• Military tribunals
• Espionage
• Criminal immigration removals and deportations

USA Patriot Act and terrorism

If you believe that you or a family member is under investigation for violations of the Patriot Act, it is critical that you seek legal representation immediately. The full power of the United States government will be arrayed against you. At Denner Pellegrino, LLP, we believe that everyone, regardless of political affiliation, is entitled to a strong defense. We have the resources and experience to take on even the biggest opponents.

U.S. military personnel

Army, Navy, Air Force and Marine personnel are subject to criminal penalties through non-judicial procedures, Article 15, or the process of military court-martial. Some armed services personnel choose to use a civilian attorney in addition to their assigned military lawyer. Our lawyers will work with your military attorney whether you are facing special court-martial, general court-martial or an administrative elimination proceeding. We also defend military personnel charged with high profile crimes such as rape, murder and drug crimes, in civilian courts throughout the world.

Military discharge

Denner Pellegrino, LLP, represents people who cannot, will not, or will no longer serve in the military for reasons of health, mental health or conscience. We help them seek a military discharge.

• Initial investigation
