Military Drug Defense Lawyers in Mt. Pleasant, SC

Contact Our Firm for Military Drug Charge Defense in Mt. Pleasant

If you are a servicemember accused of a drug offense, you should seek an experienced defense counsel immediately. Drug offenses can end your career, depriving you of the benefits that you’ve earned, like millions of dollars in retirement pay and the GI Bill. Whether your command chooses to Article 15 / NJP and administratively separate you, or court-martial you, there is no question that in the military, you are often looked at as guilty until proven innocent, despite the presumption of innocence that the law is supposed to give you.

Having run military defense offices, we know that positive urinalysis cases are often given to the most junior and inexperienced JAGs. In light of the zero-tolerance policy that every branch of service has, if you value your career, you need professional help. If you are in danger of facing military discharge for drug use contact one of our military drug lawyers today.

Experienced Mt. Pleasant Military Defense Team at Your Service

At The Hanzel Law Firm, we have defended service members facing positive urinalysis, drug abuse, and drug distribution charges for drugs ranging from marijuana (THC), spice, cocaine, crack, LSD, methamphetamines, and Ecstasy to prescription drugs and steroids.

Attorney Michael Hanzel has defended countless service members charged with drug offenses, worked with and cross-examined drug lab experts, and taught many of the Navy’s young JAGs how to defend these cases. Whether in the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines or Coast Guard, the earlier you bring your case to us, the better off you will be.

Hear From Our Past Clients

    “This is the firm to choose to defend your clinical privileges and reputation”
    I became embroiled in a clinical adverse action with DHA and retained the Hanzel Law Firm to assist me in restoring my hard-earned reputation. Mike, Lauren, and Marshal all had involvement and provided excellent advice as well as were instrumental in dismantling the DHA case at the hearing and securing and restoring my medical privileges and reputation. Through the morass of a changing and unresponsive administrative environment from DHA, they were there for me all the way. In the increasingly hostile clinical arena of DHA, this is the firm to choose to defend your clinical privileges and reputation.
