Virginia Beach Military Attorney Defending Clients in Courts-Martial Trials
If you are facing a general or special courts-martial proceeding, not only is your freedom on the line but so is your criminal record, your reputation, your career and your military retirement benefits. It is imperative you find experienced legal counsel that is familiar with the process and will keep all of these issues in mind, so you know they are defending you to the fullest in every respect.
Throughout Virginia and the rest of the United States, people seek out attorney Monica L. Lombardi because of her in depth knowledge of military administrative proceedings and because of her passion when it comes to advocating on behalf of our country's armed forces. Her own military experience helps her connect with her clients, and her strong commitment to the pursuit of justice moves her to aggressively pursue her clients' cases and has led to many positive outcomes.
Having qualified counsel at a courts-martial proceeding is crucial. Hire someone with experience who understands what is at stake. We offer free initial phone consultations, and Monica Lombardi is available to meet in our Virginia Beach office or at another more convenient location. To schedule an appointment with an experienced and professional lawyer, please call 1-888-826-5529 or contact us online today.
Extensive Experience with Every Type of Courts-Martial Trial
Our office handles special courts martial proceedings for military personnel charged with any crimes including:
- Drug charges
- AWOL
- Larceny
- Fraud
- Assault
We also handle general courts-martial defense for every type of offense, such as:
- Office misconduct
- Computer sex crimes
- Rape
Whether you are facing a reduction in rank or confinement of up to a year for a special court martial or dishonorable discharge resulting from a general courts-martial in front of a jury of fellow military personnel, we are here to help you by providing a strong and thorough defense.
A courts-martial trial is a criminal prosecution. The equivalent of the federal rules of evidence applies, and this requires the same level of investigation and legal procedural knowledge as a civilian federal criminal case. Monica Lombardi has defended hundreds of military personnel and has been representing members of the military for over 20 years in courts-martial proceedings.
Our firm is familiar when it comes to dissecting every piece of evidence when it comes to questioning its strength and validity. Monica Lombardi believes in comprehensive case construction, and she can anticipate the prosecutor's strategy, because she was also formerly a military prosecutor during her time in active service. She is now also certified as a trial and defense in the U.S. military courts.
Unlike a free military defense attorney that you will be offered as counsel for your case, Monica Lombardi has extensive experience and as a civilian attorney she will be loyal to you without any influence from commanding officers, superiors or anyone else in the chain of command.
We know what is at stake. If you are a career officer, your career is at stake as well as potentially millions of dollar in retirement pay that you will forfeit if you are convicted or accept a guilty plea. If you are convicted in a general courts-martial trial, you will also lose your right to vote and your ability to carry a fire-arm. More importantly, any conviction will severely damage your reputation, and your record cannot be expunged unless the court of appeals overturns it.
If you have been charged and are set to appear in a courts-martial trial, we encourage you to contact our firm to speak with our knowledgeable staff and attorney about your options and our experience. To read more about a current courts-martial case we are involved in, please click here.
