Charge: 2 Counts of Rape; Result: Won a NOT Guilty at trial.
Master Sergeant charged with misappropriating government funds
in the amount of $400,000.00. The prosecution offered a reduction
to E-1, a Bad Conduct Discharge and loss of all benefits and 1
year in the Brig. His J.A.G. defense attorney said it was a great
deal and that he needed to take it.
Mr. Low litigated the case until the prosecution offered him
a new deal, which was reduction to Sgt. (E-5), no jail time and
allowed to retire from the military with benefits. Mr. Low refused
and litigated the case further. The result was that the
Master Sergeant was reduced only one stripe, no Brig time and
was allowed to retire with his full benefits. This was
a huge victory. Just ask his original J.A.G. defense attorney
who tried to get the client to accept a deal that included Brig
time.
After Mr. Low secured this victory from the Judge, the prosecutor
shook his hand and complimented Mr. Low on what an amazing job
that he did and that Mr. Low's client was extremely lucky.
This client was charged with A.W.O.L., Larceny and Conspiracy
to commit Larceny. There were 14 defendants named. All the soldiers
were intimidated into pleading guilty. All had military attorneys
except for Mr. Low's client.
Several J.A.G. defense council members tried to intimidate the
client into taking the deal and yelled at Mr. Low that he could
not win the case and his client was going to go to the Brig for
a significant period of time. Despite the bad facts of his confession
and the finding of the stolen property in his quarters, Mr.
Low took the case to trial and won it after cross examining just
one of the government's witnesses. The Command and the
Army were so pleased that they presented Mr. Low with the Army
J.A.G. Defense Medal. The Judge commented that he was impressed
that Mr. Low was willing to come to the Middle East during the
war when all the other civilian attorneys would not come. He asked
if Mr. Low was former military, and Mr. Low informed him that
he is a former Marine. The judge said, "That explains why
you were not deterred from coming."
Here is what the client's father had to say about Mr. Low:
"Last Spring, our son, an Army Reserves Specialist serving
Operation Enduring Freedom and Operation Iraqi Freedom since January
2003, was charged with 2 Articles under the UCMJ. The Army alleged
the incident had taken place 8 months before. His assigned military
defense attorney clearly did not have our son's interest as a
top priority. When my wife and I interviewed Joseph to consider
him taking over the case, a bigger consideration came into play:
the charges and potential trial would take place in Iraq. Joseph
weighed the risks he'd be taking given he'd be making trips to
meet with his client prior to a trial. It was also clear, that
as a former Marine, Joseph understood the predicament my son was
in. It was clear to us from the onset, that Joseph not only had
a grasp of military law and how justice would be served, but how
the system was stacked against someone in our son's situation.
During the months that ensued, Joseph kept in touch with us; was
available 24x7 to respond to calls from my son; and he realistically
gauged expectations. It was comforting knowing Joseph had our
case. The motions he presented on the day the trial was set to
begin, resulted in getting the case dismissed. Two weeks later
our son was safely back home. Not a day goes by we are not grateful
for Joseph's professionalism and compassion given the difficult
circumstances we faced."
AG, Colonel, USAF (Ret)
Client was charged with 14 counts of stealing weapons from
the armory, and stealing goods and services from out in town.
The prosecution wanted 75 years in the Brig. The client had confessed.
Mr. Low went to trial on the case. The client was convicted of
only one charge, the one he confessed to, and received only three

Quote from P.P.-California
"I also want to thank you, Monica, and your staff for your
patience and kindness in dealing with both ***** and me over the
past several weeks. I know we made your life miserable at times.
I realize you all went beyond the normal scope of duty for this
type of case and I deeply appreciate it."
