When your command announces its intent to impose Non-Judicial Punishment, experienced defense attorneys can help you evaluate your options, protect your rights, and fight to preserve your reputation and future in the Marine Corps.
NJP Can Threaten Your Career in an Instant
For Marines, Non-Judicial Punishment—commonly known as NJP, Office Hours, or Captain’s Mast—can have immediate and lasting effects, including loss of rank, reduced pay, restrictions, and irreparable career setbacks. Many Marines feel pressured to simply “take the Mast,” unaware that they have rights, choices, and strategic considerations that may drastically alter the outcome.
Military Justice Attorneys understands how quickly NJP proceedings move and how frequently commands rely on incomplete or one-sided information when deciding whether allegations are substantiated. Whether you need help deciding whether to accept or refuse NJP, preparing a rebuttal package, or appealing an unjust punishment, our team stands ready to defend your service and your future.
