No One Better That Can Represent You.

I am a military officer who was falsely accused of sexual assault by an acquaintance who had been drinking and claims not to remember what happened that night. I faced a general court-martial trial in which the government had three prosecutors, including a senior sex crimes prosecutor. I was represen...ted and defended by Richard Stevens in this case. Prior to trial, Mr. Stevens represented me during my Article 32 hearing, which included cross-examination of witnesses and presenting evidence and arguments. The recommendation of the Investigating Officer was that my case should be dropped. Despite that, the case against me was not dropped by the government. Mr. Stevens then represented me in two different motion hearings, in which many legal issues were litigated and we were able to compel key evidence that assisted in the defense of my case. My case then proceeded to trial. Mr. Stevens within the first few minutes showed me exactly why I hired him. He was aggressive, argumentative and controlled the court room that didn't believe was possible. His closing argument was better than I could have ever imagined. Ultimately, I was found not guilty of all charges. There is no doubt in my mind, Richard Stevens should be the first attorney anyone consults when found facing court martial action. His attention to detail, is impeccable and he is widely respected among the community. I have already recommended him to friends in similar situations and there's no one better that can represent you.

THE BEST Military Defense for Sexual Assault

I was a retirement eligible senior NCO who was falsely accused of rape and sexual assault and was facing a general court-martial trial. A senior sex crimes prosecutor was on the case against me. I was represented and defended by Richard Stevens in this case. Mr. Stevens was amazing! Ultimately, the ...case against me was dropped and I was able to retire honorably after decades of military service. I would highly recommend Mr Stevens as the best there is to offer when it comes to Defending on the UCMJ and Sexual Assault. Rich was always available to answer any question I had, he gave sound advice and had multiple strategies for defending me, he did interviews, he new my case inside and out. Through his knowledge of the case and the UCMJ he filed numerous legal documents and motions which resulted in my case being dismissed. If you need the best, Rich is your guy.

Topnotch Military Defense Lawyer

I was falsely accused of drug use. I was represented by attorney Richard Stevens in this case. He assisted me in responding to the allegations and the impact these claims were having on my military career. Ultimately, I was cleared of the allegations and I have been able to move forward with my milit...ary career. Highlights: -Mr. Stevens was always accessible (calls, emails, and texts were answered in an expeditious manner). -Excellent pricing/fees! -Legal expertise is unparalleled. Mr. Stevens writing (responses to my administrative punishment) was impressive. His writing style was well crafted and effective. -He is forthright and his advice can be trusted. -Reputation is first-class. I was recommended to him by my Commander. Moreover, when I informed the JA that my attorney was Mr. Stevens, his response was "you have one of the best attorneys money can buy." Thats the same JA that was thinking about taking me to a Courts-Martial. Bottom Line- Mr. Stevens is the best civilian military defense lawyer. His reviews/reputation corroborates my opinion/review. Money well spent, five stars!

Mr. Stevens

Where to begin? Mr Stevens is by far the best attorney hands down. His knowledge and expertise is excellent. His was nothing more then helpful and answered any questions that I had. If I was facing him on the other end it would be a total nightmare.

Our defense counsel with outstanding experience and ability - Mr Richard Stevens

Mr Stevens represented my son at a general court martial in which he was charged of sexual assault of a civilian female. The prosecution was relentless and brought in expert witnesses. The consequences of a guilty verdict would have been devastating. Throughout the lengthy trial, Mr Steven's thoro...ugh preparation, experience, and court room presence was very evident. He presented the facts clearly, concisely, and decisively. He refuted the prosecution, point by point in a strong, forceful manner. The truth was revealed and the court found my son not guilty. I thank God we put our trust in Mr. Richard Stevens. We will never be able to re-pay what he did for my son and my family. Father of an officer client
