Military Criminal Defense Lawyer

Highly Recommended and one of the best. Her services were well worth it and if on the fence I would contact her office for a consultation and retain her sooner... read more than later. I was hesitant to retain a lawyer because I knew my innocence but still found myself in a very vulnerable situation and unfamiliar with the military legal system. I also had a command that would not listen to my side and only saw me guilty. Jocelyn Stewart came highly recommended from a colleague so I gave it a shot and I was not disappointed. I chose to have her represent me for an Administrative separation board where my whole career and retirement was on the line and she did not disappoint. She was helpful and timely throughout the whole process. She came prepared, well organized, and her experience showed. She saved my reputation, a lifetime of benefits, and secured my future. Even though I knew I was not guilty of the allegations that brought me into this situation I don’t think the outcome would have been as favorable for me if it wasn’t for her. I would have never been able to represent myself as well as she did. For those service members that find themselves in these administrative and legal proceedings I highly recommend getting legal representation and not trying to fight it yourself. Trial defense services (TDS) was not helpful at all and after talking with Jocelyn TDS often provided very poor advice. It is disappointing that it is so hard for a service member to prove their innocence and receive justice through the military investigation and justice system as JAG personnel and commanders don’t require determining evidence as a civilian court does and often times disregard service members statements or manipulate them to fit their version of the truth or just try to get rid of the service member instead of finding the actual truth, substantiating evidence, and determining justice. But that is the system and it isn’t designed to help or protect the service member. That is why good legal representation is essential and when it comes to representation Jocelyn Stewart is a really good choice. She is very busy and flies around the country representing service members and yet she always found time to talk to me and assist me. Retain sooner than later as statements or actions you make during the process can work or be used against you. Jocelyn Stewart is one of the best and is worth the retainer fee.

I had the pleasure of working with Jocelyn Stewart at the prestigious Trial Lawyers College in Wyoming. It was there that I saw first hand the kind of person... read more she is. Few attorneys have the grit that Jocelyn has. She has a level of honor, courage, and commitment that you only see from military servicewomen. Her dedication to her country is only equal to her commitment to her clients. Jocelyn is a fighter and it is because of my personal observations that I without reservation highly recommend her services to others.

Very knowledgeable attorney who communicates well, has vast amount of experience, and understands in depth the processes and challenges of her clients. I couldn’t have asked for better legal... read more counsel. Any potentials looking for a good attorney need not look any further than Ms. Stewart!

Jocelyn was quick to return my phone call. I knew I was in a bad situation and I needed a top notch attorney to make sure that I wasn't taken... read more advantage of by a military system than can be less than objective. I contacted her early, and I believe that was the reason my case had such a favorable outcome. Get her on your side early so that she can begin advocating for you. She made phone calls and obtained information I wouldn't have been able to by myself. She has connections, let her use those in your favor. As for the outcome, we were so ahead of the system that the military didn't even get the chance to charge me with any wrong doing. No Charges, No Action Taken!

Securing Jocelyn's services are your best chance when facing a 15-6 investigation or reprimand. During Command I came under investigation after being accused of a relationship with a subordinate.... read more I initially tried to rebut the investigation myself with legal assistance. Despite the Investigating Officer changing his recommendations the CG issued me a GOMOR. I retained Jocelyn at this point and was able to sway the Deputy CG to file the GOMOR locally. I will be able to exit my Command without relief or a referred OER. I will not be facing a board and my security clearance is safe. I regret not retaining Jocelyn from the start. Her team worked hard for me and I could be facing far worse without her. Investigations are stacked against you and you will feel guilty until proven innocent. Everyone will air their grievances and take advantage. This is on top of all the other worries and feeling like an outcast. Having Jocelyn's skills and experience on your side is exactly what you need in such times.

I had the privilege of working with Jocelyn and I absolutely recommend hiring her! She is incredibly talented and truly impressed me--both with her legal skills and with her dedication... read more to her cases. Jocelyn is one of the sharpest attorneys I have ever met and will absolutely deliver for you! I would have my family and friends hire her in a heartbeat!
