Non-Judicial Punishment (NJP)

Military Criminal Defense Attorneys: Serving Those Who Serve Our Nation

When accused of a minor offense, a military personnel may be recommended for non-judicial punishment, or NJP. These hearings are also referred to as Article 15s.

Trust your case to a former military member who is well versed and deeply familiar with the unique situations of military law and life.
