At Harvey Military Appeals, we are committed to providing unparalleled representation for servicemembers and veterans. Our expertise encompasses court-martial appeals, military record corrections, and guidance on military criminal law, ensuring your rights are protected.
Court-Martial Appeals
Challenging Unjust Convictions: Elizabeth Harvey has over 20 years of experience in military justice and court-martial appeals. This kind of expertise is vital for court-martial appeals because issues that are not raised on the first appeal may be waived forever.
Discharge Upgrades
Upgrading Unfair Discharges: Elizabeth Harvey has successfully challenged numerous discharge characterizations, reenlistment codes, narrative reasons for separation, and other unjust separations. Regulations and guidance over administrative discharges has changed significantly in the last twenty years. You need someone who knows the landscape and has a proven record of success.
Security Clearances
Securing the Clearance You Earned: Regulations governing security clearances allow you to respond to threats to suspend or revoke your clearance. Those same regulations provide the tools needed to demonstrate your fitness for that clearance. It takes an attorney with experience to comb through the facts and regulations and submit a compelling rebuttal to the Government's claims.
Background Check Corrections
Correcting and Expunging: If your FBI records contain negative information from a military law enforcement investigation you need to submit a request to have that information corrected or removed altogether. The law and regulations governing these requests have recently changed. It is important to have an attorney who knows the rules and has successfully had these entries expunged.
Military Records Corrections
Setting the Record Straight: Your military records dictate your future both in uniform and out. An unjustified disciplinary entry or inaccurate performance report can affect your promotion opportunities and billet assignments while you serve and limit your access to resources or retirement benefits once you leave the service. You need an attorney who understands the governing regulations and has been effectively petitioning the services' records correction boards for nearly a decade.
