Grover Hamel Baxley

I am writing this to express my extreme gratitude to Grover Baxley in representing me during my General Court Martial. I am a Navy Chief with 16 years of service, and was accused of and charged with Article 120 – Sexual Assault. The day after I was notified of the allegation I met with a so-call...ed high profile lawyer in Virginia Beach who came off as pompous and insincere, only concerned with his fee immediately, and presented a scare-tactic to me of my case stating he could only do damage-control for me at this point. I immediately left and found a REAL HIGH-PROFILE lawyer the next day…..Grover Baxley. The moment I sat down with Grover, he was genuinely open to hearing my case and circumstances, and was very sincere and endearing in his concern for me. He did not try to paint some “false pretty picture” for me, but gave me all the possible and likely outcomes straight forward. What stood out to me the most about that meeting was that he was very easy to talk to, and was immediately protective of my rights and well-being. It was only long after talking about the case, the possible outcomes, his protecting my immediate rights and character; that we finally talked about fees. That spoke volumes to me. From the moment I signed the paperwork for him to represent me, my Commanding Officer and everyone involved with my case were contacted by Grover, and instructed that he will and must be notified well before I was to be questioned, or asked to sign a document, or do anything regarding my case. Every step of the process was coordinated and handled for me by Grover, to ensure that I was never mistreated or had my rights violated. Through 8 motion hearings and up through the week long Court Martial, I honestly feel what Grover charged me was nowhere near the compensation he deserved for the level of work he performed. As a Chief who in a span of only 3 years was awarded 2 Navy Commendation Medals, the Bronze Star Medal, and a Navy Wide Leadership Award; I adamantly state I can recognize when a person is in the ELITE of his or her profession…and Grover is THE ELITE! His tenacious work ethic and profound legal expertise is the ONLY reason I was able to have my innocence proven, and to be found NOT GUILTY of the Article 120 Charge! Even after my Court-Martial, Grover continued to make sure that my rights were protected and honored. For his unwavering character, strong work ethic, and legal expertise; I am eternally grateful! I would proudly talk to any potential client who is considering hiring Grover Baxley to defend them, and give them my personal story of how he safeguarded my life!

Grover Baxley, of the JAG Defense firm, represented me in a military urinalysis case. His outstanding knowledge and professionalism were constant through a very long and difficult process. From the very first contact with him, while I was deployed in Afghanistan, through my acquittal, nearly a year... later, Mr. Baxley proved himself an excellent attorney. I highly recommend anyone facing a similar situation, make contact with him and his firm, follow their advice, and regain your life back.

Grover managed all aspects and responded to the US Navy's Notice of Intent to suspend my TS-SCI security clearance. The result of his expertise led to a surprise win without having to go to the DoD Appellate level, with DONCAF fully exonerating me and leaving my TS-SCI clearance intact. I had a n...umber of affairs with foreign contacts that included prostitutes. Grover led me through the steps to successfully mitigate any security concerns, with sensitivity to me as a person and the necessary forthrightness to alleviate my demonstrated poor judgement to the Navy. I highly recommend him as a comprehensively thorough lawyer who consistently demonstrated outstanding competence and just as importantly to me, sensitivity and compassion to me as a person.

With seven good years into the navy I was notified that I had failed a urine test for cocaine. Even though there where a couple discrepencies with my case my appointed jag pretty much told me that I would recieve an OTH discharge. With all I had invested into the navy and an otherwise good track re...cord I decided to look to look elsewhere. After speaking with a couple different attorneys I knew Mr. Baxley was the best choice, his knowledge and confidence in dealing with these cases was immediatly obviouse. After taking him on he was there every step of the way making sure we went into the admin sep board with every possible advantage. Weather that was getting my difficult ex girlfriend to make a statement or just walking me through the process he made sure everything was taking care of. At the board it was immediately obvious that he was the most experianced and persuasive person in the room. His skill with words and attention to detail throughout the board resulted in me recieving a no misconduct. Thanks to Mr. Baxley I'm able to finish my naval career honorable. My family and I are forever gratefull.

I was represented by Mr. Grover Baxley in my Special Court Martial case. I'm an E-7 in the Navy. I was facing more than 20 serious charges that could have lead to a dishonorable discharge, forfeiture of $4282.30 per month for 12 months ($51,388.00), reduction in rank to E-1 and 12 month jail time. Th...e service, attention to detail, and the time and effort Mr. Baxley put into my case was unbelievable. I could call him anytime for advice. The price he charged do not even come close to the work and effort he put into my case. I had several attorneys who wouldn’t even touch my case. They called themselves the best attorney’s in Hampton Roads. Mr. Baxley is one of the best. He’s well known and liked. Even doing my time of illness, he would call and check on my family and myself and offer encouraging words for us. He’s a very supportive attorney. The Government had enough evidence and information to bring charges and prosecute me to the fullest at a Special Court Martial. He had my case reduce to a Summary Court Martial and the majority of my charges dropped. I plead guilty to one lesser charge with a sentencing of ½ month pay of one month and a Non-Punitive Letter of Reprimand. Grover Baxley tireless efforts saved my Navy career; and I retained my rank of E-7. This saved me over $700,000 in retirement benefits. He's worth the price. You will not get better service from any other attorney. He truly cares about his clients. He took my case on a short notice and provided outstanding and positive results. I strongly recommend his service as a military trail lawyer.
