Steven J. Goralski served as a Marine defense counsel at Camp Lejeune and as Deputy SJA to the Base Commanding General. He knows the installation, the legal offices, and how to win your case. That experience — defending Marines in one of the busiest defense offices in the Corps — is something no amount of research can replicate.
Camp Lejeune is one of the busiest military justice jurisdictions in the Department of Defense. With II Marine Expeditionary Force, multiple infantry regiments, and supporting commands, the base generates a high volume of courts-martial, administrative separations, and investigations. Steven Goralski has been inside that system — as a defense counsel handling dozens of cases for Marines facing the most serious charges, and as the senior legal advisor to the Commanding General overseeing base legal operations.
We represent Marines and Sailors at Camp Lejeune in every type of military legal proceeding: general and special courts-martial, administrative separation boards, NJP hearings, command investigations, GOMOR responses, and Board of Inquiry proceedings for officers. We also handle discharge upgrades for veterans who were separated from Lejeune with less-than-Honorable characterizations.
Our Jacksonville office is minutes from the base gates. We’re available for in-person meetings, phone consultations, and secure video calls — whatever works with your duty schedule. When your hearing date is approaching, proximity matters.
