Hiring a civilian defense attorney doesn’t automatically mean you’re in good hands. It has to be the right attorney.

In this episode of Off the Record, I break down why choosing the right military defense lawyer is one of the most important decisions you’ll ever make—and how hiring the wrong one can ruin your case before it even starts. We cover:

• Why not all civilian military defense attorneys are created equal
• How to spot a lawyer who’s just in it for the paycheck vs. one who actually wins cases
• Why experience matters more than anything else—and why 10+ years is the bare minimum
• The biggest misconceptions service members have about hiring civilian defense counsel
• Why a cheap lawyer can cost you your career, your freedom, and your future

Here’s the truth: the military justice system isn’t fair—it’s built to convict. And if you’re putting your case in the hands of someone who’s inexperienced, overworked, or just looking to make easy money, you’re walking into battle unarmed.

If your life is on the line, hire a military defense attorney who actually knows how to win.
