Protect Your Future with a Court Martial Attorney
Joint Base Pearl Harbor—Hickam is a joint Navy-Air Force installation located in the historic Pearl Harbor on the southeast side of the island of Oahu, HI. The base is home to over 160 commands and includes housing for tens of thousands of active duty and reserve service members and their families.
As the premier military installation in Hawaii with the largest military presence, Pearl Harbor-Hickam is no stranger to court-martial activity.
Many Navy and Air Force personnel have discovered the hard way that the service to their country means nothing once they’ve been accused of a criminal offense in the military.
- Most service members at Pearl Harbor-Hickam have traveled thousands of miles to be there, and many of them have taken their families. A conviction could leave your family struggling to make their way back to the U.S. mainland while you are hauled off to prison.
- Not all convictions will result in a prison sentence, but that doesn’t mean you’ll escape with your rank and title intact. A dishonorable discharge could force you out of the military and put your G.I. benefits and retirement at risk of being taken from you.
- Even non-judicial punishments such as a Captain’s Mast or Office Hours have been known to end military careers. Every missed opportunity to advance your rank or pay grade makes it that much more obvious that the military no longer wants you.
Navy and Air Force service members stationed at Pearl Harbor-Hickam have fought bravely for their country. Now, let us fight for you.

Pearl Harbor-Hickam History and Court-Martial Activity
Established on Oahu’s south shore in the early 1900’s, Pearl Harbor became America’s first naval establishment in the Pacific and quickly grew to include hundreds of additional acres in the surrounding area.
Hickam Airfield, which merged nearby army and navy air station facilities, was activated in 1938. In 2010, Pearl Harbor and Hickam were merged as part of the Base Closure and Realignment Commission of 2005.
Pearl Harbor became a rallying cry for America’s armed forces during World War 2, when the Japanese sneak attack destroyed four American battleships, damaged four others, and leftover 3,500 armed forces personnel dead or wounded.
