Bill Meili's military law practice draws heavily on over twenty-five years of experience as an active duty and reserve Judge Advocate General (JAG).

Our practice champions Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen and Marines – be they enlisted or officer, active or reserve – facing serious, potentially career-ending charges. Such charges include UCMJ criminal charges; adverse administrative, involuntary separations; or involuntary discharges (for either performance related issues or for alleged misconduct).

We have been focused on one primary goal since starting the practice nineteen years ago: we save careers, protect retirements, and reclaim the reputations and honor of those who serve this country.
