Former Fort Jackson TDS Counsel
Fort Jackson Military Defense Lawyer
Blake Kamoroff served four years in Trial Defense Service assignments responsible for Fort Jackson—first as the installation’s primary defense attorney and later as Senior Defense Counsel. He now represents Soldiers and Officers facing GOMORs, Article 15s, investigations, boards, and other career-threatening military actions.
The direct answer
Military defense informed by years inside the Fort Jackson community.
Mr. Kamoroff’s connection to Fort Jackson is personal and professional. He grew up near the installation, spent four years in Fort Jackson TDS assignments, supervised its military-defense team, held his Army retirement ceremony there, lived just outside one of its gates, and continued representing Fort Jackson servicemembers after entering private practice.
Personal Fort Jackson experience
A Fort Jackson connection built over decades.
Mr. Kamoroff grew up near Fort Jackson. A close family member—a retired colonel whose last assignment was at Fort Jackson—gave him an early, positive example of what military service could contribute to others and to a person’s own growth.
- Fort Jackson Trial Defense Service attorneyFor two years as a captain, he was the primary defense attorney for Fort Jackson actions, including courts-martial, GOMORs, Article 15s, separation boards, and investigations. He also managed the system for counseling the high volume of trainees who sought legal help each week.
- Installation-wide defense workHe represented permanent-party Soldiers and Officers, commanders, drill sergeants, trainees, and student-detachment personnel. His work regularly took him across the 193rd Infantry Brigade, 165th Infantry Brigade, 120th Adjutant General Battalion (Reception), and other Fort Jackson organizations.
- Senior Defense CounselHe returned as the Senior Defense Counsel responsible for Fort Jackson and Fort Gordon. During a period of staffing shortages, he again performed substantially all Fort Jackson defense work before supervising the TDS captains and paralegals serving the area.
- Retirement and civilian practiceHe was promoted to Major during that assignment, held his Army retirement ceremony at Fort Jackson, lived just outside a Fort Jackson gate, and continued serving Fort Jackson clients after opening his civilian military-law practice.
A documented history of defense
Putting military defense in front of the Fort Jackson community.
These photographs reflect two chapters of that relationship: pride in the Fort Jackson TDS mission while serving in uniform, and early outreach after Mr. Kamoroff opened the civilian practice that became UCMJ.Law.
Current installation context: the Army’s Fort Jackson directory identifies the 193rd Infantry Brigade, 165th Infantry Brigade, and 120th Adjutant General Battalion (Reception) among the installation’s organizations.
Why that background matters
Fort Jackson cases do not arise in a generic Army environment.
Fort Jackson combines high-volume initial-entry training, permanent-party leadership, school and student populations, and command structures that can move quickly when allegations arise. An attorney who has worked inside that environment can better understand how a trainee matter differs from a cadre case, how an administrative record can expand into separation or elimination risk, and how early statements may affect later proceedings.
Past service does not guarantee a result and does not create special influence. It provides context for evaluating the evidence, the command process, the audience for the response, and the career consequences that may follow.
Current matters may include
- GOMOR and LOR rebuttals
- Article 15 acceptance and response decisions
- AR 15-6 and command investigations
- CID and law-enforcement investigations
- Separation and officer-elimination risk
- Referred evaluations and relief-for-cause actions
- Article 138 complaints and related administrative remedies
