About Lance J. Wood

Lance J. Wood is a seasoned attorney based in Benton, Arkansas, specializing in defending claims of sexual assault and sexual harassment within the military. With a commitment to justice, he provides robust legal representation to help clients reclaim their lives and careers.

In the aftermath of 9/11, Lance committed to serving his country by joining the United States Air Force JAG Corps, where he pledged to uphold the Constitution. As a civilian military legal counsel, he continues to honor this oath, advocating for justice and defending his clients using constitutional principles.

Throughout his nearly ten-year tenure with the Air Force, Lance gained comprehensive experience by serving as a prosecutor, corporate counsel, and appellate defense counsel. In 2011, he transitioned from active duty after being named the #1 Senior Defense Counsel in the Air Force. His decision to leave was driven by a desire to continue his defense work rather than serve as a deputy prosecutor.

Lance remains committed to protecting those who serve the nation, viewing the Constitution not as a mere technicality but as a vital document ensuring justice. His legal practice is dedicated to challenging the prosecution system within the armed forces and defending the rights of service members.
