Gagne, Scherer & Associates, LLC is a specialized law firm dedicated exclusively to military criminal defense, focusing on cases governed by the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ). Comprised of former JAG attorneys with over 50 years of combined experience, the firm stands out for its global reach, aggressive advocacy, and deep understanding of both military and federal court systems.
The firm leverages its unique dual expertise in military and federal practice to defend service members worldwide, emphasizing that they are not part of the military system and can provide independent, tenacious representation. They specialize in creating a robust defense for clients facing investigations or court-martial proceedings, particularly in complex and high-stakes cases involving sex offenses, classified evidence, and senior officer misconduct. Their approach is tailored to level an uneven playing field, where government resources vastly outweigh those of appointed defense counsel.
