The Man Behind The Firm
For the last two decades, Mr. Conway has been a nationally recognized authority on military justice. His reputation is built on a long and successful career that began in the military and continued as one of the leading military defense lawyers in the nation.
Daniel Conway served as a Marine. He joined the firm in 2005. Our founding partner – Gary Myers – founded the firm in 1972. Mr. Conway has handled some of the most high-profile cases over the last twenty years including Abu Ghraib, Haditha, the MARSOC Marines, the Kill Team, and many others.
That firsthand knowledge and experience of military life informs the respect and dignity with which he treats every client. It’s also one source of his vast wealth of knowledge in military justice.
Another source is his education. Daniel Conway is a proud graduate of the University of Texas at San Antonio and the University of New Hampshire School of Law. From there, Mr. Conway continued learning while working for Gary Myers. Their work together is immortalized in numerous films and documentaries. It was during his time working with Gary Myers, that Mr. Conway honed his craft traveling the world demanding justice for clients.
He has traveled to Iraq seven times and Afghanistan once, defending service members. His track record of success has earned a reputation as a skilled and tenacious litigator. It was an honor to serve his country and it continues to be an honor to serve fellow service members.
Service Areas
The Department of Defense is one of the world’s largest employers. Overseeing nearly 3 million employees worldwide is a massive undertaking. It’s easy for individuals to become lost in the shuffle of paperwork, review, and oversight. The consequences for those individuals can be catastrophic to their careers. Our military defense attorneys aggressively ensure our clients receive fair treatment. Whether in courts-martial and separation boards or correcting their military records and security clearances—we have the experience it takes to win. Here are just some of our many practice areas:
Courts-Martial Defense and Appeals
Facing a court-martial shouldn’t be done alone. You need counsel that is aggressive, experienced, and easy to communicate with. We have defended court-martial charges involving nearly every Universal Code of Military Justice offense in every branch. Media and experts so widely recognize our experience that Mr. Conway co-authored a book on Military Crimes and Defenses.
A decision in a court-martial may not be final. Protecting your record and benefits may require an appeal. We have appeared before the Army, Navy/Marine Corps, and Air Force Appellate Courts and the highest military appellate court, The United States Court of Appeals for the Armed Forces. We also stand up for clients seeking clemency and parole when a court martial confines them. Whether you’re facing a court-martial for the first time or want a better chance in an appeal, call our military defense attorneys for a free initial consultation.
Correcting Military Records
Discharge records, reprimands, and evaluation reports aren’t given their due diligence because of the sheer size of the Department of Defense. Reviewers spend only a few minutes on thousands of applications, appeals, discharges, etc. At Daniel Conway & Associates, a military lawyer will fight to have our client’s paperwork carefully and accurately reviewed. Here are some of the military records we can rectify:
- Board Correction of Military Records | Board for Correction of Naval Records
- Security Clearance Appeals
- Evaluation Report Appeals
- Reprimand Appeals
- Discharge Review Boards
- Removal of Titling Actions
- Grade Review Boards
- Military Protective Orders
- Flight Evaluation Boards
- Physician Credentialing Hearings
Separation Boards
Separation Boards have enormous power over your future as a civilian. A military defense lawyer can make all the difference in exiting service honorably. Daniel Conway & Associates represents service members on separation boards, show cause boards, and actions in all services. This includes actions based on serious misconduct, a pattern of misconduct, personality disorders, homosexuality, drug use, and substandard duty performance, among other things.
Medical Malpractice and Other Medical Cases
Medical malpractice claims are new in the military, and Daniel Conway & Associates is one of the first firms in the country to specialize in these claims. We’re at the forefront of holding military doctors and staff accountable for their negligent actions. You shouldn’t continue to suffer because of their failures.
Our military lawyers can also appeal healthcare provider credentialing actions when revoked or denied credentials threaten a career. Our firm also has experience appealing Medical Evaluation Board decisions to ensure our clients receive the benefits they deserve.
