22 OCT 19 – Fort Benning, GA:
Mickey Williams and the team at Shewmaker & Shewmaker win big at Fort Benning, GA. Our client was an E-7, 11B, with over 16 years of active duty service. He has deployed 3 times, served in combat, and is devoted father and husband. Our client was accused of wrongfully ingesting THC during holiday block leave. On our recommendation, the client turns down an Article 15 and chooses trial by court-martial. Instead of giving our client his day in court, the Command elects to separate our client at a separation hearing. During the hearing, Mickey Williams argues that the client did not intentionally ingest THC. Mickey calls several witnesses who corroborate our client’s defense and Mickey argues that the Government did not meet their burden of proof. Mickey calls several character witnesses to testify about our client’s good character and courage under fire. After just 20 minutes, the Board elects to retain our client.
RESULT: Fully RETAINED NO OTH. Retirement saved. Benefits kept.
