UNDERSTANDING THE MILITARY SYSTEM OF JUSTICE
Your JAG Attorney can defend cases in military court . In effect, the UCMJ is a complete and comprehensive set of criminal laws that apply to active-duty, National Guard, Reserve, and military academy members of all branches of the United States Armed Forces.
Notably, the UCMJ punishes most offenses that are criminalized under civilian law, including matters like drunk driving, drug possession and distribution, larceny, fraud, assault & battery, sexual assault, and homicide. This is so because the UCMJ also punishes a wide range of other conduct (misconduct) that is deemed to adversely impact the good order and discipline in the military.
The Judge Advocate General's Corps (JAG) are attorneys who are responsible for practicing military law. A JAG lawyer can defend cases in military courts, including things like proceedings before military administrative separation boards and courts- martial. However, those facing these types of proceedings are entitled to hire private counsel of their own choice. Your JAG Attorney has the military and civilian practice experience you need to be properly represented.

MILITARY ADMINISTRATIVE SEPARATION BOARDS:

Generally, these matters will go before a military administrative separation board. A person facing separation from the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, or Coast Guard has a right to know the factual allegations against them and to respond to the matter. Most importantly, they also have the right to be represented by a Military Law attorney during their hearing. Your JAG Attorney will help you navigate these serious proceedings.

MADELIN B.
I needed legal council following an unfortunate series of events. I reached out to a firm who assigned a lawyer to my case how ever the assigned lawyer was horrible and actually didn’t help in anyway. So I sought new council, and this is when I found Jesus Gonzalez. From the beginning I knew he was different, I knew he would deliver and really fight for my freedom. Jesus showed honesty, professionalism, and was extremely knowledgeable regarding my case and the law and I knew I was being represented by the right council. He is responsive, hard working and a great communicator. I highly recommend Jesus R. Gonzalez because he is the best man’s for the job. I would give him 10 stars if that were an option. Thank you Jesus, I appreciate you.
