Fortis Military Defense, LLC, a new law firm based in Atlanta, Georgia, has announced its commitment to defending U.S. servicemembers in all branches of the Armed Forces. Founded by former Army JAG Corps attorney Sean C. H. Flood, the firm focuses exclusively on military law, offering representation for Soldiers, Marines, Sailors, Airmen, and Guardians facing investigations, administrative hearings, military criminal charges, and other legal challenges that can impact their careers. The firm also assists Veterans in applying to Boards for the Correction of Military Records and Discharge Review Boards.
According to founder Sean Flood, Esq., the firm understands the high stakes involved in military legal matters. “When a servicemember's honor, career, or freedom is on the line, they deserve a defender who knows the system inside and out and will fight with integrity and precision to protect them,” Flood said. With nearly a decade of service in the U.S. Army JAG Corps, including deployments to Afghanistan and Syria, Flood brings combat-zone-tested leadership and extensive courtroom experience to every case. His background includes advising commanders on the Law of Armed Conflict and Rules of Engagement, as well as handling courts-martial, separations boards, and administrative rebuttals. Prior to founding Fortis Military Defense, Flood worked as a civilian military attorney for over five years.
Fortis Military Defense provides skilled representation across a full range of military matters. These include military law enforcement investigations, sexual harassment and Equal Opportunity cases, administrative investigations, separation boards, Boards for Correction of Military Records, Article 15 and non-judicial punishment proceedings, discharge review boards, and administrative hearings. The firm's approach is guided by the principle of doing the right thing and fighting vigorously for clients.
Headquartered at 1201 W. Peachtree St NW, STE 2300, Atlanta, GA, the firm represents clients globally and offers confidential consultations. Flood’s credentials include the Bronze Star Medal (Meritorious), Meritorious Service Medal, and three Army Commendation Medals, reflecting his dedication and expertise. With over 15 years of military law experience, Fortis Military Defense aims to protect the careers, reputations, and futures of those who serve.
This announcement is significant because it highlights the specialized legal support available to servicemembers navigating the complex military justice system.
