About Grover Hamel
Grover Hamel Baxley is an attorney who has combined military service and civilian practice into a career centered on military justice. He practices from JAG Defense - The Law Office of Grover H. Baxley, P.C., and has experience that spans the uniformed services and the civilian bar.
Baxley studied at Vanderbilt University, earning a Bachelor of Arts in 1994. He continued his legal education at the University of Richmond School of Law, where he received his J.D. in 1998. Those years set the groundwork for work inside military legal systems as well as in state jurisdiction.
In 2001 he served as a Judge Advocate in the U.S. Air Force JAG Corps. That period placed him inside military justice processes and exposed him to courts-martial, administrative actions, and the discrete procedures that govern service members. After his time in uniform, he transitioned into civilian practice while maintaining a practice that addresses matters arising under military law.
Baxley is admitted to practice in Massachusetts and is authorized to appear in military courts worldwide. He represents clients in military justice proceedings and handles related legal matters that touch both the Uniform Code of Military Justice and parallel civilian processes. His work crosses the administrative and criminal divide that often accompanies military cases, and he has handled matters at different stages of those processes.
His civilian practice operates under the name JAG Defense - The Law Office of Grover H. Baxley, P.C. There he provides counsel and defense services for service members and others facing military disciplinary or criminal exposure. The practice reflects his background in the Air Force JAG Corps and his ongoing work in Massachusetts courts and military venues.
Colleagues and clients describe him as someone who knows the distinct rules that apply in military proceedings and how those rules interact with civilian law. He draws on courtroom experience and knowledge of military procedure when advising clients, preparing defenses, and arguing matters before military tribunals. His practice balances the procedural demands of courts-martial with the practical needs of those he represents.
He now practices at JAG Defense - The Law Office of Grover H. Baxley, P.C., representing clients in military justice matters.
