Saved My Career

When faced with a frivolous accusation, Greg and his team went into high-gear. Always treated me with respect and made sure I was aware of every aspect of what was going on. I was retained and promoted.

Best security clearance attorney in Hampton Roads

I wholeheartedly endorse and recommend the law firm of McCormack and McCormack. I worked with this firm for nearly four years and in the end, I had my security clearance reinstated after multiple letters of intent stemming more than a decade. Although I was facing insurmountable odds, Greg McCormac...k and his highly-skilled paralegal assisted me in navigating the confusing and complex world of security clearances. His decades of experience and shrewd litigation skills overwhelmed the government’s case and left the appeals board without question as to my reliability and trustworthiness. If you are facing a security clearance issue, I strongly recommend you retain the services of Greg McCormack. There is simply too much at stake and relying on your own knowledge or the guidance of a lesser-experienced firm may prove to be an incredibly costly and life-altering mistake. I summary, I owe a debt of gratitude to this firm that I can never repay.

Best Military Defense Lawyer in Hampton Roads

Greg McCormack was the only reason my case resulted in the most favorable outcome possible. If I hadn't had him on my case there is no way I would have gotten the result I wanted. His paralegal is also exceptionally skilled and very professional to work with. If you have a serious problem with a mili...tary legal issue, McCormack & McCormack is the only option.

Legal Counsel

Greg is professional, thorough, unrelenting, and dedicated to his work! His straight-forward, no-nonsense approach made the difference in the legal counsel he afforded me during an intense, highly visible military case. He easily represented everything that he was touted to be without flaw.

A True Professional

When I was facing a very serious professional situation, I needed a professional that understood the military justice system. I received his contact information from mentors that told me I could trust Greg. Greg never wavered in his honesty or dedication to my family. I now consider him a friend. Exp...ect him to explain to you the worst case scenario so that you can get mentally prepared for your defense. What's more, depending on your circumstances, you may never have to meet in person. For my family, we received the outcome we planned and were vindicated for defending our reputation. If you have a professional problem, call Greg and you will feel immediately better.
