What It Takes to Defend Military Clients 6,000 Miles Away

Most civilian defense attorneys avoid overseas military cases. I built my entire practice around them.

In this episode, I talk about what it really takes to defend clients 6,000 miles away from home why the travel isn’t just hard, it’s brutal, and how I’ve spent the last 15 years mastering the logistics and rhythms required to operate at a high level across continents.


I walk through what people don’t see: the 20-hour flights, the jet lag, the back-to-back trials across Asia and Europe, and the kind of mental and physical discipline it takes to perform at your peak when your body is still 12 time zones behind. I’ve literally circumnavigated the globe three times this year for client cases. Most lawyers can’t do that once without falling apart.


You’ll also hear what I do to prevent disasters like packing extra suits, planning for lost luggage, and staying healthy in countries where I don’t have access to military treatment facilities. And I’ll tell you how I make clients feel supported, even when I’m halfway around the world.


If you’re a service member stationed overseas and worried no one’s coming to help, know this: I’m not just willing to travel. I’ve trained my entire firm to win when others wouldn’t even show up.
