Expert and Tailored Representation for UK Armed Forces Personnel

Trust us to get the right result for you

You are entitled to legal advice before and during a Service Police interview. What you say can be used in criminal proceedings and may also affect administrative action such as Major Administrative Action or discharge. Speaking to a military law solicitor before interview is strongly advised.

Yes. We provide a 24/7 global service for serving personnel, including those based overseas or on deployment. Advice can be given remotely and quickly to ensure you are prepared before any interview takes place.

As early as possible. Legal representation at the investigation stage can influence whether a case is referred for prosecution and how it is prepared. Early advice often makes a material difference to the outcome.

Major Administrative Action is a formal military process used to deal with conduct or performance issues. It can run alongside or separately from criminal investigations and may result in restrictions on duties, loss of clearance or discharge.

Why is early legal advice critical in these cases? These investigations carry immediate reputational and career risk. Statements made early often shape both criminal and administrative outcomes. Early advice allows the process to be managed carefully from the outset.

Why is legal advice urgent after a failed CDT? A failed Compulsory Drug Test can lead directly to discharge or serious administrative sanction. Early legal advice allows procedural issues to be identified and your position to be assessed before irreversible decisions are made.

Why should I involve a solicitor in a Service Complaint? Service Complaints affect careers, postings and progression. Poorly framed complaints or responses can weaken your position. Legal advice ensures issues are presented properly and risks are managed.

A Service Inquiry investigates serious incidents connected to service, such as deaths, injuries or significant events. Findings can lead to disciplinary action, administrative measures or further investigation. Legal advice helps ensure statements are handled carefully and your interests are protected throughout the process.

Clear, honest advice for the right outcomes

A great understanding with ex military… I recently worked closely with Stephanie defending my case. From start to finish. I was well informed of what was happening and potential outcomes. I found it very easy to commute with Stephanie purely for the fact shes works/worked closely with Ex military. Understood my background and can relate to military experiences and procedures. I would highly recommend Stephanie if you’ve military experience recently or a while back.
