As a military spouse, I am passionate about helping service members and experienced in a wide array of administrative law issues challenging the action of various agencies at the agency level and in federal court, including courts of appeal. Working for a cloud-based law firm, I enjoy the flexibility of taking on a limited number of cases, which allows me to fully devote adequate attention to each client, while keeping my rates reasonable.. Despite the D.C. office address, I live in Southern California near Camp Pendleton. When not working on legal issues, I also teach SUP Yoga and am kept busy with my full time job of being a Mom to two rambunctious little boys!

I aggressively defend service members in the Air Force, Army, Navy, Marine Corps and Coast Guard worldwide and have been involved in some of the most notable American courts-martial and military cases. I fight for you in military trials throughout the United States, Europe, the Pacific, Africa and the Middle East.. I have practiced as a prosecutor, as a Division Chief of Military Justice, as a military defense attorney and then I was handpicked to train and advise Army defense lawyers worldwide for the U.S. Army Defense Counsel Assistance Program. During my time on active duty, I tried or consulted on the most well-known cases in military, some with worldwide recognition. I have defended people accused of premeditated murder, rape, child rape, espionage, sexual assault, fraud, aggravated assault and other serious crimes, often receiving full acquittals or an acquittal on all of the serious charges. I have taught CLE (Continuing Legal Education) classes on courtroom skills to hundreds of lawyers across the United States and even in Germany and South Korea. My primary hobbies are running marathons and ultra marathons, playing and watching football and basketball, and reading up on the latest developments in criminal law and trial advocacy.

Worldwide Military Representation , Washington , District of Columbia 20005
Practice Areas: Military Law
I am a former active duty military JAG attorney. I spent the majority of my active duty JAG career as a military defense counsel. When I was a JAG, I served first as a base level military prosecutor, and then was selected to serve as a base level military defense counsel and then as a regional military defense counsel.. I have been handling military cases, on and off active duty, continuously since 1995. As a civilian court-martial defense attorney and military defense lawyer, I exclusively handle military cases because I care so deeply about representing and defending those who serve in the military and defend all of us. I handle all types of military cases involving disciplinary and adverse actions, including court-martial defense, defense against administrative boards such as administrative discharge/separation boards, FEBs, MEB/PEBs, Discharge Review Board, Board of Corrections for Military Records, etc. I represent military clients facing military discipline, adverse administrative actions, appeals and investigations. I offer free initial case consultations.
