When the Marine Corps initiates administrative separation, experienced defense attorneys can help you safeguard your career, challenge unfair allegations, and fight for the retention you have earned through your service.
Administrative Separation Puts Your Entire Future at Risk
An administrative separation (ADSEP) board is one of the most consequential processes a Marine can face. Unlike NJP or minor disciplinary actions, separation proceedings can remove you from the Corps, end your military career, revoke benefits, and leave you with a stigmatizing discharge characterization.
Commands often move quickly, relying on incomplete investigations or one-sided interpretations of events. Many Marines do not fully understand their rights—or how much influence they can have—before the board convenes.
Military Justice Attorneys provides strong, strategic representation for Marines facing separation due to alleged misconduct, substandard performance, drug involvement, pattern of behavior, or other bases for separation. As former Marine Judge Advocates, our attorneys understand the culture, expectations, and realities of Marine Corps service, allowing us to mount an aggressive and informed defense aimed at preserving your rightful place in the Corps.
