Fortis Military Defense, LLC has established itself as a dedicated legal resource for members of the U.S. Armed Forces navigating complex military justice systems. Founded by former Army JAG Corps attorney Sean C. H. Flood, the firm focuses exclusively on military law, representing Soldiers, Marines, Sailors, Airmen, and Guardians facing investigations, administrative hearings, military criminal charges, and other legal challenges that can significantly impact military careers.
The firm's importance stems from its specialized expertise in an area of law that civilian attorneys often lack experience with. Military justice operates under the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ), which has distinct procedures, rules, and consequences compared to civilian legal systems. When servicemembers face legal challenges, their military careers, reputations, and even freedom can be at stake, making competent representation crucial.
Attorney Flood brings over 15 years of military law experience, including nearly a decade of service in the U.S. Army JAG Corps with deployments to Afghanistan and Syria. His combat-zone experience advising commanders on the Law of Armed Conflict and Rules of Engagement, combined with extensive courtroom experience in courts-martial and administrative proceedings, provides clients with representation that understands both the legal and operational realities of military service. Flood's military commendations include the Bronze Star Medal (Meritorious), Meritorious Service Medal, and three Army Commendation Medals.
Fortis Military Defense handles a comprehensive range of military legal matters including military law enforcement investigations, sexual harassment and equal opportunity cases, administrative investigations, separation boards, Article 15 non-judicial punishment proceedings, and representation before Boards for the Correction of Military Records and Discharge Review Boards. The firm also assists veterans in applying to these boards to correct military records or upgrade discharges for benefits eligibility.
The firm's services address critical needs in the military community where legal missteps can have career-ending consequences. Proper representation during investigations and hearings can mean the difference between continued service and involuntary separation, between maintaining a clean record and facing permanent adverse notations, and between accessing veteran benefits or being denied them due to discharge characterization.
Headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia, but representing clients globally, Fortis Military Defense offers confidential consultations and steadfast representation for servicemembers regardless of location. The firm maintains an online presence at https://fortismilitaryattorneys.com/ where potential clients can learn more about their services. For servicemembers facing legal challenges within the military justice system, specialized representation like that offered by Fortis Military Defense provides essential protection of rights and careers in a system where the stakes are particularly high.
