Dedicated Virginia Military Lawyer Represents Men and Women in Uniform
Skillful advocate handles UCMJ matters, benefits and record revisions for current and former service members
Serving in the U.S. Armed Forces means that you're governed by a specific set of rules that don't apply to civilians. If you're accused of misconduct, require assistance with a benefit claim or seek to upgrade your discharge, The O'Brien Law Firm in Hampton has a thorough understanding of military law. I am an experienced military law attorney who is familiar with court-martial proceedings, benefits matters and the standards that govern disciplinary actions and will provide the knowledgeable advice and strong advocacy you deserve.
Accomplished firm advises service members on a wide range of issues
From my office in Virginia, I am eligible to represent service members on bases throughout the United States and even those stationed overseas. My firm values the sacrifice made by military personnel and their families and provides the highest levels of professionalism and service in matters that can include:
- Court-martial actions — In jury and court trials based on alleged violations of the Uniform Code of Military Justice, I provide knowledgeable counsel and vigorous defense to help service members avoid unwarranted punishment.
- TRICARE and other active-duty benefits — Americans serving in the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines and Coast Guard should not have to struggle to obtain the pay and benefits they've earned. If a problem arises regarding funding for medical treatment, compensation or other benefits you're entitled to, my firm can advise you regarding the pertinent rules and administrative procedures.
- Discharge upgrades and record revision — A vindictive officer or misunderstood incident could result in unfair discipline, a loss in rank or even a less-than-honorable discharge that prevents you from obtaining full veterans benefits. Whatever circumstances exist, I will evaluate your situation to determine if a discharge upgrade or a change in the records is possible.
- Veterans compensation and benefits — My firm also assists veterans and their loved ones who seek VA healthcare treatment, student loan reimbursement, compensation for military-related medical conditions and other benefits designed to pay veterans back for what they have done for the country.
Dealing with military law concerns can be confusing and intimidating, but I'll give you the information and effective counsel you need to assert your rights effectively.
Dedicated attorney assists with military divorce and family matters
Any divorce is difficult, but military personnel often face particular challenges when ending their marriages. Frequent moves could create a question about the applicable law and if a service member is stationed away from home, the marriage dissolution process can be complicated. I represent active-duty personnel and their spouses in military divorce actions and advocate for a fair result, which can include a benefit award under the Uniformed Services Former Spouses' Protection Act.
