Administrative Separation Boards/Show Cause Boards

If you are facing an administrative separation or show cause board, then you need the hardest hitting representation possible. At a board, military personnel face:

1) Losing their career;
2) Losing hundreds of thousands of dollars in hard earned retirement pay and benefits;
3) An Other Than Honorable (OTH) discharge, hurting their ability to find a job and support their family; and
4) Losing their reputation and pride.

Our attorneys drive a hard bargain and fight to win the best possible outcome for our clients. Our results speak for themselves. Below are cases that we contested in front of boards. In hundreds of other cases we have negotiated deals that have secured favorable discharges, retention, and retirement, thereby avoiding a board all together.

Note: These are examples of real case results. All cases are different. A success in one case does not guarantee success in another similar case. We do not guarantee a certain final outcome, to do so violates the Rules of Professional Responsibility.

Won a General, Under Honorable Conditions Discharge, rather than Other than Honorable (OTH) at the board. Soldier was able to re-join the Army and will likely retire.
