An Experienced Attorney Serving U.S. Service Members And Veterans Worldwide For More Than A Decade

Two Decades Of Experience Representing Service Members And Veterans

I have devoted nearly 15 years of my life to helping current and former military members of all branches reach their legal goals. I have worked on numerous cases in nearly every topic area at every level. I am one of the few lawyers in the world with experience in the nuanced field of judicial review of military decisions. This gives my clients a unique advantage.

Here’s why: Most likely, your case will end up before the Board for Correction of Military Records (BCMR) – the highest level of administrative appeal for military personnel matters. Each service has such a board and each board has broad statutory authority to correct “errors or injustices” in your records. BCMR decisions are subject to judicial review in federal court and are largely controlled by federal court case law. In many instances, success at the BCMR level hinges on how well your lawyer understands and leverages federal precedent.

Client Testimonials

“Brian was recommended to me by another lawyer. He was very polite and walked me through everything step by step before I made the decision. It was definitely a process because we started during covid. There were a few times I gave up because we got notifications from the board saying that their decision will take 18+ months. But after 3 years I finally got my discharge appealed thanks to Brian and all of his hard work.”
