Former JAG Trial Attorneys Join Forces to Launch National Law Firm

December 08, 2006 (PRLEAP.COM) Business News
Four experienced former top-rated Air Force defense attorneys recently merged their legal strengths and professional experiences to form Gagne, Scherer & Langemo, LLC, a national law firm practicing in the area of military defense.

Military criminal defense has been a passion of Greg Gagne, Keith Scherer, Tory Langemo and Doug Rawald, since their days in the Air Force, notably, as both prosecutors and defense counsel.

“The Air Force trained us very well and we all gained valuable trial experience as both prosecutors and defense counsel. However, the typical JAG attorney only spends the first 4-6 years of their career in the courtroom,” Langemo explained. “After that, they turn into administrators. We wanted to stay in the courtroom and keep fighting for the rights of military members. Gagne, Scherer & Langemo, LLC, allows us to do just that, and the freedom and independence to do it well.”

Gagne, Scherer & Langemo, LLC, defends military members of all branches; Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines and Coast Guard, who are facing criminal charges or adverse administrative action.

Specializing in litigation, Greg Gagne served as a trial attorney in the JAG Corps of the United States Air Force from 2002 to 2005. He began his career as a civilian lawyer and was compelled to enter the military after the tragedy of 9/11.

Keith Scherer, a top-rated criminal defense lawyer with extensive civilian and military trial experience served first as an enlisted Russian Linguist with the Air Force Intelligence Command from 1989 to 1992 then as a trial attorney in the JAG Corps of the United States Air Force from 2001 to 2005.

Tory Langemo, one of the defense community’s finest, served as a litigator in the Air Force JAG Corps from 2001 to 2005. He then left active duty to become a completely independent advocate for military members worldwide.

Doug Rawald spent over four years in the courtroom as a member of the Air Force JAG Corps, most recently as a senior defense counsel specializing in high-profile and complex cases. His aggressive, “no-holds-barred” attitude in court led to his reputation as a “master advocate,” and, “first line criminal defense litigator.”

Gagne, Scherer & Langemo, LLC, is currently accepting new military clients across the United States and abroad. For more information, call the firm toll-free at1-877-TOP-JAGS (1-877-867-5247) or visit www.gslattorneys.com
