If you’re a service member under investigation or facing prosecution by the Office of Special Trial Counsel (OSTC), you’re up against one of the most powerful legal arms in the U.S. military justice system. The OSTC was established to independently handle serious offenses such as sexual assault, domestic violence, and other high-profile crimes. Unlike traditional command-driven military justice, the OSTC operates with autonomy and is laser-focused on prosecution.

Facing prosecution by the Office of Special Trial Counsel (OSTC)?

If you are being prosecuted by the OSTC, you need a strong, strategic defense.

What Is the Office of Special Trial Counsel (OSTC)?

The OSTC is part of a sweeping reform under the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) aimed at addressing concerns about bias and a lack of transparency in the military justice system. Prosecutors from the OSTC are specially trained, experienced, and independent from your command. They are backed by significant legal and investigative resources—and they are determined to win.

When you are being targeted by the OSTC, it’s not just a case. It’s a full-force prosecution with long-term consequences on your career, freedom, and future.

Why You Can’t (And Shouldn't) Rely on the Military Defense Counsel Alone

While uniformed defense counsel (DSO, TDS or ADC) are available to you at no cost, they are often overworked and under-resourced. They are often inexperienced, junior officers with only a few trials and few years experience under their belt. They may not have the time or freedom to build the comprehensive defense strategy you need.

When your career, reputation, and freedom are on the line, relying solely on a government-appointed attorney isn’t enough.

Every civilian military defense attorney at Korody Law has more experience than your detailed military defense counsel. That experience translates into your defense strategy and impacts the outcome of your case.
