Welcome

Welcome to GIRightsLawyer.com, home of the Law Firm ofJames M. Branum.

Important note: As a solo attorney, I can only take a limited number of cases at a time. The cases I am most likely to say yes to include: (1) conscientious objectors and war resisters, (2) cases involving free speech issues, and (3) AWOL/UA cases. If your case involves other issues, I encourage you to contact the GI Rights Hotline or the Military Law Task Force of the National Lawyers Guild for a referral.

I primarily work in the area of military law but also provide assistance to people previously convicted of felonies who wish to become (or stay) licensed as a ham radio operators. I also do a fair bit of legal writing and conduct some trainings on military law topics.

Outside of the law, I also work as writer/editor and as an interfaith minister.
