FORT SHAFTER
At Bilecki Law Group, We believe every service member has earned their right to an aggressive defense on their day in court. We specialize in taking the fight to the prosecution and winning cases that others said were unwinnable.
Ft. Shafter is the headquarters of the United States Army Pacific and has the distinction of being the oldest U.S. military base in Hawaii. Known by Hawaiian service members as the “Pineapple Pentagon”, Ft. Shafter is a critical U.S. Army installation which commands the vast majority of the forces in the Asia-Pacific region.
Commanding officers come and go from Ft. Shafter, but one thing remains the same: no Army official, however high in rank, is safe from criminal accusations and the threat of a court-martial. Should you be convicted of an offense, you could lose everything you’ve worked so hard to achieve in an instant.
- You have put years, perhaps decades into the military. But prosecutors only need one accusation to rob you of your rank and title.
- The life you’ve built for yourself and your family is in dire risk of being demolished. Your pension, healthcare, and salary could be taken from you overnight.
- You may face far worse than a dishonorable discharge. Incarceration, thousands of dollars in fines, and your name on a public sex offender list are just some of the threats you face.
You’ve worked too hard to watch your military career be destroyed in front of your eyes by malicious accusations. Call Bilecki Law Group TODAY and start fighting back against your charges.
