Military personal have to worry about two justice systems, as they can be charged with criminal offenses in both civilian court and military court. A conviction in either can have a significant impact upon a military career. At the Law Office of Jerrold M.

The military has its own justice system, its own judges, and its own rules for conducting trials. Our firm works from outside the system to protect your rights within the system. We are prepared to represent clients in general and special courts martial as well as advise clients regarding administrative discharges and captains masts. Often, a case starting as a general courts martial can be reduced to a special courts martial after an article 32 preliminary examination.

Mr. Bodow has tried a number of courts martial cases. Some leading to findings of “Not Guilty” others leading to findings and resulting punishments far less than the government’s best and last settlement offer. We have represented military personal serving throughout Southern California including Camp Pendleton, 32^nd Street Naval Base, Coronado, Miramar, Navy Region Southwest, North Island, and Spawar.
