\"Know<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For any military member who has been read their rights under Article 31, or believes they might be under investigation, should seek legal advice from an experienced military defense attorney<\/a> as soon as possible.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you or someone you love is being investigated by Air Force Office of Special Investigations, Army Criminal Investigation Division (Army CID), Coast Guard Investigative Service (CGIS), Naval Criminal Investigative Service (NCIS), or any other military investigator, the consequences can be life altering. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Exercising your rights to silence, not to consent to searches, and to contact a lawyer before responding to any questions can be the difference between becoming a felon and continuing to serve your country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
