Being charged with a crime in the military is a terrifying ordeal. Facing that crime alone while being thousands of miles from your home, your family, and your friends makes it worse. If you or a loved one is being accused of criminal offenses under the UCMJ anywhere in the world, then the first call you need to make is to an aggressive and experienced court martial lawyer.

The stakes couldn’t be higher.

Every moment you delay gives law enforcement and military prosecutors more time to discover incriminating evidence, interrogate witnesses, and pressure you into confessing to the charges you’re being accused of.

And it only gets worse as more time goes by.

• Few military defense attorneys have the resources and energy to take on cases around the United States or abroad to fight four your rights, let alone to properly investigate and prepare your case at a world-class level.

• Your free military lawyer that is supplied by the government, if you even have one yet, may be pushing you to plead guilty because of inexperience or fear of the government.

Worldwide Service Areas

 Regardless, of where you’re located, Liebenguth Law can help. We focus on taking those cases that others say can’t be won. Regardless of whether they are judicial (court martial) or non-judicial in nature (administrative), we fight for service members tooth and nail in order to get the best possible outcome—a NOT GUILTY verdict. Whether you’re in the Army, Navy, Marine Corps, Air Force, or Coast Guard, if you need an aggressive advocate to protect your rights for any reason, we can help.

Few can match our quality of experience. Mr. Liebenguth is a retired Marine Corps JAG, an experienced appellate military defense counsel, and a former prosecutor and Assistant U.S. Attorney. These qualifications are unlikely to be found in most other military defense attorneys.

You need a military defense attorney that will take cases that others don’t know how to win. You need a military defense attorney that can win cases others give up on.  You need a military defense attorney that won’t give up on you—and you shouldn’t give up on yourself. No matter how hopeless the government or others are saying your situation may be, you shouldn’t assume they’re right. 

Defending Military Service Members Around the World from UCMJ Charges

 Before retiring from active duty, Mr. Liebenguth was stationed at Marine Corps Base Hawaii, MCAS Cherry Point, MCB Camp Lejeune, MCB Quantico, and the Pentagon.  These locations and years of experience have allowed for a vast network of connections to commands, law enforcement, and military personnel to be created. The value of this cannot be overstated. We are a law firm that can withstand the giant stockpile of resources that military prosecutors have at their disposal. And we don’t blink when the government clamors on about how strong its case is. It’s usually a lot weaker then they claim, if you know what to look for.

We take cases not because they’re easy, but because they’re hard. Anyone can win an easy case. But when you’re accused of rape or sexual assault, a drug or other serious crime, or are facing adverse administration action that will destroy your military career, you need someone that can take down a Goliath.  Contact our law firm today to learn how we would investigate, prepare, and defend your case.
