Toni saved my career and my future

If you need the best legal support, look no further. False abuse allegations were launched against me while going through a contentious divorce and bitter child custody battle. I was not living in the same location as my ex-wife and I helplessly watched from afar as the process unfolded with little s...upport from the military. I was placed under a Military Protective Order preventing me from seeing or communicating with my daughter as I waited more a year and a half for the military investigation to complete. I was removed from my Joint Staff position and lost faith in my assigned Air Force lawyer. I didn’t know where to look but I knew I had to protect myself. Then I came across Toni, who came highly recommended from a former military attorney friend. I read through the same reviews you are reading and immediately knew I had to reach out. She saved my career. She saved my reputation. She saved my future. Her creative legal strategy and knowledge of the military justice system first led to a mistrial and then ultimately, a full acquittal. She displayed the same tenacity and drive in the court room as she used when preparing me to take the stand. Toni, paired with her recommended child forensics psychologist and my newly assigned Air Force defense attorney, hit the prosecution hard when we finally had our day in court. Throughout the entire process, when I lost hope, she kept the faith. She was always available to discuss my case and answer my concerns. I do not have the words to describe how grateful I am -- THANK YOU TONI!

Excellent attorney for military matters

Without hesitation I would recommend Antoinette for legal representation regarding military matters. She is extremely well versed and knowledgeable in military law. She has an innate ability to communicate complicated legal terminology into powerful, direct language that can resonate with both with t...he layman and legal professionals. She took my case when others wouldn't and she navigated me through the process in a calm, confident and methodical manner with a flare for compassion. She won my case involving SBP and I would highly recommend her as a first choice.

Veteran's Spouse Lawyer of Choice

I am writing this 5 Star Review on behalf of my sister, a widow of a 23 year military retiree who passed soon after retiring and marrying my sister. Ms. Quinn took on my sister's very unique case on her attempt to obtain survivor benefits as a widow of a retiree, her husband, who married her after re...tiring. This complicated situation was one that Ms. Quinn admitted was rarely if ever seen in her work but that she be happy to take on. Her complete focus and skill along with skillful guidance offered my sister a level of confidence in the outcome of this case. It took months to complete putting the case together as my sister needed to secure affidavits from family and friends, submit them to Ms. Quinn for review and inclusion into her packet that was to be forwarded to the decision making, military Board. Her ability to grasp a unique situation in its entirely, write a compelling case supporting a positive outcome and her availability by phone and email was comforting and very welcome to both my sister and me (I helped my sister pull this case together for submission). Ms. Quinn was also there to keep us informed about expectations, timelines and final outcome. Almost 9 months later, a positive outcome was realized and all due to Ms. Quinn's compelling, honest and empathetic presentation that was submitted to the Board. Her written response to the Board that made the final decision so compelling focused on the fact that the policy guidance about military retirees marrying after they left active service, was confusing and unclear. Due to Ms, Quinn pointing this out, the Board made a recommendation to review its current policy on military members who marry for the first time after the member retirees. Wow! I give Ms. Quinn my highest marks for a "job well done" on behalf of my sister, who lost her beloved husband too soon to a precipitous and deadly brain tumor. Thank you again, Ms. Quinn, for a job well done! For anyone looking for a great attorney who truly has your best interest at heart, call her ASAP!

"Toni is an amazing courts-martial defense attorney. She is particularly skilled with defending military sexual assault cases, which are the hardest cases to win. Toni's top-flight trial skills have led to a lengthy record of acquittals. If you have been charged under the UCMJ you owe it to yourself, your family and your career to retain Toni in your defense. I highly recommend Toni for any UCMJ case."

Relationship: Co-worker

"I first met Toni when we were assigned together to defend a servicemember in a high-profile Air Force Court-Martial involving two counts of rape, alleged by two different women. The case garnered national media attention and Toni was specifically assigned as the Senior Defense Counsel (First Chair Counsel). At the time, she had over 100 trials under her belt and was ranked at the top of all defense counsel in the Air Force. Being a female brings her a distinctive advantage in these types of cases when the accuser is also female. Toni's reputation is impeccable, and it is exactly why my partner, Mike Lyons, and I sought her out to join our team at Patriots Law Group."
