Case Studies & Success Stories
How Our Colorado Military Attorneys Have Helped
Case Outcome: Rape Charges Defeated – Private Walks Out a Free Man
The Case
At Fort Carson, an Army private was charged with rape, assault, obstruction of justice, AWOL, and violating four protective orders – exposing him to life in prison, sex-offender registration, and the complete destruction of his young marriage and Army career.
The Result
The panel acquitted him of the gravest charges, and with credit for pretrial punishment, he left court a free man, with no additional confinement and no sex-offender registration.
Our Strategy
Our Colorado military attorneys attacked the government’s narrative on the most serious charges, highlighted credibility problems and relationship context, documented harsh pretrial punishment, and framed the remaining allegations so the panel could acquit on rape while sharply limiting any sentence.
We Highlighted:
- Evidence on rape and assault was inconsistent, incomplete, and hinged on a single witness.
- Pretrial punishment had already imposed significant consequences before any conviction.
- His youth, new marriage, and potential to rehabilitate with supervision, not years in prison.
- The panel could hold him accountable for lesser misconduct without branding him a sex offender.
Case Outcome: Sex-Assault Charges Withdrawn – Specialist Regains His Path Forward
The Case
An Army specialist was accused of sexual assault after an alcohol-fueled encounter with a civilian at an off-post hotel. The case rested mainly on her statements and a friend’s concerns. He faced a referred court-martial, possible confinement, sex-offender registration, and the loss of his Army career if convicted.
The Result
After reviewing our submission and an in-depth interview, the Office of Special Trial Counsel (OSTC) withdrew the referred court-martial and allowed him to complete alcohol rehabilitation. He continued serving with no conviction and no sex-offender registration.
Our Strategy
We compared every statement she made against text messages and documented events, tested the evidence on force and fear, and showed how alcohol affected both parties’ memories. We then presented his cooperation, clean record, and commitment to treatment in a detailed submission to OSTC.
We Highlighted:
- Her statements conflicted with each other, her text messages, and documented events.
- The objective evidence did not match the level of force or fear she later described.
- Alcohol use by both parties clouded their memories and supported a reasonable doubt.
- His full cooperation, clean record, and clear willingness to seek alcohol treatment.
Case Outcome: AAIP Entry Removed – Commander's Leadership Record Restored
The Case
A respected U.S. MEPS company commander received adverse findings from an AR 15-6 investigation, which were then misused to generate an AAIP summary for promotion boards – contradicting her commander’s written conclusion that the incident was a recoverable mistake that should not limit her promotion potential.
The Result
After our response, the investigation’s impact was reversed, the AAIP entry was removed, and this outstanding commander was cleared to continue serving without a misleading adverse narrative shadowing her career.
Our Strategy
Our military lawyers dissected the investigation and the AAIP processing, showed how the administrative actions defied the approving commander’s intent, and documented regulatory and due-process violations. We reframed the incident as a supervisory-development issue, not a character or integrity failure warranting a permanent adverse label.
We Highlighted:
- Her command wrote that the mistake was recoverable and should not limit promotion.
- The AR 15-6 findings showed counseling gaps, not disqualifying flaws of character.
- The AAIP entry misstated the command’s intent and broke adverse-information rules.
- Her later OERs showed growth, accountability, and repeated high-potential ratings.

Frequently Asked Questions
What Service Members in Colorado Need to Know
What Military Bases Are in Colorado?
Colorado’s main installations are Fort Carson, the U.S. Air Force Academy, Peterson Space Force Base, Schriever Space Force Base, Cheyenne Mountain Space Force Station and Buckley Space Force Base. All but Buckley sit in or around Colorado Springs; Buckley is in Aurora, east of Denver. The Army also trains at the Piñon Canyon Maneuver Site in southeastern Colorado, and the Colorado Air National Guard operates Greeley Air National Guard Station north of Denver.
How Many Military Bases Are in Colorado?
It depends on what you count. Colorado has five main installations: Buckley, Fort Carson, Peterson, Schriever and the Air Force Academy. Add Cheyenne Mountain Space Force Station and you have six major active-duty sites. Broader counts also include National Guard, Reserve and training sites such as Piñon Canyon and Greeley.
Do I Need a Court-Martial Lawyer in Colorado If I Already Have TDS?
You don’t have to hire one, but you have the right to. Soldiers at Fort Carson get free Trial Defense Service counsel, and Airmen and Guardians get free Area Defense Counsel. A civilian military criminal defense attorney in Colorado can work alongside your detailed counsel or take the lead, adding time and independent investigators to your defense.
Can the Military Pull Your Medical Records in a Colorado DUI?
Often, yes. Under HIPAA’s military command exception, a health care provider, including a civilian hospital, may share a service member’s health information with command authorities when it’s needed to assess fitness for duty or the mission. The rule permits disclosure; it doesn’t require it, and providers should share only the minimum necessary. Whether those records can be used in your civilian DUI case is a separate question to raise with your lawyer.
Can You Use a Military ID at a Dispensary in Colorado?
A U.S. military ID is an accepted proof of age under Colorado’s marijuana rules, but service members can’t legally buy or use marijuana at all. Possession and use stay punishable under Article 112a of the UCMJ, and Colorado’s Amendment 64 doesn’t change that. Marijuana is also banned on every installation in the state.
How Much Does an Initial Consultation Cost?
Nothing. Your first consultation is free, confidential, and about 15 minutes long. You talk directly with a Warrior Advocate about what happened and what your options are, and you decide afterward whether to hire us. There is no obligation. Call, start a live chat, or book a time online, whichever is fastest for you.
