Board for Correction of Military Record (BCMR)

Experienced Military Record Correction and BCMR Attorneys

Do you believe there is an error on your official military record? Such an oversight can have a direct impact on your job, wellbeing and ability to provide for your family. It should be taken care of as quickly as possible. But you can’t just log onto a website and make the change yourself.

In fact, it can take years of following the most carefully detailed procedures to secure a change in military records, which is why you should work with military record correction and BCMR attorneys if you need to alter something. Our attorneys, who have helped people in Virginia, Washington, D.C., Maryland and across the country, can walk you through this time-consuming procedure.

Boards For Correction Of Military Records (BCMR) Attorneys

*Important note: We are not the Board for Correction of Military Records. We assist with petitioning the BCMR, but are not the actual Board.

At the Federal Practice Group, we are dedicated to helping our servicemen and women in need of legal support. If you are considering a petition to the boards for correction of military or naval records, BCMR or BCNR, allow one of the aggressive and experienced lawyers assist you. These boards give military personnel the option to review any record that they wish to change within three years of the error being made. At times, it is difficult for a serviceman or woman to quickly and effectively reach the Board, but an attorney can help you today.

Our country’s military justice system is complex and very unique and it takes a special type of lawyer to be successful in winning cases for the men and women of the U.S. military. The firm has aggressive attorneys who travel worldwide to defend members of the military. Changes made to your military records are based on the board’s discretion, and sometimes people don’t go forward with their cases because they are unsure if they can win. In some cases, the Board may not rule in the service member’s favor, and the service member will be afforded the opportunity to appeal their case to the Court of Federal Claims. The issues brought before the Court of Federal Claims will be confined to the issues brought before the Board. Most individuals are unaware of the Court of Federal Claims until after the Board denied their application. It is important to have an experienced military attorney review your case prior to submitting to the Board so that you do not forfeit any issues should you have to appeal. A military defense lawyer can help you decide if you have a legitimate case to bring to either the Board or the Court of Federal Claims and will work to find the best solution for you.

About BCMR Petitions

Petitioning the BCMR can be a daunting proposition. For a service man or woman, it is often difficult to reach the BCMR quickly to hear one’s case. In addition, any changes that are made to a person’s military record are completely at the discretion of the board’s members. This can dissuade a person from filing their petition at all, as they may be unsure that they can win their case. In some cases, the Board may not rule in the service member’s favor, and the service member will be afforded the opportunity to appeal their case to the Court of Federal Claims. The issues brought before the Court of Federal Claims will be confined to the issues brought before the Board.

Most individuals are unaware of the Court of Federal Claims until after the Board denied their application. It is important to have an experienced military attorney review your case prior to submitting to the Board so that you do not forfeit any issues should you have to appeal. A military defense lawyer can help you decide if you have a legitimate case to bring to either the Board or the Court of Federal Claims and will work to find the best solution for you. An experienced attorney can help an individual determine if their case has merit, and if so, devise a legal strategy that is designed to get results.

Let Our Firm Assist You With Your Record Correction Request

Whether it is a criminal investigation for a wrongful accusation or an inaccuracy or injustice in your military file, an error in your military record can have an impact on your military career and potentially follow you as you transition to civilian life. Knowing which agency to apply for correction through or the correct terminology to use to ensure a successful correction can be daunting and confusing. A military attorney can assist you through the process. Do not let errors in your military record affect your future.

Criminal Records Correction

Criminal investigations are often initiated based on an accusation. Even if the accusation is wrongful, the criminal investigation may remain on your record. Depending on the outcome of the investigation, you may be able to have your name removed from the subject line or have the investigation deemed unfounded. If the investigation resulted in a particular disposition, you would need to ensure that the disposition is accurately reflected in the FBI’s database. A failure to correct these errors can have negative consequences. Attempting to effect these changes on your own can be both daunting and confusing. If you have an issue with your criminal record, do not hesitate to contact an attorney with successful experience in making these kinds of corrections.
