Best Adoption Lawyers in Anchorage, AK

Our team achieved a huge victory today for a client of ours that is a service member. Our client is an outstanding member of the Coast Guard for over 10 years. A few months ago, our client was arrested for suspected DUI on Joint Base Elmendorf-Richrdson while there on medical leave. Unfortunately, even though there were many extenuating circumstances, and a lack of command support that got him to that place, the Coast Guard still moved forward to initiate separation proceedings against him.nnAs a result of attorney Alexis Howell’s excellent advocacy, with the support from paralegals Natasha Delon and Alicia Braunschweig, our team was able to show the separation board that our client’s service was more than this one incident. Rather, this issue was a “one-off” from an otherwise outstanding member of the community and fantastic service member. nnUltimately the separation board found and recommended that (1) there was no legal basis to separate the client from military service; (2) that the client should be retained in service; that should the convening authority decide to separate the client, he should receive an Honorable Characterization of Service; and that should the convening authority decide separation is appropriate, that separation should be converted to probation.nnToday’s result is a direct reflection of the hard work that our client has accomplished. He accepted responsibility for his actions and demonstrated that he is capable of being rehabilitated. Moreover, should he leave military service, his honorable service will be characterized as such. Our team is very happy for our client, and we wish our client the best of luck in the remainder of his military career! nnOur team of veterans takes pride in standing up for the rights of fellow service members!
