Mr. Whitaker enlisted and entered active duty with the U.S. Navy in 1995 and was commissioned in the Navy JAG Corps in May 2004.  He continues to serve in the Navy JAG Corps Reserves where his duties have included defending service members at Administrative Separation Boards (ADSEP Boards) and serving as an instructor at the Naval Justice School teaching newly commissioned JAGs how to properly litigate ADSEP Boards and other military legal issues.. Unlike most attorneys, Mr. Whitaker limits his military practice exclusively to ADSEP Boards, Boards Of Inquiry (BOI), Board of Correction for Naval Records (BCNR) and Board of Correction for Military Records (BCMR), including discharge upgrades. Throughout his 17 years of military experience, Mr. Whitaker has seen first hand how many outstanding men and women are wrongfully pursued through administrative channels in the military. Unfortunately, this is often because someone in his or her chain-of-command simply has an axe to grind or a point to prove. That is why many servicemembers need the dedicated, experienced and aggressive representation of a civilian attorney like Mr. Whitaker. Mr. Whitaker has obtained incredibly successful results including findings of no misconduct and recommnedations for retention even where the service member has been charged with serious misconduct such as theft of classified information, involuntary manslaughter, drug use, assault and many others. Please call Mr. Whitaker for more information regarding his experience or to schedule a free consultation.
