Military Law - Military Justice
Military law consists of the Uniform Code of Military Justice and other statutory provisions for the government of persons in the Armed Forces to which may be added the unwritten common law of the usage and custom of military service as well as regulations and authorized by the President as Commander in Chief of the Armed Forces (See 10 U.S.C.S. § 121). It is a part of our body of law as a whole, and is fully recognized by civil courts; it is in force in time of peace as well as in time of war. All persons serving in the Armed Forces of the United States are subject to military law at all times.

Donald G. Rehkopf has extensive experience representing clients in the toughest military matters, including:

  • Treason
  • Defense of General, Special and Summary Courts-Martial

Military Charges are very serious charges and demand that anyone facing such charges employ an experienced military justice attorney for his or her defense in order to protect your rights.
