When service members face criminal charges or administrative actions under the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ), the stakes are incredibly high. A conviction or negative discharge can result in loss of rank, loss of pay, imprisonment, or even the end of a military career. During these critical times, many service members wonder: should I rely on a free military-appointed attorney, or should I choose an independent civilian military defense lawyer?
At Kral Military Defense, we believe the answer is clear. Attorneys Stephanie Kral and Abbigayle Hunter, both veterans themselves, have dedicated their careers to serving those who serve. With thousands of successful defenses and years of military and civilian legal experience, they understand the military justice system like few others can.
Civilian vs. Military Appointed Counsel
Service members are often assigned military attorneys, but the level of support can vary widely depending on your branch of service. In many cases, the assigned attorney may be juggling dozens of cases at once. That leaves little time to prepare for complex military criminal defense cases where every detail matters.
Civilian lawyers like those at Kral Military Defense can devote more time, resources, and personal attention to your case. They operate independently from the chain of command, which means their loyalty is 100% to you—not the military system.
Expertise in Military Criminal Defense
Court-martials are not like civilian trials. The rules, procedures, and consequences are unique, requiring specialized expertise. Attorneys Kral and Hunter have defended service members facing charges ranging from sexual assault to drug use to high-profile misconduct. Their experience ensures that every possible defense strategy is explored and executed with precision.
