We offer a free initial consultation about your rights as a defendant.

J. Dennis Murphy Jr. is a criminal defense lawyer with more than 25 years of experience prosecuting and defending people charged with military offenses.

He also served for two years on the legal staff for the Superintendent of the Naval Academy in Annapolis.

ARMY ∙ NAVY ∙ AIR FORCE ∙ MARINES

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, our firm would not have any duty to the military. Our only duty would be to you as our client.
