Administrative Discharge Boards
Administrative Discharge Notification Actions

The type of discharge a military member receives can
have serious long-term consequences for the member's
prospects for success in the civilian world as well as
benefits that they may be entitled to. Military members
are often advised that a military discharge "automatically"
upgrades after six months and rely on this misinformation
in making the decision to fight or not fight a discharge.
This is absolutely false. When a military member is
facing discharge, they need to have well-informed
advice from counsel who have the client's best interests
in mind, and not a "barracks lawyer" or someone who is
just trying to move their case along quickly.

Depending upon a military member's years in service,
rank, and the type of discharge being sought, they may
also be entitled to a discharge board. This is a vitally
important right which should not be given up lightly.

We represent members facing administrative discharge
boards and administrative discharge notification (paper
only) actions. In doing so, we strive to obtain the best
possible result for the client whether that is retention on
active duty or a particular characterization of service
(e.g., honorable).

Do not face a discharge board or a notification action
alone and without knowing your rights!

If you are facing a discharge notification or a discharge
board, please call us toll-free at 1-877-569-6941 for help.
