If you are a military member facing a demotion or promotion denial action, 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.

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. This includes promotion denial or demotion actions. Our civilian military lawyers handle these administrative cases.

In response to alleged misconduct or substandard performance, the military can take adverse actions against a military member’s current or future rank and promotions. This includes administrative demotion actions (reducing an enlisted member in rank) or promotion removals and denials.

These military adverse actions can significantly impact a military member’s career and future assignments, and could even lead to administrative discharge/separation, particularly in this time of military drawdowns. Because of this, having an experienced and proactive civilian defense attorney advocating for you in these military cases. A skilled military discharge lawyer can make a significant difference in protecting your career and future assignments.

Attorney Richard V. Stevens defends military members facing administrative demotion, promotion removal, and promotion denial actions. This includes written responses to the actions and appeals to have these actions reversed – which may involve appeals to the service branch Board for Correction of Military Records (BCMR). As a seasoned military defense lawyer, he passionately defends military members stationed worldwide, providing expert representation in military trials, disciplinary actions, appeals, adverse actions, board hearings, and investigations.
