accurate disability rating.
• Reinstatement into Service: In certain cases, we help service members who have been unfairly separated from the military get reinstated.

Our team of dedicated BCMR lawyers is committed to providing the highest level of defense for military personnel, aiming to secure the best possible outcome for every client.
