About Lance J. Wood
Lance J. Wood is a dedicated attorney based in Abilene, Texas, with a strong focus on defending sexual assault and harassment claims within the military. His commitment to justice is rooted in his service with the United States Air Force JAG Corps, which began just thirty-seven days after 9/11 when he pledged to uphold the Constitution.
Throughout his nearly ten-year career in the Air Force, Lance gained comprehensive legal experience by serving as a prosecutor, defense counsel, and appellate defense counsel. In 2011, he transitioned from active duty, having been recognized as the #1 Senior Defense Counsel in the Air Force. His departure was driven by a commitment to defense work, as he chose not to return to a prosecutorial role.
As a civilian military attorney, Lance continues to champion the principles of the Constitution, advocating tirelessly against the prosecution machine of the armed forces. He views the Constitution not as a mere technicality but as a foundational document ensuring justice. Lance is deeply committed to defending those who serve America, believing there is no greater calling.
