Criminal Defense for Justice-Involved Veterans

The term “Justice-Involved Veterans” refers to former service members who have been arrested, charged, and/or imprisoned within the criminal justice system.

Challenges Faced by Justice-Involved Veterans

More than half of these individuals suffer from mental health issues related to their service, like PTSD or substance abuse problems. Finding alternatives to incarceration for justice-involved veterans is a priority for SKJ and an area of niche expertise for SKJ partner Judge Marc C. Carter (Ret.).
