Grover Hamel Baxley

I was informed that I had tested positive for THC during a routine 10% urinalysis approximately 14 months ago. I had no idea how I could fight it but I knew that if I accepted punishment it would end my career, and I knew that I had not used marijuana and so I could not accept punishment for it. Aft...er speaking with mr Baxley on the telephone he advised me to refuse the UCMJ punishment and request trial by court martial. I decided to hire him immediately and followed his advice every step of the way after that. Mr. Baxley walked me through step by step of everything that was going to happen after I denied the article 15. We proceeded to a special court martial and I was found not guilty of marijuana use. Mr Baxley was the most professional person in that court room. He was in command of the trial and the jury the entire time. After witnessing him deliberate the first day, I had full confidence I would get the result I desired. I would recommend him to anyone in need of proving innocence because there's no better man for the job.

Four months of agonizing if I'd win my case was literally resolved. I WON I popped positive for cocaine. No way did I do that. After my DRB I contacted him and he told me exactly what to do. My command was set that I did this. I denied NJP. 10 years in the Navy, married to a wonderful husband who ...is an E7 and a 7 year old son. I couldn't think, eat, sleep. Finally my command decided to do an ADSEP board. Of course they came for me different directions but Grover Baxley was calm, cool, and collected. He laid out the facts and evidence and after 3 hours of deliberation I was found No Misconduct and Retained. I am able to continue another 10 year or longer because I had his help!!!!!! If you want the best, call Grover B. Worth every dime! Thank you again!!!!!!!

I contracted Grover Baxley as my attorney to represent me after I received notification of a positive urinalysis for MDMA (ecstasy). I chose Mr. Baxley over several other attorneys that I spoke with because of his experience and competence in defending positive urinalysis cases. When he was contr...acted, Mr. Baxley immediately explained all of the details of the process and what I could expect in the coming months. He was very clear and concise with his advice. I chose to take the case to Court Martial based on his advice and my own aspirations to hopefully one day clear my name of the accusation. I waited nine months for my Court Martial. Throughout those nine months, Mr. Baxley aided in communicating with the Army JAG attorneys and coordinating what needed to be done before the trial. Mr. Baxley arrived days before the trial, which gave ample time to prepare. I would recommend Mr. Baxley to anyone who wants to challenge a positive urinalysis because of his very strong performance during the Court Martial itself. His ability to adapt to the situation during the Court Martial proved extremely effective. Various factors caused things to change during the Court Martial and tough decisions had to be made, but Mr. Baxley had great advice and strategy that ended up with a positive outcome. Overall, his closing statement was the most effective in my opinion. The closing statement was communicated in such a manner that some members of the panel (I chose an Officer panel, instead of a Judge) were actually nodding their heads during his statement (which was not the case, when the prosecution spoke). His arguments were laid out very clearly and effectively, which is what I believe caused the panel to vote "not guilty." I am very glad that I chose Grover Baxley to represent me in my positive urinalysis case. I can now gladly continue on with my career with peace of mind that this is all behind me.

If you look under “Representative Cases”, you’ll see my story under AF TSgt Acquitted After Two Positive Urinalysis Tests. Yes, that’s me. Like you, I happened to find the JAG Defense website and began reading the testimonials and previous cases. Six months ago, just like you, I read the success s...tories and wondered, could these really be true? Is this guy really THAT good? Let me assure you, 100-percent, without a doubt, he is absolutely THAT good. You will not find a better military lawyer, especially in cases involving the wrongful use of controlled substances and positive urinalysis tests. If you’re facing a court martial, or deciding whether to accept an Article 15, contact Mr. Baxley immediately. It’s the smartest decision you’ll ever make. Mr. Baxley, I can’t thank you enough. I’m proud to have my success story added to the list.

Ever since I popped hot on a unit level analysis for thc I was certain that my military career was over. At the time of this case in early 2015 I was a SPC in the United States Army, and was given an article 15 that would have certainly ended my career (my unit had even started my separation packet).... Concerned for my future I searched the internet for advice on my case, and I found the services of Jag Defense legal services and more specially Mr. Baxley. From the first time I spoke with him on the phone, I knew that Mr. Baxley had expertise on these matters. He explained to me exactly what my options were and what the government was going to try to do every step of the way. I decided at JAG to decline my article 15 despite my JAG "counsel" telling me that it was unwise to do so, because "the army always wins". During the several months waiting for my court date, Mr. Baxley explained to me how we were going to handle the case. He kept me informed and responded to any of my questions in a timely manner. At one point, Mr. Baxley had business to attend to in Italy, but I was still able to keep correspondence with him, and he made himself available to me in a timely manner. When my day at court finally came, Mr. Baxley explained the whole process to me and prepped me for my testimony if I needed to take the stand. When it came to jury selection, we were able to excuse 3 of the 7 jury members from the panel that may of been unfavorable to my case. From the opening arguments it was obvious that the prosecution was outclassed by Mr. Baxley. As they called up their witnesses, Mr. Baxley would expertly extract information from them that put me in a favorable light to the jury. By the time the prosecution had rested their case, it became apparent that I should not even testify, although if I had to I would of been ready thanks to Mr. Baxley. Throughout the case, Mr. Baxley was able to object to many of the prosecutions motions and questions and was successful more times than not. His ability to cite case law and his knowledge of military law was quite impressive to the whole court room. On the other hand, when the prosecution made motions against our defense, Mr. Baxley was able to explain to the judge why the motion had no grounds. Almost always the judge would overrule the prosecution, often times right in front of the jury! At the end of the case, the jury took only 20 minutes to deliberate, and came back with a verdict of not guilty. I will be forever thankful to the services that Mr. Baxley provided for my defense, and would recommend him to anyone that asks. I know that being taken to court martial is one of the most stressful situations that one may ever face. Do not trust your JAG counsel to have your best interest in heart. If I would have went with them, I would be out of the military. I would recommend that you at least give Mr. Baxley a call.
