Minnesota Military Judge Advocate (JAG)
Captain Christopher Keyser currently serves as a Judge Advocate (JAG) in the U.S. Army Reserves. As a civilian, Captain Keyser is a criminal defense attorney who understands the consequences of military service members facing criminal charges.
If you are an active, reserve, or veteran servicemember facing criminal charges in Minnesota, you need a defense lawyer who understands “both sides.” Many civilian defense attorneys do not understand the impact a criminal conviction can have on a military career. As a Soldier, Officer and defense lawyer, Captain Keyser understands the unique issues surrounding our servicemembers’ legal problems.
Effects of Criminal Convictions on Servicemembers
Depending on your state, federal, or military criminal charges, a conviction can have disastrous effects on your military career. Many criminal convictions lead to courts martial, administrative separations from the military, or create bars to reenlistment – all effectively ending your military career. Other offenses, such as assaults, can restrict your right to carry a firearm which can also end your service career. Servicemembers charged with criminal offenses require special representation. Having a private criminal defense attorney who is also a Judge Advocate will increase your chances of success.
U.S. Citizenship for Military Members
Members of the U.S. Armed Forces may be eligible for U.S. citizenship by qualifying for naturalization through military service under Section 328 or 329 of the Immigration & Naturalization Act.
