While every case is unique, and past results offer no guarantee of future outcome, you can look to a law firm’s track record to gauge experience and familiarity with the law. Here are some of our notable wins:
Air Force Board for the Correction of Military Records. November, 2023 – Attorney Feldmeier represented a Servicemember whose convictions this firm previously reversed on appeal. The Air Force, however, stubbornly refused to give back the rank that the Air Force took for offenses of which the client is now Not Guilty. Attorney Feldmeier took the client’s case to the Air Force Board for the Correction of Military Records. The client will get his rank back, as well as years of backpay.
United States v. Matthew. May 30, 2023 – The client obtained a new trial after Attorney Feldmeier successfully argued that the record of trial was incomplete. At the new trial, Attorney Feldmeier obtained reduced charges and a reduced sentence.
United States v. Zier. Apr. 18, 2023 – Attorney Feldmeier brought a groundbreaking action under Article 69, UCMJ, and forced open the doors of the Air Force Court of Criminal Appeals for a client who previously had no way to challenge his conviction.
United States v. Masa. Jan. 7, 2021 – 8 years of confinement became time served. Attorney Feldmeier had successfully obtained defeated one of his client’s two convictions at a prior appeal. He then negotiated a sentence-limitation agreement with the government for the remaining Charge. At resentencing, he argued successfully that his client was due nearly three months of sentencing credit. The result – instead of going back to confinement for another 5 years, the client served 5 more hours in the brig, and was then reunited with his family.
United States v. Frost. Jul. 30, 2019 – The Court of Appeals for the Armed Forces [CAAF] agreed with Attorney Feldmeier that improper evidence contributed to his client’s conviction and set aside and dismissed the findings and the sentence. This is a huge win for the client. In this case, CAAF agreed that coaching of the alleged victim, as part of an extremely nasty child custody dispute, made the admission of improper evidence prejudicial to the client. Attorney Feldmeier’s client was released from confinement and will not face re-trial.
United States v. Campbell. Apr. 18, 2018 – The Court of Appeals for the Armed Forces reversed the Air Force Court of Criminal Appeals and set aside and dismissed the findings of guilt and the sentence in an Airman’s case. Attorney Feldmeier successfully argued that the Military Judge utilized an improper presumption which violated the airman’s constitutional right to be presumed not guilty of the charges which he faced.
United States v. Jerkins. Feb. 8, 2018 – Attorney Feldmeier successfully argued that the Convening Authority (Commanding General) in the case improperly influenced the verdict in the case by improperly communicating his inflammatory views on the case to the panel (jury).
United States v. Guardado. Dec. 12, 2017 – The Court of Appeals for the Armed Forces set aside and dismissed a Soldier’s sexual assault conviction and dismissed the sentence.

United States v. Pringle. Oct. 13, 2017 – Air Force Master Sergeant cleared of indecent acts on a minor after Attorney Feldmeier argued in a brief that he wrote that the evidence was factually insufficient. The Air Force Court agreed and set aside and dismissed the indecent acts charge with prejudice (the airman cannot be retried for it). The Master Sergeant is now looking forward to retirement.
United States v. Duarte. Jan. 30, 2017 – Army Sergeant convicted of two specifications of Sexual Assault and sentenced to five years confinement and a dishonorable discharge.

United States v. Mancini. Nov. 07, 2016 – Airman convicted of rape and sentenced to 7 years confinement, forfeiture of all pay and allowances, reduction to E-1, and a dishonorable discharge.

United States v. Boyce. Jul. 19, 2016 – Appellant convicted of rape and assault consummated by battery, in violation of Article 120 and Article 128, Uniform Code of Military Justice.
