You do not get warnings in military cases, you get read your rights. And by the time command starts asking questions, they are not asking out of curiosity. Whether it is a military crime involving drugs, sexual misconduct, assault, or worse, the weight of that charge can crush your career fast. Jordan defends service members who find themselves under investigation, sometimes before they even know what the accusation really is. That is when defense begins, not after it is too late.

Article 120 charges can undo a career faster than any other offense in the military justice system. Once the accusation surfaces, whether it is a barracks rumor or a formal report, command response is often immediate and unforgiving. Jordan has defended service members accused of a wide range of Article 120 allegations, including sexual assault of a minor. These cases are volatile. He does not just challenge the evidence, he makes the government prove every detail, because in cases like this, assumptions come first and facts arrive late.

Murder and manslaughter charges under Article 118 and Article 119 of the UCMJ carry not only the harshest penalties in military law, but also the most complex legal dynamics. These are not cases for a generalist or an inexperienced counsel. Joseph L. Jordan, Attorney at Law, brings years of UCMJ-specific trial experience to the table. As a former JAG prosecutor turned defense attorney, he knows how to scrutinize the government’s case and build a strong, fact-driven strategy on your behalf before trial even begins.

Article 112a drug crimes do not always come in the form of obvious violations. Sometimes it is a positive urinalysis after taking something off-base. Sometimes it is pills a friend handed over, no prescription, no questions. But the outcome is the same as the worst-case scenario: confinement, loss of rank, even an other-than-honorable discharge. These charges hit fast and leave a mark. Joseph Jordan does not just fight the evidence, he questions how it was gathered, who handled it, and whether your command moved too fast. Drug crimes under 112a are not about what is fair. They are about what is proven, and he makes sure proof is the only thing that counts.
