Mission Accomplished

Military Law helped me with a petition to have my discharge upgraded. I brought Kevin my case, he looked at it and said "I can help you."he did that tremendously. Kevin stayed in contact with me throughout the process and when he wasnt able to, his office staff were always a pleasure to work w...ith. We had 1 shot and Kevin executed the task perfectly. I would recommend anyone in need of military related legal services to contact Kevin Courtney at Military Law without hesitation.

Amazing work

Captain Kevin Courtney had worked on my case from November of 2022 to June 2023 and did phenomenal work. I would highly recommend this attorney for the job due to the persistence he has. I really liked the way he guided me to what he believed was best, but didn’t judge or get frustrated if I was hard... headed. I deeply respect this attorneys admiration for his job.

Really appreciated your help.

Kevin Courtney represented me on July 2022. He brought up several potential courses of action, their likely chances of success, and discussed with me his recommendations moving forward. I felt as though Kevin Courtney was invested in my case both at the time, and he followed up with me to see how thi...ngs were going. He is a level headed, factual, and thorough representative, and I would recommend his services.

MARINE

When I first found myself in the office for a failed drug test I knew it was coming because of the situation that unfolded. What happened was not my fault but I felt helpless. We were always told 0 tolerance if you fail a piss test you’re out. When I first got to the military lawyers office (jags) I ...was told by more than one of them to just accept my NJP leaving me little room for hope of staying in. That is until I met with Kevin (Capt Courtney at the time), he was the first person to give me the benefit of doubt and believed me. He was the first one to help me believe that I could fight, not only fight but win. He made me feel more secure and gave me resources, numbers, ideas, and tasks I could do to all help my case. He made me feel secure I took all of his advice after he truly made me believe in my own case and the chance that I could win and have my case dismissed. I continued to fight while my anxiety rose every time I left his office I felt better even though I knew that while he was in the USMC he was very busy with many cases but still made every effort to help me. Upon the hearing he spoke on my behalf with confidence and a certain swagger I was amazed a man that barely knew me was willing to fight like that simply because I was his client. When we left for the ADSEP board to discuss my innocence I’ll never forget the fact that they took 5 minutes to call us back in. Kevin left 0 room for debate we absolutely conquered my case and by a landslide at that. I believe now that Kevin is out he will only have more time to be an even greater attorney/ lawyer. I will never forget this man or not be grateful for what he did for me. He very well might’ve saved my life and I hope if you get the chance to work with him you don’t have a doubt in your mind that it will be the best decision you’ve ever made to work with him. Thank you Kevin.

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.
