JAG Defense - Virginia Beach, VA

Exclusive Military Defense Law Firm

JAG Defense is a specialized law firm in Virginia Beach dedicated exclusively to representing members of the United States Armed Forces. Founded by Grover H. Baxley, a former Air Force JAG, the firm is comprised entirely of former military attorneys who understand the unique military justice system from the inside out. If you are a service member facing a court-martial, administrative discharge, or security clearance issue, you need to find a lawyer who speaks your language and knows the code. JAG Defense offers the aggressive civilian representation necessary to protect your career, your freedom, and your future.

Protecting Those Who Serve

The military justice system is distinct from civilian courts, with its own rules, judges, and potential consequences. JAG Defense specializes in leveling the playing field. While uniformed defense counsel are hardworking, they are often overworked and under-resourced. By choosing to hire an attorney from JAG Defense, you are securing a team with decades of combined experience in military law. They travel worldwide to represent clients in all branches of service-Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, and Coast Guard.

• Courts-Martial: defending against serious criminal charges including drug offenses, sexual assault, and larceny under the UCMJ.
• Security Clearance Defense: Assisting service members and DoD contractors in retaining or restoring their security clearances (DOHA/SOR).
• Administrative Separations: Fighting against involuntary discharge and ”show cause” boards to preserve retirement benefits and service characterization.
• Non-Judicial Punishment: Advising on Article 15/Captain's Mast proceedings to mitigate career-ending penalties.

Unparalleled Experience

The attorneys at JAG Defense have served in every facet of the military justice system, from prosecutors to defense counsel.

They understand that for a military member, even a minor infraction can end a career.
