Courts-Martial Appeals
Why You Need a Military Criminal Defense Lawyer
When military personnel are convicted in any type of court-martial, they
may feel their conviction was unjust and wish to appeal the decision.
A Court-Martial Appeal, or a request for clemency, is allowed by submitting
their case to the convening authority, which is normally the officer who
had the court-martial initially. The case may then be submitted for review
to the Court of Criminal Appeals for each branch of the military convened
(Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines or Coast Guard).
The Appeals Court will review the issues regarding the facts and the law
as it pertains to that particular case for any legal errors or incorrect
sentencing. A further appeal can be submitted to the Court of Appeals
for the Armed Forces; however, only certain cases are accepted for review.
If you have been unjustly convicted in a court-martial and wish to appeal
your case... Your court-appointed attorney may not only be generally inexperienced
but also have little to no experience in an appeals setting.You also have
the right to retain the services of a civilian
military criminal defense attorney for your appeal. It is best not to count on the appellate process without
having a strong and aggressive defense attorney by your side. Your court-appointed
military attorney may be inexperienced and have little to no experience
in an appeals setting.
