"DEFENDING THOSE WHO DEFEND AMERICA"

TDS attorneys are military officers and members of the U.S. Army Judge Advocate General's Corps. These men and women are practicing defense lawyers who graduated from a law school accredited by the American Bar Association and are licensed to practice law. To ensure objectivity and fairness, TDS attorneys are completely independent from local commands and their legal advisors. They are supervised and rated by their superiors within TDS.

Trial Defense Service provides conflict-free legal services to Soldiers who are facing adverse criminal or administrative actions at no cost to the soldier. We provide legal consultations for the following:

• Adverse Administrative Actions
• Suspect Rights – including 15-6 investigations, commanders inquiries and other military investigations

We will put you in contact with your state Defense Counsel for the following:

• Representation at Administrative Boards
• Article 15 Consultations
• Appeals of Adverse Actions to State Separation Authority

Please contact us as soon as you’re aware of a problem. We will need the time to properly advise you. To speak to a TDS attorney, please call to schedule a consultation.
