LEGAL DEFENSE FOR MILITARY CRIMES
EXPERIENCED REPRESENTATION WORLDWIDE
If you’re facing an arrest for a military crime, it’s critical to work with a military attorney who understands both the Uniform Code of Military Justice and the lifelong consequences a conviction can bring. At Joseph L. Jordan, Attorney at Law, we’ve defended service members worldwide against charges that threaten careers, reputations, and freedom. Without the guidance of an aggressive military defense attorney, you could be facing confinement, loss of rank, discharge, and long-term damage to your future.
The moment you're arrested or placed under investigation, your defense strategy starts. Contact Joseph L. Jordan immediately. As a former enlisted Soldier, Army officer, and JAG prosecutor, he brings real-world military experience to your case—and a history of courtroom victories. His legal team has successfully represented clients in court-martial proceedings, administrative separation boards, Article 15 actions, investigations, and general officer reprimands across all service branches and global bases.
Military Crimes We Defend
No matter where you’re stationed or what branch you serve in, we defend clients accused of serious violations under the UCMJ. Examples include:
-
Rape: Military rape is treated with zero tolerance under Article 120. Whether the accusation involves another service member or a civilian, you need an experienced defense attorney immediately. We defend against sex assault charges at every level of severity.
-
Aggravated Sexual Assault: Convictions for aggravated sexual assault often result in dishonorable discharge and up to 30 years of confinement. If you're under investigation for a violation involving force, coercion, or incapacitation, our team is ready to act—especially in cases involving sexual assault of a minor.
-
Larceny: Taking another person’s property without consent—even digitally or through deception—can result in a larceny conviction. These charges carry financial penalties, confinement, and discharge risk.
-
Drug Crimes: From marijuana and cocaine to prescription pills and controlled substances, drug crimes under Article 112a can jeopardize your entire military future. We defend enlisted and commissioned clients facing any type of drug offense.
-
Manslaughter and Attempted Murder: Article 119 manslaughter and Article 118 murder charges are among the most serious in military law. Whether the alleged act happened on duty or off base, you still face court-martial—and you need defense that starts before charges are even finalized.

He has defended Soldiers, Sailors, Marines, Airmen, and Coast Guardsmen in high-stakes cases around the world, and he delivers trial-ready strategy that pushes back against weak evidence, flawed investigations, and career-ending accusations.

The Consequences of Military Conviction
Being found guilty of a military offense doesn’t just mean jail time. A conviction under the UCMJ can trigger dishonorable discharge, loss of retirement and healthcare benefits, ineligibility for civilian government jobs, and in some cases, mandatory registration as a sex offender. Even an administrative punishment—such as a general discharge—can irreparably damage your career. If you value your future, your freedom, and your ability to rebuild after service, taking early legal action is non-negotiable.
What to Do If You’re Under Investigation
Don’t wait for formal charges to protect yourself. The moment you learn you’re under investigation, you should speak with a military defense attorney. What you say to investigators, superiors, or even peers can be used against you later. The earlier you get legal counsel, the more options you preserve. Joseph L. Jordan helps clients take control of their case before command builds momentum—because waiting is what the system wants.
