I’ve Been Convicted of a Crime in Civilian Court. Can the Military Prosecute me for the Same Crime?
Members of the military often believe they cannot be prosecuted in both the military courts and civilian courts. Most have heard of the concept of double jeopardy. However, civilian criminal law and the UCMJ are similar but different. In this video, Robert Capovilla and Mickey Williams of the Law Firm Shewmaker & Shewmaker discuss double jeopardy, civilian courts and the UCMJ.
Military Divorce: The Court says the Service Can Divide the Pension. What Happens?
Dividing pension benefits in any divorce can create conflict and tension. Service members and their spouses are often at odds when it comes to this issue. All 50 states treat military pensions as marital or community property and a state court can award a portion of military pension benefits to the spouse even in marriages that last less than a year. In this video, Steve Shewmaker and Alexa Lewis of the Law Firm Shewmaker & Shewmaker discuss what can happen in divorces where one party is the spouse of a service member.
What is “Titling” in a Military Investigation?
Titling occurs when a military investigative service names an individual as a subject in a criminal investigation report. It is not a judicial or legal action and does not mean an individual has been arrested, charged or convicted of a crime. The ramifications of being titled, however, can be far reaching and damaging for the service member, impacting promotional, security clearance and military assignment decisions. The titling can even impact the service member after their military career is over – impacting future civilian employment. Steve Shewmaker and Mickey Williams of the Law Firm Shewmaker & Shewmaker discuss titling, how it can impact service members and what you should do if you’ve been titled.
