I am being subjected to a military police investigation. Can I receive legal counseling within the military?

Soldiers involved in military cases may have difficulty receiving legal support because they cannot easily leave the base.

However, military criminal attorneys can directly visit and meet with soldiers within the base for these soldiers.

Through this, they can understand the progress of the case and, based on specialized knowledge in military cases, establish strategies favorable for future military police investigations and trials.

Since military cases may involve not only criminal punishment but also disciplinary action under the Military Personnel Act, if you are involved in a case, it is necessary to receive close legal counseling with experts.

▶ Military case proceedings procedure

① Occurrence of case: Criminal cases occur through complaints, accusations, or investigative agency awareness

② Initial fact verification: Military police investigation is conducted, and if charges are recognized, the case is referred to the military prosecutor for investigation

③ Determination of processing direction: The military prosecutor decides on prosecution or non-prosecution based on the verified facts

④ Criminal procedure/disciplinary procedure: If prosecuted, military trial proceeds at the military court

Since military cases follow special regulations and procedures different from general civil or criminal cases, expert advice can be said to be essential.

Please note that it is advantageous to find solutions through the assistance of a military criminal attorney who sets the direction of investigation statements in areas such as military discipline, military criminal law, state compensation, and defense industry, and provides close defense from investigation to conclusion.
