GERMANY COURT MARTIAL DEFENSE
At Bilecki Law Group, We believe every service member has earned their right to an aggressive defense on their day in court. We specialize in taking the fight to the prosecution and winning cases that others said were unwinnable.
Germany is one of America’s most important regional allies and a cornerstone of the European Union. It is also home to one of the largest clusters of U.S. Army installations in the world, and the largest by far on the European continent. Many of these installations have been garrisoned by American service members since the end of World War II and will continue to be manned by Americans well into the 21st century.
Many U.S. service members would count themselves lucky to be stationed in one of the many Army installations in Southern Germany. Those hopes can turn to ashes, however, should they be accused of a criminal offense while performing their duties in-country.
- The chances of a conviction remain incredibly high: U.S. Military prosecutors have consistently kept their conviction rate extremely high for many years. This is due to many factors, including the prosecution’s overwhelming resources, forensic support and an army of law enforcement at their beck and call.
- Convictions almost always lead to a discharge: A conviction is almost certain to be the end of your military career in the form of a bad-conduct or dishonorable discharge. Even if you escape this fate, you will almost certainly be trapped in your current rank and passed up for future jobs and promotions.
- A dishonorable discharge is more expensive than you think. Hundreds of thousands if not millions of dollars over your lifetime are at stake. A dishonorable discharge will be the end not only of your consistent military salary, but also your G.I. benefits, healthcare, and retirement.
Germany is not kind to those service members who are convicted of a criminal offense. Call the law offices of Bilecki Law Group TODAY to get ahead of the investigation—before it’s too late.
U.S.-German Military Relations, History, and Court-Martial Activity
The U.S. and Germany have had a long and storied history as both allies and enemies over the years. But it was the carving out of Germany between the Allies and the Soviets after World War II and the subsequent decades-long Cold War that followed between the two superpowers, which solidified America’s presence in the western and southern parts of Europe’s heartland.
America’s military involvement in Germany decreased rapidly in the 90s. The 21st century has seen additional pressure by the German people to close and consolidate many more American bases. By 2020, slightly more than a dozen American installations will remain, all in Germany’s southern provinces.
