Mr. Grover Baxley, I am relieved as much as I am impressed with your hard work and dedication to this case. Here is my review: This was a false positive urinalysis case. I consulted Mr. Grover Baxley briefly over the phone. He knew which questions to ask, and gave advice even before the retainer fee was paid. At this point, he was polite, professional, but also detail-oriented on initial questioning. He outlined the lengthy military legal process, as well as his fee schedule. On paying the retainer fee, Mr. Baxley gave clear instructions on the items needed from me, including a rather detailed "Love Me" document -- basically a binder of my entire life including disciplinary actions, CVs, and accomplishments/awards. Mr. Grover Baxley will work behind the scenes. For some people, at times, you may feel as though there is no progress in the case, and that this is all a test of patience. However, and especially on discovery of evidence, Mr. Baxley will be prepared to cross-examine -- will be prepared to use even the government's own witnesses. If you have an engaged Area Defense Counsel team, this will make your defense even stronger. Mr. Baxley will call occasionally for updates, to clarify information, and to schedule conference calls for larger updates. In my case, Mr. Baxley arrived in the area the week before a scheduled trial. I was able to meet Mr. Baxley in person at this time, and we were able to discuss the upcoming process in depth. I was assured that my defense team was as prepared as it could be. Mr. Baxley engaged the courtroom during the trial. He strategically cross-examined and was careful with his questioning. And his closing arguments evoked in me emotions I'm sure I shared with some jury members. Thank you for all your hard work and dedication to this case. You were blessed with an important gift in life -- a much-needed voice of defense for our service members across the country. Good luck in the rest of your journey, and give my best to your family.

If you’re where I was just 7 months ago, you’re in a bad spot, with your career, reputation, and everything else you’ve worked your butt off for in jeopardy. I searched for the BEST military lawyer upon being notified of an allegation of a positive urinalysis result for marijuana. Having never done the drug my entire life, and knowing the government wanted to bring charges against me, I knew I faced an uphill battle and long road ahead. I submitted a form, giving a brief synopsis on what I was up against, and Grover quickly called me back. Right away, I knew I had found my lawyer to defend me as I navigated this nightmare of a process. Today, I type this with an immense amount of relief, as Grover successfully won the BOI, convincing the panel members their claims were UNSUBSTANTIATED and that I had committed NO MISCONDUCT! Being accused of something you know you didn’t do, and coming to terms with something that can have devastating, lifelong implications is horrifying, but Grover never faltered as the government made every attempt at kicking me out. This man is worth triple his price and is worth his weight in gold. The joy and relief I feel, after being able to put this all behind me is simply indescribable. I don’t think it’s fully settled in yet that I can now put all this in my rear view mirror, and move forward with my career, along with my reputation and dignity in tact. If you’re being charged, then you need to fight back. Not tomorrow, not now, but YESTERDAY!!! Don’t hesitate to hire Grover so he can start fighting back. He’s easily the best military lawyer, and the way he shoots the prosecution down is simply a work of art. I owe Grover my life and am forever indebted to him. The road wasn’t easy, or quick, but as I lay here and give hope to others who find themselves in the same place I was back in March, I assure you that Grover is THE MAN for the job. Thank you for everything Grover. I’ll never forget you and words simply cannot describe how grateful I am for all your amazing work.

I contacted Mr. Baxley in February of 2022 after a positive urinalysis result. Not knowing how this result came to be I knew I needed an expert. I have 12 years of honorable service (active and guard) with no history of ever being in trouble. Mr. Baxley commanded the board room and after two days of the hearing, the final result was no misconduct, retained in the Air National Guard. Now I can continue to serve until retirement. If you are in need of an expert, Mr. Baxley is your guy.

When I found out I had a positive urinalysis for amphetamines I was in complete shock. At the time my wife had started taking Adderall and I was on a new prescription with a high chance of causing a False positive for D-Amph. Either I had mistakenly taken my wife’s Adderall (she sets out medication out for us) or this was a false positive. Thinking this was most likely the latter I was completely transparent with my command and then CID. My command stood behind me and said they did not want to pursue with any punishment. Unfortunately, since it was a positive urinalysis the Army (CG) decided to push for a punishment. Giving me a choice of an Article 15 or a Court Martial. TDS blew me off and I knew I would have to get a civilian lawyer. When looking for lawyers I came upon Mr. Baxley’s website, I was hoping to hire him, but the costs were more than I thought. Thinking this was an open and shut situation-my command supported me, my career was spotless, top block OER’s (even after incident), support from present to past leaders, I hired a less expensive less experienced lawyer. I opted for a court martial knowing I did not knowingly ingest an amphetamine knowingly. The Army did not have enough evidence to pursue UCMJ and instead they gave me a GOMAR ruining my career. My then lawyer drafted up a GOMAR response which I had objections about the response he drafted but his response was everything should work out. He was hard to talk to and just brushed my concerns off and provided no reassurance that someone needs in this situation. My concerns were founded and my GOMAR was permanently filed. The Army then initiated a separation without any other evidence. I decided that not only did I need a better lawyer but a lawyer that will treat me like a person. Not just a nuisance or a number on their schedule. I then hired Mr. Grover, from the first conversation I had with him he made me feel like I mattered. I was finally being heard and my family was being heard. He prepped for a BOI with diligence and took my multiple phone calls leading up to it. Although it did take some time for him to get back to me, he always did. The day of the BOI I found out why at times his responses weren’t as prompt. He is so sought after that he travels around the world to different cases frequently. Mr. Grover is so good at his profession, and he carries himself with confidence and precision. Watching him shoot down everything that the prosecution had during the BOI was truly humbling and to be in the presence of someone who truly is at the top of their profession. I was found with NO MISCONDUCT AND RETAINED! My only regret is not hiring Mr. Grover sooner, my family and I would have saved ourselves a lot of heart ache. Do not settle for TDS who have no investment in you as a soldier and opt to protect yourself with the best legal defense on the market. Thank you, Mr. Grover, for not treating military members as just a number. We are used to not being heard and being camouflaged in this system that we think it’s all we deserve. Don’t settle, fight for your truth, keep pushing and hire Mr. Grover!

From the point of reaching out to the day of the admin separation board, Mr. Baxley has been there to work through issues, he quickly returned emails and phone calls with information on how to proceed. Mr. Baxley was an upmost professional! I needed help to salvage my 17 year career after a positive UA for cocaine and Mr. Baxley saved it! He knew the right questions to ask and had the attention of the board members. Thank you for the great representation and thank you for always being available!

I hired Mr. Baxley when I was accused of popping hot on a military urinalysis, he was very knowledgeable about the process from the beginning and every step went exactly as he said it would. When it came to the trial he was well prepared and extremely knowledgeable. He cultivated a very good defenses and it lead to a not guilty verdict. He is extremely talented at what he does and extremely professional, I highly suggest contacting him and his firm for legal representation.

I was a SSG(P) with 12 years in the Army and after this case I kept my status and everything. I first got notification of a failed UA in March 2020. I did some research and was stuck between 3 Defensive civilian lawyers and chose Mr. Baxley and Thank God I did because he saved my life and my career. Got read a Field Grade Article 15 in July 2020 and got referred to a Special Court Martial in January 2021. Went to trial and was fully Acquitted the first week of August 2021. From the first time I spoke with Mr.Baxley he was extremely professional, knowledgeable and well prepared. As we went along in the process we had a few things that could have ruined my case in trial but Mr. Baxley knew exactly what to do. His performance in trial was unmatched the government could not even keep up, when he speaks in trial you will definitely be in awe as he has brought everything to the table that you would expect and more. If you are in trouble with the military and are facing anything DONT hesitate to call Jag Defense I promise you it will be the best decision of your life and career. My hat goes off to your Mr. Baxley Thank You for everything God Bless.

I had two positive urinalysis (medical & command directed) results for THC and was facing an Administrative Separation from the Air Force after 17.5 years of service. Not comfortable entrusting my career to only the Govt assigned counsel, I immediately began my search for an attorney. I came across jagdefense.com and started reading many of the reviews from people in my exact same predicament. I then contacted Mr. Baxley to explain my situation and see if would be willing to take my case. From our first conversation I was convinced how well-versed he was in Military Law and his superior knowledge of suspected drug abuse cases. And I immediately knew I wanted Mr. Baxley to represent me throughout this process. This was not without much pain and stress as I had been issued an LOR, UIF, placed on a Control Roster, had my security clearances suspended and demoted from E-7 to E-6. Everything was looking bleak and I did not have much hope of regaining all that was lost, let alone being able to finish my career and retire. From the moment my Board hearing began I felt a resounding shift from despair to optimism and it had everything to do with Mr. Baxleys handling of my case. He is extremely organized and professional! His approach to connecting with the panel members and orchestrating the best defense possible is quite amazing. He presents everything in a clear, concise order and makes information very easy to understand and follow. There are no delays or inaccuracies in his delivery and he gives the impression that the prosecution is beyond their depth. His closing arguments were simply phenomenal and I felt that every aspect had been covered and re-enforced many times over that the panel would have a difficult decision. Then to my surprise after only approximately 40 minutes of deliberation the board returned with a Unanimous Decision of No Misconduct on all charges. I was overwhelmed with a ton of emotions and so relieved that I would be able to continue my career. Mr. Baxley congratulated me on this result but then quickly said "we're not done yet. Let's now focus on getting that demotion overturned." Currently we are in the process of filing the appeals but I wanted to take this opportunity to extend my sincere gratitude to Mr. Baxley for saving my career. I have no doubts that things would have turned out much differently, and very likely for the worst, if he did not represent me. I would definitely recommend your services to anyone facing a similar situation as mine. The testimonials are 100% true and I am so grateful to be adding my name to your growing list of satisfied clients. Once again, Thank you!!

If you are looking to win your court martial , I recommend hiring Mr. Baxley. He is very through and will do everything in his power to get you the best result possible. If its a naked urinalysis case , he will win. He is worth every penny. Just dont screw up after he wins, I learned my lesson the hard way.

I am a Staff Sergeant in the US Army, I was told I had allegedly tested positive on a UA. I immediately consulted and then hired Mr. Baxley as my counsel, He made it very easy for me to understand the entire process. Everything Mr. Baxley said the Government would do or try happened. Over the course of a year we finally went to Court martial where Mr. Baxley ensured to keep me positive and calm through the two day trial. Mr. Baxley made the prosecution side look extremely foolish and like rookies, he was also able to have the prosecution witnesses ultimately admit they did nothing according to black and white and failed to do their job correctly. At the end of day two with the help of Mr. Baxley at my side the jury came back with a Not Guilty verdict and I was fully acquitted of all charges. I highly recommend Mr. Baxley and his team to anyone who is trying to save their career!!!! Mr. Baxley is an extremely experienced and knowledgeable attorney.

Mr. Baxley is without a doubt one of the sharpest, yet down to earth individuals I've met during my quest to find representation. From the start it was clear he was a strategician and actually listened to the facts and was not dying to take my money like other high profile attorneys were. We discussed the case, discussed the cost, made payment arrangements and started gathering things for the court date. When that day arrived and we received the judgement we were after, it was clearly the best investment I could have made in securing my families future.

I decided to reach out to Mr. Baxley after being charged with misconduct on false allegations by a junior officer. The moment I discussed the matter with him I knew he would be the right fit for my situation. He took the time to explain the whole process to me so I could understand what was to take place. After adding him to my team he immediately took control and had a game plan. He definitely took the time to learn every aspect of my case. He was available whenever I had questions. During my special court martial hearing, he completely controlled the court room. His professionalism and wealth of knowledge on Military Law was shown immediately. He put in his all and focused on my case to prove my innocence. After a 3 day trial, I was found not guilty on the charges presented. I would highly recommend Defense Attorney Grover Baxley to any military member who is seeking help in regards to legal military matters. USCG E7
