Special Court-Martial
A Special Court-Martial (SpCM) conviction can result in up to one year in military prison, fines, reductions in rank (for enlisted only), and a Bad Conduct Discharge. A SpCM conviction is a federal conviction that will appear on your criminal record indefinitely. Facing charges at a SpCM is a very serious matter.
If you have reason to believe that you may be facing charges at a SpCM, you deserve an experienced and aggressive criminal defense attorney. The possibility of confinement is very real, and military prison is no place to be. In addition, if you receive a Bad Conduct Discharge, you will face serious hurdles in finding employment.
If you are facing charges in a SpCM, contact the Law Office of Shawn M. Cline without delay. If you already have a JAG defense attorney assigned to your case, you can hire a civilian defense attorney while keeping your free military lawyer on your case. Essentially, you can have two attorneys for the price of one. The stakes in a SpCM are high. You deserve an aggressive criminal defense attorney with vast experience handling military cases.
