Military Trial Defenders – Las Vegas, NV

Elite Military Defense: Military Trial Defenders

For service members stationed at Nellis Air Force Base, Creech Air Force Base, or anywhere in the Southern Nevada region, Military Trial Defenders stands as the ultimate line of defense against career-ending charges. This is not a general practice law firm; it is a specialized team of former military JAG officers who have transitioned to civilian practice to fight for the rights of those who serve. Understanding the unique and rigid structure of the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ), the firm offers a level of expertise that civilian attorneys often lack. They know the commanders, the procedures, and the high stakes involved in Courts-Martial and administrative hearings.

The firm is led by attorneys like Lance Wood and Christopher Cazares, who have decades of combined experience litigating complex military cases. They have successfully defended clients against serious allegations ranging from drug offenses to sexual assault and war crimes. Their "team approach" ensures that every case benefits from multiple expert perspectives, crafting a defense strategy that is both aggressive and technically sound. Whether you are facing a General Court-Martial, an Article 15, or an Administrative Separation Board, Military Trial Defenders provides the shield you need to protect your rank, your retirement, and your freedom.

• Court-Martial Defense: Expert representation for General, Special, and Summary Courts-Martial involving serious criminal charges.

Why Choose Former JAGs?

The military justice system is a different world. Procedures, rules of evidence, and sentencing guidelines differ significantly from civilian courts. The attorneys at Military Trial Defenders have lived this life. They have served as prosecutors and defense counsel within the military, giving them the ability to anticipate the government’s moves. They are not intimidated by rank or command influence. When you hire a lawyer from this firm, you are hiring a veteran who understands the sacrifices you have made and is committed to ensuring you are treated with fairness and dignity.

Serving Las Vegas and Beyond

While they operate globally, the firm maintains a physical presence in Las Vegas to serve the large military community at Nellis AFB and Creech AFB. Their office in the Bank of America Plaza provides a professional, confidential setting for consultations away from the base. They offer 24/7 availability, knowing that military law enforcement often acts outside of standard business hours. With transparent flat-fee pricing, service members can secure top-tier legal defense without the worry of hourly billing surprises.
