Defending Service Members Across Joint Base San Antonio
San Antonio is known as “Military City, USA” — home to Joint Base San Antonio (JBSA), the largest joint base in the Department of Defense. Managed by the 502nd Air Base Wing, JBSA brings together Fort Sam Houston, Lackland Air Force Base, Randolph Air Force Base, Camp Bullis, and Martindale Army Airfield. Tens of thousands of active-duty members, Reservists, and Guardsmen are stationed across these installations, and each one generates courts-martial, administrative separations, and UCMJ investigations.
Fort Sam Houston is the Army’s medical hub, home to Army Medical Command, the Medical Center of Excellence, and Brooke Army Medical Center. Lackland is the Air Force’s only site for enlisted Basic Military Training and a center for cyber and intelligence operations. Randolph hosts Headquarters Air Education and Training Command and the Air Force Personnel Center. When you are accused of an offense at any JBSA installation, the government has experienced trial counsel and investigators from Army CID, Air Force OSI, and NCIS building the case against you. Military Trial Defenders knows how cases are investigated and prosecuted in San Antonio — and how to fight them.

What Our Clients Say
“After being falsely accused of three felony-level offenses and hit with a permanently filed GOMOR, I knew I needed legal help immediately.
