Court Room Background

Titling Actions

The firm is experienced in handling cases involving law enforcement records and titling actions.

We often receive questions about obtaining records. For requesting Army records and NCIS records, contact us.

A titling is basically the indexing of a subject in national criminal data bases. In other words, when a law enforcement agency like NCIS, OSI, or Army CID places your name in the “title” block of an investigative report, you are titled. There are certain reporting requirements that the agency then complies with to enter your name in databases like DCII (Defense Central Index of Criminal Investigations). The standard required is only “credible information.” Even if you are later exonerated, your name remains in the database unless you can show that there was no credible information to support the titling decision.

Attacking the credible information standard is critical. This is where an attorney can play a key role. We often see cases involving extremely esoteric areas of the law – the Joint Federal Travel Regulations, for instance. Or minor cases involving no evidence where the command resolved the issue with an Article 15, NJP, Captain’s Mast, or reprimand.

The decision to title a person can have significant unforeseen adverse consequences later on in life (e.g. security clearance applications, job applications, access to military installations). Our attorneys are experienced in appealing titling decisions to the appropriate law enforcement agencies under DODI 5505.07. Attorney Lauren Johnson-Naumann was the Deputy SJA at OSI and has insights into the process. Call us or email now for a free consultation. We are happy to discuss your options.

I Wanted To Thank You For Your Help With Our Case. We Were Surprised At The Many Roadblocks We Met With This Command, And Are So Grateful Your Firm Was There To Assist Us.

Dear Gary,

I wanted to thank you for your help with our case. We were surprised at the many roadblocks we met with this command, and are so grateful your firm was there to assist us. We were so pleased working with you as well as with Brian, who was exceptionally knowledgeable and smart. Beyond that, working with Brian was just very pleasant, and he really helped guide us through what proved to be a much more complex and contentious process than what I think any of us anticipated.
We are delighted A. is staying ashore in the meantime to address his medical issues and credit solely the assistance Brian and your firm have provided.

Thank you for all your help. We plan to be in touch after the adsep decision is made to consider our next step vis-vis A.'s Article 15.

In the meantime, please accept our profound gratitude.
All best.
M AND A.

Don'T Go It Alone, Get Gary Myers Team Behind You.

I was informed by company that my Security Clearance is suspended after a background investigation.

I was devastated, my job is now on the line. After contemplating doing the appeal by myself. I decided to seek representation. After doing some web research, and calling a few Lawyers and Law Services, I talked with Mr. Gary Myers, he called me back right away on a Friday afternoon! I explain the facts of my situation, while giving no guarantees he explained that he thinks he can help and that he has a very good Attorney to work my case, Mr. Brian Pristeria. After all the Lawyers I talked to Mr. Myers was the easiest to talk to, he was clear and precise, he got me focused on the information and materials I needed to send to him and Mr. Pristeria.

Mr. Pristeria was Professional, detailed and easy to work with. He counseled and guided me every step of the way. When Mr. Pristeria called and told me my Clearance was granted, I literally fell out of my chair. I owe the continuation of my Career to Mr. Myers and Mr. Pristeria.
