Founder Sean Flood, Esq., emphasized the firm's mission, stating that servicemembers deserve a defender with comprehensive system knowledge when their honor, career, or freedom is at risk. Headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia, and serving clients globally, Fortis Military Defense leverages deep experience in the complex military justice system. Attorney Flood's background includes nearly a decade of service in the U.S. Army JAG Corps, with deployments to Afghanistan and Syria where he advised on the Law of Armed Conflict and Rules of Engagement. This service provided extensive experience in courts-martial, separation boards, and administrative practices, including advising on and rebutting military investigations.
Prior to founding Fortis Military Defense, Flood worked as a civilian military attorney for over five years, handling courts-martial, boards, administrative rebuttals and appeals, and petitions to review boards.

In Separation Boards, it provides representation to protect careers against involuntary discharge. The firm assists with Boards for Correction of Military Records to build cases for removing adverse information due to errors or injustice. It challenges unjust allegations in Article 15 & Non-Judicial Punishment proceedings to preserve servicemembers' records.
