We represent clients in all branches of service facing an article 32 hearing, courts-martial proceedings, courts-martial appeals, military administrative separation hearings, non-judicial punishment (Article 32), discharge review boards, and more.

SCRA and USERRA
Do you know all of your rights as a member of the military, whether you are on active duty, in the reserves or the national guard. We can help service members ensure that their rights are protected, including those who are returning from active duty and need help getting their old jobs back under the Uniformed Service Employment and Re-Employment Rights Act (USERRA), as well as those who need the protections offered under the Servicemember Civil Relief Act (SCRA).

Military Law Experience - Divorce - Child Custody - Child Support Modification 
In addition, when members of the military face divorce or modification proceedings for child custody and child support, there are some different legal issues and real life concerns that come in to play. If you're facing a divorce and either you or your spouse is a military member, hiring an attorney who isn't familiar with military issues will put you at a disadvantage. Attorney Joseph DeWoskin has testified as an expert regarding survivor benefit plans (SBP) and military retirement plans.
