Military Sexual Harassment Lawyer – Worldwide Representation

Sexual Harassment Charges Require an Experience Military Defense. If you are a servicemember in the Armed Forces of the U.S. Military and you have been accused of sexual harassment, you need to get serious about hiring a civilian criminal defense Attorney. If you have already been charged, it is absolutely imperative.

Sexual Harassment, Sexual Offenses and Rape are all serious charges if you are in the armed forces. Even if you being accused of unwanted advancements, touching, or some seemingly-minor accusation of sexual assault, you are facing an uphill battle. Fortunately, in all sexual offense cases, if you have an experienced military criminal defense lawyer representing you, you can take some comfort in that all sexual assault cases are winnable or can sometimes result is a “draw” —either in the investigation stage or during litigation. Many allegations of sexual harassment are proved to be unfounded. That said, the best defense is one that can be effective during the investigation stages. So do yourself a favor and seek skilled criminal defense counsel at the initial outset while the circumstances are “up in the air” and fluid —-not down the road after your entire command becomes invested and builds a case that they might reluctantly feel that they must prosecute all the way through the system.

Unfortunately, should a servicemember be convicted of a serious sexual assault, not only are you are facing significant incarceration, but a lifetime of regrets as you are confronted with annual Megan’s Law sex offender registration at the police department in whatever city you might attempt to make a home. “Attempt” is the operative word. Your home address and picture will be available to your neighbors, friends and co-workers. We know, first hand, that such an existence (when mandatory sexual offender registration is required) is difficult at best, and opportunities for even reduced-expectations of any kind of fulfilling employment opportunities are unrealistic. It may be unfair, but that is the law as currently in place for some years now.

You need to pull out the stops and secure the best private criminal defense counsel you can find. There are no “do overs” in these cases – you must attempt to prevail by having the accusations thwarted, and pending or current charges dropped or reduced to something far less serious and the potential punishments similarly eliminated or reduced. The prosecution of sexual offenses is very much politically-championed in the new century, but there is no requirement that you should fall upon the sword and become the poster child as a “successful prosecution” at your base, post or station. Pick up your cell and become pro-active. The truth is, a more experienced professional advocating on your behalf can make many of these stressful situations move to your rear-view mirror. Doing nothing but allowing the “system” to predicatively-forward without competent protest and skillful challenges will generally not end well.

A skilled and competent private military defense lawyer can review statements and evidence in the investigative stages when it is possible that just renewed and intense scrutiny might cause your accusers rethink, back-down, or minimally decide to ratchet-back their potential support of your accuser. Moreover, examination of forensic evidence, the accuser’s statements and an investigation of facts from your point of view can often turn the tables. Finding witnesses to support your case and character will often times influence your case and/or your command to back off on moving forward. Your command, the command’s investigators and detailed prosecutor(s) will gladly drop a case that has a heavy-hitter brought in and the chances of success become a coin toss. Just like City and County DA’s in the civilian criminal system —they will only prosecute “sure thing” cases – as they like to maintain a winning record which makes for career advancements. Losses don’t look so well in their jacket.

A military servicemember facing serious charges must secure the help of a skilled and experienced civilian military attorney to advocate on their behalf and fight for their rights against the military sexual harassment accusations or charges against them. If charged already, have you met your detailed military attorney? Exactly How Much REAL Experience Does Your Defense Counsel Have?

You, as the accused, have the right to question your detailed JAG lawyer. For your own self-interest, inquire with your JAG lawyer about their overall experience level. This is not disrespectful – a civilian would do no less due-diligence in selecting their personal defense attorney for a minor civilian charge… You have a right to know! Ask your JAG lawyer about the results of their last dozen cases. Have they even had the opportunity to “try” a dozen cases in their career to date? Chances are good that you will get a vague response. Ask your JAG lawyer about their trial experience. Can they provide you a list of “wins?”

Under the Uniform Code of Military Justice, in most serious cases, you have the absolute right to be represented by a lawyer of your choosing, and even in NJP matters you are allowed advice, case preparation help and coaching assistance. If the JAG officer assigned your case cannot even share a handful of positive results from his or her last dozen cases, or if the outcomes were losing the majority or ALL of their cases, how do you think your case will turn out? You have the absolute right to retain a civilian military attorney to join or head your defense team.

Serious military criminal charges, such as sexual harassment, and other sexual offenses should not be detailed to young, inexperienced defense counsel who might have a couple of years’ experience at best.
