Biography

Prior enlisted infantry Marine, combat tested NCO, and successful Army JAG trial lawyer.

The Law Office of David S. Hendrickson is a Honolulu, Hawaii based law firm which defends US Military service members worldwide who are facing court martial or adverse administrative action. David S. Hendrickson is the founder and Managing Attorney. This firm does not focus on appeals, it focuses on winning at trial.

Mr. Hendrickson has a high rate of success with courts martial, having won numerous complex trials, to include murder, rape, sexual assault, drugs, aggravated assault, and undercover sting operations, among others. He has also been very successful with NJP (Article 15) defense and adverse administrative actions such as GOMOR rebuttals (Army) and administrative separations in all branches.

Due to the high concentration of military personnel in Hawaii, Mr. Hendrickson undertands the need for state attorneys to consider the ramifications of civilian legal proceedings on military careers. This led him to take on state cases where he has continued a solid track record of success, to include achieving acquittals or case dismissals involving murder, negligent homicide, sexual assault, assault, harassment, and DUIs, among others.

The view at the Law Office of David S. Hendrickson is that the combination of state and military cases strengthens the practice of defending the military, as the practice in one area expands the possible defenses in the other. Regardless of the type of case, Mr. Hendrickson is absolutely dedicated to defending all clients with a personalized and most zealous defense possible. That's a guarantee.
