Welcome to the Law
Offices of Philip D. Cave
Practice Limited to Military and Security
Clearance Law
|
|
|
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.
 Notification under Vienna Convention
It’s been a while since this issue has
come up, and it does come up every now and again in military cases – DoD
has approximately 50,000 foreign nationals on active duty.
