Military Defense
At Ferrara Law APC, we combine aggressive criminal defense strategies with deep military justice expertise to protect those who wear the uniform. Led by a Marine Corps veteran, our trial firm brings relentless discipline, tactical precision, and a dedicated mindset directly into the courtroom. We understand both civilian criminal statutes and the complexities of the Uniform Code of Military Justice, allowing us to build unshakeable defenses for court-martial proceedings, civilian criminal charges, and administrative separation boards. We do not just manage your case—we fight to defend your career, your freedom, and your honor. When everything is on the line, place your trust in a battle-tested advocate who refuses to back down.
Here are just some of the cases which we handle:
Uniform Code of Military Justice Defense
When you wear the uniform, a single accusation can destroy everything you have sacrificed to build. The military justice system does not operate like civilian court. The prosecutors have the full backing of the United States government, and the command often decides your guilt before the court-martial even begins.
Do not rely solely on a detailed military counsel who is overworked and managed by the same chain of command prosecuting you. You have the constitutional right to hire an independent, civilian military defense attorney.
At Ferrara Law, APC, we provide aggressive, uncompromised UCMJ defense worldwide. Our firm is owned by a Marine Veteran and backed by high-stakes jury trial experience.
Administrative Separation Boards
Administrative boards involve complex procedures where the stakes for service members are high. Protecting benefits and a career requires an advocate who understands military regulations, anticipates procedural challenges, and provides a focused defense.
With experience rooted in military discipline, Ferrara Law, APC brings a dedicated approach to the hearing room. The goal is to provide a comprehensive defense, identify procedural errors, and work toward a favorable resolution.
Ferrara Law achieves then by combining an understanding of how command members think, while delivering proven trial experience to the board members. Service members who have stood for their country deserve a defense that stands for them.
Non-Judicial Punishment Proceedings
Ferrara Law, APC provides aggressive representation for service members facing Non-Judicial Punishment (NJP).
An NJP action under Article 15 can severely damage a military career, impact pay, and halt promotions. While it may feel like the command holds all the power, service members have critical rights that must be protected immediately. Ferrara Law APC steps in to level the playing field, guide clients through the process, and build a strategic defense.
The firm evaluates every detail of the command's allegations to find procedural errors, evidentiary gaps, and mitigating factors. Whether the goal is to demand a trial by court-martial, submit a powerful written rebuttal, or appeal an unjust NJP decision, the firm fights to secure the best possible outcome. Do not accept a career-ending mark without a skilled advocate in your corner.
