Our Military Law Experience

The number of courts-martial cases has steadily decreased over the years and in turn, the severity of these cases has declined. As a result, many active duty lawyers are acquiring less and less legal experience. Roger Cartwright has more than 17 years of experience serving in the US ARMY JAG Corps – both on active duty as well as the reserves. He understands military procedures and has earned credibility. He has handled hundreds of cases and hundreds of jury trials involving cases from murder and white collar crimes to drug offenses and court-martial military offenses. He has served as both  defense counsel and trial counsel (prosecutor) during his military service.  This experience gives him a unique perspective on military law.
