The Law Offices of James Culp and Timothy Litka provide aggressive, experienced representation to U.S. service members and veterans, around the globe, in all aspects of military law, to include courts-martial and courts-martial appeals. With nearly 20 years of military law experience, Mr. Litka and Mr. Culp have represented U.S. service members in all branches of the military.

From offices in Washington, DC and Austin, Texas, Mr. Litka and Mr. Culp provide worldwide representation in all military criminal and administrative matters. They have tried courts-martial cases in Korea, Japan, Germany, England, Iraq and throughout the United States. While working as defense counsel, senior defense counsel, and counsel at the military appellate division, the two veteran trial and appellate lawyers saw first-hand that service members deserve more than mere competence, they deserve excellence through aggressive, experienced representation.

Close friends and professional colleagues for nearly ten years, Timothy and James each refused intense internal pressuring to become military prosecutors or chiefs of military justice. By choice, neither man has ever prosecuted a U.S. service member. Both men eventually left more than 21 years of combined active military service to continue defending the men and women who defend our nation.

Mr. Litka and Mr. Culp know the Uniform Code of Military Justice and they understand the system. They founded their firm on the sole principle that service members and veterans of the U.S. military deserve more than mere competence. Mr. Litka and Mr. Culp have successfully represented military personnel who have faced the very charges that are alleged against you. Don’t trust the system to protect your rights. The system gives you counsel;

NO CASE IS TOO BIG OR TOO SMALL

Mr. Litka and Mr. Culp understand that the case you are facing is the most significant event that has ever happened to you.
