Military Discharge Upgrade Lawyers

Discharge and Separation Defense

Involuntary Separations are usually processed with the intent to have the service member separated with a less than honorable discharge, such as a general discharge or an other than honorable (OTH). Upon separation, your DD 214 becomes your resume to future employers. A discharge that is less than honorable will impact your ability to become gainfully employed. It can also impact your eligibility for certain veterans’ benefits. It requires dedication and hard work to become a member of the world’s most elite military. Your hard work and dedication should be reflected on your DD 214.

Military Discharge Upgrades

Receiving anything other than an honorable discharge from any branch of military service can have serious repercussions on the rest of your life. Not only can your VA benefits be negatively affected, you may also find it difficult to acquire employment. It is important that you contact a skilled court martial lawyer as soon as you can to assist you in successfully pursuing a discharge upgrade request. Your future is at stake. The firm will use all available resources to help you achieve a favorable result so you can confidently move toward a brighter future. Discharge upgrade requests are heard by the Discharge Review Board. They will examine a case to determine if an upgrade can be granted.

Several factors will be considered including:

  • The reason for the discharge
  • The length of time that has passed since the discharge
  • Your record of community service
  • Your employment record
  • Your general conduct
  • Educational achievements
  • Family relationships
  • Reference letters
