Handling All Varieties of Charges in Military Courts-Martial

Any crime that is committed by a soldier on a military base is subject to criminal prosecution by a military court-martial. Crimes committed by military service members outside of a base are prosecuted in whichever civilian court has jurisdiction where the crime was committed.

At The Law Office of Christopher Patterson, P.A., we can handle Military Courts-Martial for crimes such as:

• Felonies and misdemeanors
• Conduct unbecoming of a soldier
• Assault and battery
• DUI
• Burglary and theft
• Manslaughter
• Homicide
• Capital murder

A soldier facing a military court-martial could end up with a sentence including prison time, heavy fines, a dishonorable discharge, dismissal from service or — in capital murder cases — death.
