Military Defense Lawyer

Mr. Courtney represented me in a Special Court Martial regarding illegal drug use within the United States military. He brought many points to the table that the prosecutor could not see, Mr. Courtney helped me to understand the laws much more that I thought I was able to. I am very happy with how th...e results of his hard work turned out.

A Grateful Reflection on Mr. Courtney's Outstanding Legal Support

I would like to take this opportunity to express my sincere gratitude and admiration for Mr. Kevin Courtney (Capt Courtney) and the exceptional legal assistance he provided during a challenging time in my military career. His unwavering commitment to his clients, genuine care for their well-being, an...d remarkable legal expertise all played a vital role in achieving a favorable outcome for my case. Throughout the entirety of my interaction with Mr. Courtney, I was struck by his unwavering dedication and diligence. Despite being near the end of his own military service, he consistently showcased an astounding level of professionalism and took my defense seriously, going above and beyond what was expected of him. Beyond his professional duties as my attorney, Mr. Courtney demonstrated an exceptional level of concern for my personal well-being. Despite his demanding schedule, he regularly reached out to check on my welfare, providing invaluable guidance and support during a very challenging period in my life. Thanks to Mr. Courtney's legal acumen and tireless efforts, he was successful in obtaining a Separation in Lieu of court-martial for me, saving me from the potential loss of rank and confinement in the brig. This outcome not only spared me from enduring the long-lasting consequences of formal charges but also paved the way for a smoother transition into civilian life upon leaving the military. I am incredibly fortunate to have had Mr. Kevin Courtney in my corner as my attorney. His professionalism, unwavering commitment to his clients, and genuine empathy make him an exceptional advocate. I wholeheartedly recommend Mr. Courtney's legal services to any active or Veteran seeking outstanding legal representation. It is thanks to his invaluable support and expertise that I can face the future with confidence and gratitude.

From OTH to HONORABLE Discharge

To whomever this may concern, Kevin Courtney was my appointed attorney by the United States Marine Corps (USMC) against the USMC. I was fighting an administrative separation due to a civilian conviction. From start to finish not once did Kevin provide me with any empty promises or false hopes. The on...ly thing he did promise was that he would try his best to obtain the outcome I was hoping for. Which was retention in the Marine Corps. I was guided with what documents I should gather, what to expect, and every outcome possible regardless of good or bad. Not once was I lied to. I was never pushed to go with a specific route, only advised on what the possible outcomes were for each route we were able to take. Any questions I had he answered them truthfully and never assumed the answer. If he wasn’t sure he would find out and get back to me as soon as possible. I was shown courtesy, respect, and empathy. My case was a very extraordinary one. One that if an honorable discharge was given it would be similar to winning the lottery. Regardless of not being retained in the USMC, An honorable discharge was far from what I was expecting. I thought of it as something impossible. Yet, Kevin was able to put up the fight and show who I was as a Marine and a man outside of duties to the board members who had all the control in my outcome. I definitely feel confident recommending Kevin Courtney to anyone seeking an attorney who will go above and beyond!

Court martial

Earlier this year Kevin helped me beat a case in the Marine Corps. He was very helpful and meticulous with everything. He listened to everything I said and had my back from the beginning. Thanks to him I finished my contract honorably.

Absolutely with out question a lawyer you want.

While in the Marine Corps Kevin Courtney was assigned as my JAG lawyer, for over a year fighting my case. Upon being assigned as my lawyer he went straight to work asking what happened and gathering information and giving me direction for next steps in preparation for an ADSEP board. Before my board ...he exhausted all administrative means to prevent the ADSEP board from even hapoening. Mr. Courtney provided me reassurance and confidence to continue to fight. Upon conducting my ADSEP board Mr. Courtney was well prepared, organized and sheer perfection fighting for me. We won the board and I feel a lot had to do with how he presented the evidence and cross examined exposing the holes in this allegation. BUT, it doesn't stop there I was still being recommended for separation. Mr. Courtney again collected information, prepared, and gave me direction in preparation to rebuttal to the SECNAV. A few months passed and I recieved notice from the SECNAV that I was innocent and that the case was closed. I battled this for over 2 years and was ostracized and was the black sheep and for majority of that the ONE person who I knew had my back was Kevin Courtney. I would not still be in the Marine Corps and continuing my 14 years of service without Kevin Courtney! He like I stated in the title with out question is the lawyer you want. He will work tirelessly and diligently, He will advise and guide. His honestly and dependability are unmatched. He is a stellar attorney and trust me you want him on your side guiding and working your case especially when military law is so confusing and complex.

Karim, I was honored to be in your corner when the command ostracized you as the black sheep. We fought with the facts, your good character, and your perseverance. Never an easy day, but I would team up with you again anytime in the future!
