In the military, a domestic violence conviction will almost certainly result in separation. If you are convicted, your career in the military is over. While it is possible to maintain the separation as non-dishonorable — allowing you to keep your pension and benefits — the best result would be to avoid conviction.
The Carlson Law Firm stands ready to protect your rights and defend your career of service. Our team of lawyers includes former JAG officers who can capably guide and represent you in both the civilian and military aspects of a domestic violence case.
We have obtained deferred adjudication and pretrial diversion for clients in order to avoid a conviction that would trigger automatic separation from the military.
