Orlando Military Crime Attorney

Military Criminal Defense in Orlando, Florida

All servicemen and women in the U.S. military must abide by the military code of laws, referred to as martial law. When a person in the military violates martial law, they will be subjected to legal repercussions in military court, which is a separate and autonomous entity from the criminal courts that process civilian cases, and has its own set of laws, personnel, regulations, procedures, and penalties.

If you have been accused or charged with violating martial law, it’s important to ensure you have the representation of a skilled defense attorney. If you are found guilty in military court, you will be subjected to a number of penalties, which are different from the penalties a person would typically receive in civilian court. Depending on the severity of the crime, you could be sentenced to:

A reduction in pay grade
Loss of pension or certain benefits
Demotion to a lower rank
Fines
Reprimand
Confinement
Dishonorable discharge
Death penalty
