Sexual misconduct allegations
Military Sexual Assault Defense Lawyer
Sexual misconduct allegations can become CID/OSI/NCIS investigations, protective orders, relief, GOMORs, Article 15/NJP, separation, elimination, or court-martial proceedings.
Sexual misconduct allegations
Early-stage risk
The investigation stage can define the case before formal charges exist.
No unprepared statements
Do not try to explain complex allegations to investigators without legal advice.
Digital evidence
Texts, apps, photos, location data, and social media may become central evidence.
Administrative consequences
Even without charges, command may take adverse administrative action.
Escalation awareness
A defense strategy should account for both administrative action and possible court-martial risk.
What a lawyer actually does
The work is evidence, judgment, organization, and timing.
Civilian counsel should help identify the immediate deadline, analyze the evidence, decide what should not be said, gather favorable documents and witnesses, and present the strongest available response in the correct military format.
Stop avoidable damage
Avoid unprepared statements, unnecessary admissions, consent searches, or rushed submissions.
Build the record
Organize documents, witnesses, timelines, text messages, evaluations, awards, and context.
Target the decision-maker
Write for the commander, filing authority, board, or reviewing authority who will decide the next step.
Questions servicemembers ask
Frequently asked questions
Should I talk to investigators if I am innocent?
Do not make an unprepared statement. Innocent people can still create damaging evidence through incomplete or misunderstood explanations.
Can accusations lead to administrative action without charges?
Yes. Command may use investigative information for GOMORs, relief, evaluations, separation, or elimination.
What should I do first?
Invoke rights, preserve relevant information, avoid contacting witnesses or the accuser, and get legal advice quickly.

Talk through the risk before you respond.
Include your rank, duty station, deadline, the type of action you received, and whether investigators or command have asked you for a statement.
Review before you respond
Need focused legal judgment before deciding what to do next?
An Urgent Military Case Assessment is a paid limited-scope review for Soldiers, NCOs, and Officers who already have paperwork, evidence, or a short suspense and need a practical assessment of risks, options, and recommended next steps.
More than a consultation. Less than full representation.
The assessment does not include drafting, command contact, law-enforcement contact, negotiation, appearance, submission of materials, or follow-on representation unless separately agreed in writing.

Do not treat a GOMOR or Article 15 like routine paperwork.
A weak response can follow you for years. The earlier you get focused help, the more time there is to analyze the evidence, develop the facts, and present the strongest possible rebuttal or response.
