"COL(Ret) Bridges is a one-of-a-kind find in the Military Law community. He was formally the Chief Trial Judge for the Army. His experience in Military Justice cannot be matched.

He has served in all key positions in the Army JAG community, including as a Judge, Defense Counsel, and Prosecutor. Any Servicemember accused of misconduct should seek out his counsel."
