About Bradford J.
Bradford J. Glendening is an attorney whose profession has bridged military and civilian practice. He earned a Juris Doctor from Valparaiso University School of Law and holds a Bachelor of Science in Management, concentrating in finance and accounting, from Purdue University Calumet. Those educational steps preceded his entry into army legal service and later work in state and federal courts.
Glendening began lively obligation service within the U.S. Army Judge Advocate General’s Corps as a trial lawyer in 2002. That position positioned him in court settings early in his professional life, handling legal proceedings beneath the Uniform Code of Military Justice. He later joined the Reserve Component as a trial criminal defense lawyer in 2010, shifting his position from prosecution to defense in army matters. The two positions gave him experience on each sides of the court in army justice.
He is licensed to practice in more than one jurisdictions. Those consist of the states of Texas and Indiana, the Southern District of Indiana, the Northern District of Indiana, and the Western District of Texas. He is also admitted to practice earlier than the Court of Appeals for the Armed Forces. That combination of state, federal and army appellate credentials shapes the kinds of things he takes on.
Glendening’s work attracts on each his army courtroom experience and his civilian legal background. Over the years he has handled trials, proceedings and appellate filings for service members and civilians. He has experience in procedural and evidentiary issues that occur in courts-martial and in federal and state legal proceedings. Colleagues describe him as methodical in trial preparation and attentive to procedural detail.
His practice is primarily based in central Texas, the place he maintains offices serving Fort Hood, Killeen, Harker Heights and the wider Bell County region. That geography places him close to military commands and to nearby civilian courts. It also means his calendar often includes matters that cross the military–civilian divide.
Outside the court, Glendening’s background in finance and accounting informs his approach to case analysis. He draws on that education when reviewing monetary history, assessing compensation and making ready witness cross-examination. He continues to symbolize clients in state and federal boards and looks before army appellate tribunals. He presently practices in matters involving military justice, state and federal litigation, and appellate proceedings.
