Military Legal Guides for Worldwide Bases

Global Defense Resources for Service Members Stationed Around the World

Wherever you serve, the laws of the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ) apply. Whether you’re stationed at a U.S. base, deployed abroad, or serving on a joint command, military justice follows you everywhere. Gonzalez & Waddington, Attorneys at Law created this worldwide network of military legal guides to help Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen, Marines, and Guardians understand their rights, prepare for investigations, and find the best military defense lawyers for their location.

Our firm has defended service members in over a dozen countries — from Germany, Italy, and Japan to Kuwait, Bahrain, and Korea. These guides provide localized insights into court-martials, administrative separation boards, Article 120 sexual assault allegations, Article 134 conduct offenses, and command investigations that arise at each installation.
