If you are facing a court-martial for domestic violence, you’re up against tough opposition.

It is critical to have a military defense attorney who understands the law and is ready to defend your case aggressively, especially if you need to appeal a domestic violence conviction. If you’re under investigation for Article 128b domestic violence or have been charged, reach out today for expert legal assistance.

The Serious Consequences of False Domestic Violence Allegations Under Article 128b

A false Article 128b domestic violence charge can have devastating consequences. If convicted, you could face:

• Punitive discharge, severely impacting your military career and employment prospects
• Loss of veterans’ benefits, especially if discharged under less-than-honorable conditions
• Ineligibility to purchase firearms, affecting both your personal and professional life
• Family and child custody issues, as a conviction may influence legal proceedings

It’s important to act quickly to protect your future and defend yourself against these serious allegations.

Understanding Article 128b Domestic Violence Charges

Under Article 128b, domestic violence charges can arise if a military member:

• Commits a violent act against a spouse, intimate partner, or immediate family member
• Threatens or intimidates a family member through violent actions against a person, property, or animal
• Violates a protection order with the intent to threaten or commit a violent act
• Strangles or suffocates a spouse, intimate partner, or immediate family member

If convicted, the court-martial will determine the punishment, which can range from incarceration to a punitive discharge, depending on the severity of the offense.

Appealing a Military Domestic Violence Conviction

If you’ve been convicted under Article 128b, a strong appeal strategy is crucial for challenging the prosecution’s case. With the help of an experienced military defense lawyer, you can assess:

• Defenses to your conviction and possible grounds for appeal
• Weaknesses in the prosecution’s case
• The maximum punishment under UCMJ guidelines and possible reductions

A successful appeal can potentially reverse your conviction or lead to a reduction in penalties, providing a chance to move forward with your life.

Why You Need an Experienced Military Defense Attorney

Domestic violence cases in the military are under intense scrutiny. Due to political pressure and stronger prosecution efforts, it’s vital to have a highly experienced court-martial defense attorney by your side. Recent changes to Article 32 UCMJ have reduced pretrial rights, making it more difficult to challenge evidence before trial. This makes it even more important to have skilled legal representation.

If you’ve been falsely accused of domestic violence under Article 128b or need to appeal a conviction, don’t delay. Contact an experienced military defense lawyer today to protect your rights and your future.
