Welcome to the Law
Offices of Philip D. Cave
Practice Limited to Military and Security
Clearance Law
Now working on my 31st year of military
law practice |
|
|
We consult with and represent
military personnel and the family on military law and related legal
problems. We
limit our practice to military justice matters so that we can
be focused and
current on your issues. You will get zealous representation. We
work with the military defense lawyer to form a team defense. Some of the specific areas in which we can help are
listed
below. We believe that the
client and the client's family deserve to be treated with courtesy
and respect; really do have the right to be fully informed; and
should participate in the decision making process. Scroll down to see
the services we provide.

SERVICES WE PROVIDE OR ISSUES WE DEAL WITH:
 Under
Investigation - NCIS, OSI, CID, CGCIS,
IG, BOI, AR 15-6, JAGMAN, DCIS, DSS? (Your
Rights!) If you are being investigated, as civilian military law
attorney's we can assist you before a military lawyer is even
assigned to your case. Service regulations limit the circumstances
in which military lawyers can help prior to formal charges --- by then
it is often too late. Don't wait for your court-martial notice,
contact seasoned military lawyers now.
Case Evaluation.
Do you need a case evaluation -- a second opinion? Contact us for a
second opinion on what's happening in your case. Sometimes a
consultation is all you or your family need. As civilian military
law attorney's we have the depth of experience, training, and knowledge to
critically analyze and educate you on the merits of your ucmj case,
possible defenses, mitigation, and strategies.
Court-Martial or Adverse Action
- Being prosecuted under the UCMJ? We work with your military lawyer
to ensure the best defense possible at court-martial (court marshal).
Security
Clearance
- Lost it, losing it, need to get it, appealing an adverse action? Failure to keep or to get a
security clearance can limit your employability. Do you need help
filling out the SF86, or responding to a letter or intent or statement of
reasons. A security clearance lawyer can be your best asset. If you
lose a security clearance you will likely lose your job, or be denied
employment.
AWOL/UA/Deserter?
If you or a family member are currently in this "status," call/email for
information on the best way to resolve matters.
Adverse
Administrative Actions Under the UCMJ - NJP/Article 15; adverse OER;
denial/ revocation of promotion, security clearance, Medical Provider
credentials; removal from a special status or position? Do you need to
submit a rebuttal? Add experienced counsel to that of your military
defense lawyer.
Disenrollment or similar adverse actions with
membership in the ROTC program.
Post-conviction/Appeals
of Convictions Under the UCMJ
- Assistance with the post-trial clemency or Clemency & Parole Board?
Our lawyers work with your military lawyer to ensure an effective appeal.
Appealing your conviction? Court of Criminal Appeals (CCA), Court of
Appeals for the Armed Forces? Judge Advocate General (convicted, but
didn't get a BCD/DD/1yr)?
Discharge-
enlisted person being processed for administrative discharge/elimination/officer being required to "show cause" and facing a BOI/DFR?
Our lawyers work with your military defense lawyer to ensure the best defense
possible.
