Military Courts-Martial

Annapolis, Maryland, Military Law Attorney

Anyone accused of a crime in the military is automatically assigned a military lawyer. However, you also have the right to hire a civilian lawyer. If you face a special or general military court martial, call me at 410-777-8723 for a free initial consultation about your rights as a defendant.

I am J. Dennis Murphy, Jr., a criminal defense lawyer with more than 20 years of experience prosecuting and defending people charged with military offenses. Before entering private practice, I was a member of the Navy Judge Advocate General (JAG) Corps, prosecuting and defending military personnel charged with court martial offenses. I also served for two years on the legal staff for the Superintendent of the Naval Academy in Annapolis.

JAG lawyers who are assigned to defend military personnel often do not have extensive courtroom experience. If you hire an experienced civilian lawyer, you can have the benefit of two attorneys working on your behalf: your military counsel and your civilian counsel. As your civilian attorney, I would not have any duty to the military. My only duty would be to you as my client.

I can handle special and general court martial cases in U.S. military courts around the world. I frequently represent military personnel before military tribunals in San Diego, California; Norfolk, Virginia; Washington, DC; Denver, Colorado; and Annapolis, Maryland. Some of the military bases where I have handled military criminal cases include Camp Pendleton, Fort Meade, Andrews Air Force Base, and the naval air stations in San Diego and Norfolk.

Free consultation: Contact Annapolis, Maryland, criminal defense attorney J. Dennis Murphy, Jr., for a free evaluation of your military court martial case.
