DonMichael Barbour is a Senior Associate in Tully Rinckey PLLC’s Austin office, where he primarily practices Military Law.. DonMichael graduated early from high school in 1995, in order to enlist in the U.S. Army at 17 years old. He served on active duty a field artillery soldier for three years. After completing his enlistment, DonMichael then transitioned to a Reserve unit while he attended college at St. Mary’s University, where he was appointed as a cadet into the ROTC. After graduating from St. Mary’s with a bachelor’s degree in business, DonMichael was presented a commission into the U.S. Army JAG Corps in 2003, and attended Thurgood Marshall School of Law, graduating summa cum laude.. He also served for two years as a clerk to Judge Jennifer Walker Elrod, who is now on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 5th Circuit. In 2006, he began his service as an officer in the JAG Corps.. Serving as a military attorney on active duty for nine years, DonMichael gained extensive litigation experience, leading hundreds of thorough investigations and successfully defending against the highest charges, including capital murders, espionage, and sexual assaults. DonMichael himself, as well as the teams of legal professionals he led, consistently provided excellent representation, timely and accurate legal advice, and outstanding results to soldiers and military leaders. His career spanned all aspects of military law, including military trial prosecution, criminal defense, operational law, administrative law, and investigations into commanders and staff. For his time in service to the U.S. Army, DonMichael earned numerous honors, including being awarded the Army Meritorious Service Medal.. Upon retiring from the U.S. Army, DonMichael served for three years as an Assistant District Attorney for Dallas County, prosecuting criminal offenses and overseeing ten local courts. DonMichael sorely missed serving military members, and so he chose to pivot and dedicate his career to non-profit work, providing pro bono and reduced-fee legal assistance to active-duty military members, veterans, and their families. His areas of practice included criminal defense in courts-martial and state level offenses, applications for discharge review, VA claims and disability assistance, and family law and CPS cases. DonMichael’s experience and desire to help service members eventually led him to create a non-profit called the Veterans Legal Foundation, in Dallas, Texas, providing representation to qualifying veterans and their family members.

Joshua Tolin is an experienced military trial attorney at Veritas Military Law, who also serves in the Air Force Reserve as a Major (O-4) and Individual Mobilization Augmentee. As an active-duty Air Force JAG for more than 10 years, Joshua spent his entire active-duty career in military justice: first prosecuting at the United States Air Force Academy, CO, as a junior prosecutor, then as an Area Defense Counsel at Ellsworth AFB, SD. Joshua was then selected to continue defending Airmen, but this time during a one-year remote assignment, helping Airmen deployed throughout the CENTCOM AOR and the Horn of Africa. From there, Joshua was hand-picked to serve as a senior prosecutor by the now-retired Chief District Military Judge of Districts 3 and 4. While serving as a senior prosecutor, he joined the elite status of Special Victims Unit-Circuit Trial Counsel and was certified by TJAG in the first cadre of Special Trial Counsel. Joshua then returned to the military defense community as a Senior Defense Counsel, where for his last 2.5 years on active duty, he has represented Airmen, Guardians, and a retired soldier facing (felony-level) general courts-martial and senior officers facing investigations and other adverse actions. While no defense counsel can guarantee certain results, in his role as Senior Defense Counsel in the Air Force, Joshua personally succeeded in securing no conviction for 95% of the crimes charged against his clients (including litigated not guilty verdicts, dismissals, and client-requested adverse action in lieu of court-martial).

Having served his country honorably at the largest military installation in the world in Fort Hood, Texas as a Judge Advocate from 2009 until 2013, Sean is an aggressive and tenacious advocate for all service members facing legal issues.

As a Judge Advocate, Sean led the effort in 2010 as Acting Chief of Fort Hood Client Services to have the Commanding General of III Corps blacklist a notoriously corrupt landlord-tenant company that was infamous for ripping off active duty soldiers.. In addition to his military attorney experience, Sean has an extensive background as a civilian attorney. He traveled the entire state of Texas – from Dallas to San Antonio, up to Amarillo and out to Midland, and everywhere in between – representing homeowners, business owners, churches and insurance policyholders on a wide variety of legal matters. Sean fought relentlessly on these contingency cases and reported directly to the Head of Litigation for the nation’s premier first party insurance litigation boutique law firm as a litigation docket associate. While traveling Texas and the United States representing his clients, Sean frequently volunteered his time to represent disabled veterans on a pro-bono basis throughout the Houston area. Prior to becoming an attorney, Sean deployed as a combat arms Artilleryman to Bosnia in 1999 as a member of Operation Joint Forge.
