Court Martial

I can’t thank Kevin enough for how he handled my case and helped me get my case dismissed. During our consult, he gave me a game plan of what needed to happen and what I needed to provide him in order for him to get to work on my case. I sent him the required documents and he took care of the rest. K...ept me informed through out the process and always kept me in the loop of what was happening. I was facing a special court martial in the Marine Corps in 2022. Not only was Kevin able to get my case dismissed, he also got the Command to agree to medically separate me like I should have been back in 2012. I cannot thank Kevin enough for what he has done for me. I went from looking at getting a dishonorable discharge and reduced all the way down to private for deserting in 2012, to keeping my rank, my honor and getting medically separated from the Marine Corps. Thank you Kevin, I will forever be grateful. I would 100% recommend his services to anyone looking for a great attorney that will guide you in the right direction.

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.

Court Martial

I was charged with article 120 towards the end of my Marine Corps career. It was a bad situation from the get go, she made a false sexual assault allegation to cover up her mistake. It was basically my word verses hers. On top of the “he said she said” was a very biased investigation done by NCIS whi...ch kind of left evidence up in the air. Thankfully I had Kevin in my corner to walk me through everything. It was a very long painful process but I was always in the loop and always felt like I was being taken care of. Kevin even helped me with the unfair treatment from my chain of command and always ensured that this painful process wasn’t as bad. During the trial process he was working day in and day out with his team, there was never a time that I felt he wasn’t putting in all of his effort towards the case. He was every smart and articulate in the court room and was able to clearly poke holes in every single one of the Trial Counsels arguments. There was never a time that he was taken by surprise with what anyone on the trial counsel had to say. During the week of the trial Kevin was confident with what they had prepared and was able to lighten the mood during such a horrible time, even taking time to make sure my wife was in the loop and feeling good about the situation. I would recommend Kevin to anyone, he’s a great lawyer and a great man.

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!

Phenomenal Defense Attorney!

Mr. Courtney was very professional and respectful whenever we spoke about the case. I had several questions regarding the outcomes of my case and how we can beat tackle it. He takes the time to explain everything that's going on and whenever I had questions outside of our appointments he responded fa...ster than I expected. I highly recommend him as your attorney as he is more than competent in the court. He has been highly spoken of by fellow peers that were represented by him as well.
