Military Performance Report and Fitness Report Rebuttals and Appeals – Military Defense Lawyer

Officer And Enlisted Performance Reports And Fitness Reports Are Critical To A Military Member’s Career Progression, Future Assignments And Retention In The Military

If you are a military member facing a negative performance report or fitness report, you need a strong military defense lawyer as your advocate. Attorney Richard V. Stevens is a civilian court-martial defense lawyer and military defense lawyer. He began handling military cases in 1995 and he has been handling military cases for over 30 years. This has included numerous military performance report and fitness report rebuttals and appeals. Attorney Stevens, and the military defense law firm he founded, are here to provide you with the zealous representation you are seeking to protect you from the potential consequences of a negative military performance report or fitness report.

While general court-martial (and sometimes special court-martial) successes may result in more public recognition, there are many other military adverse actions that can have a dramatic impact on a military member’s career, future, and family. Our civilian defense attorneys also handle these cases. Such cases include performance report rebuttals and appeals.

Because performance reports, fitness reports and evaluations are critical to a military member’s career, having an experienced and aggressive defense attorney on your side could be absolutely vital in disputing and appealing a negative or inaccurate performance report. This includes referred or referral reports. In the different service branches, these reports are referred to as:

• Officer Performance Reports (OPRs) and Officer Performance Briefs (OPBs) – Air Force
• Enlisted Performance Reports (EPRs) and Enlisted Performance Briefs (EPBs) – Air Force
• Officer Evaluation Reports (OERs) – Army
• NonCommissioned Officer Evaluation Reports (NCOERs) – Army
• Navy Evals and FITREPs
• Marine Corps (USMC) Performance Evaluation System and Fitness Reports
• Coast Guard Performance Reviews and Evaluations

Each service branch (Army Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps, Coast Guard, and Space Force) has their own regulations addressing performance report appeals, from the local level all the way through various administrative boards – such as the Army DASEB, the Air Force ERAB, and/or the service branch Board for Correction of Military Records (BCMR).

Mr. Stevens is a civilian criminal defense attorney and former active duty military JAG lawyer who exclusively practices military law and defends military members stationed around the world who are facing military trials, disciplinary actions, appeals, adverse actions, board hearings, and investigations. If you’ve received a military performance report that you disagree with, and you want to rebut or appeal it, please don’t hesitate to seek the legal help you’re going to need.

No attorney can guarantee the outcome you seek in your military case. What we can promise is that we will apply our decades of experience to the defense of your military case. This includes our extensive experience in military law, military regulations, military investigations, military disciplinary actions, military adverse actions, and/or military court-martial trials and cases.
