Courts-Martial Appeals

Appeals Attorney, Charles W. Gittins

The outcome of any trial, whether it takes place under civilian or military jurisdiction, is difficult to predict with any certainty. And sometimes courts-martial trials result in bad outcomes and unjust verdicts. But just because a bad result was reached at trial, don't make the mistake of assuming your case is over.

It's not.

The Law Office of Charles W. Gittins, P.C., handles courts-martial appeals for officers and enlisted personnel from every branch of the US Armed Forces, stationed at bases ranging from San Diego to Guantanamo Bay, Europe and Korea/Japan.

As a lawyer and as a former member of the military himself, Mr. Gittins has a thorough understanding of the military appeals process for court-martial convictions and a great deal of experience in effectively representing the interests of his clients in these cases. Grounds for the appeal of a military conviction may include:

Prejudicial errors of law or procedure
Unlawful command influence
Factual errors

Mr. Gittins represents clients in courts-martial appeals before all of the service courts of appeal, including the Coast Guard Court of Criminal Appeals, the Navy-Marine Corps Court of Criminal Appeals, the Army Court of Criminal Appeals, and the Air Force Court of Criminal Appeals.

Even if appeal of your conviction is unsuccessful before the service Courts of Criminal Appeal, Mr. Gittins can petition for hearing before the United States Court of Appeals for the Armed Forces, and even before the United States Supreme Court if necessary. Because he is no longer an inexperienced and overworked JAG officer, he has the ability to give every case his full and undivided attention.

Attorney Gittins has successfully had charges dismissed and punishments reduced for many clients and he has been the attorney-of-record in dozens of reported appellate decisions during his career.

Recognizing the special needs his clients have in these cases, Mr. Gittins provides free initial telephone consultations and may travel across the globe to meet with and represent clients wherever they are located.
