GOMOR Response

I consulted over 5 attorneys and I knew Peter was the right fit for me! Mr. Peter Kageleiry did an amazing job assisting me with my GOMOR response. I was able to get a local filing and continue on with my career! His advice was spot on and he gave my case his full attention. I wholeheartedly recommen...d Pete as a GOMOR Response lawyer.

Art 92(Frat)/DFC/ADSEP Board

I hired Mr. Kageleiry to represent me at an administrative separation board. With my career and retirement at risk, I did not want to take any chances so I spoke with several civilian attorneys before finding Pete. Those other attorneys either wanted an absurd amount of money and/or did not know w...hat they were talking about. When I talked with Pete, it was obvious he has done this before. Pete did an excellent job throughout the process. Before the board, I worked closely with him (not some assistant) to come up with a winning strategy. He patiently answered all my questions and gave me clear advice. The day prior to the board, I met the attorney the Navy gave me -- he had not read the file and had a crazy approach to the board that might have gotten me kicked out of the Navy. On the other hand, Pete knew exactly how to approach the board -- on the day of the board hearing, he quickly established trust with the board members and was able to talk directly and honestly with them about the best outcome not just for me but also for the Navy. Pete's military experience and his legal knowledge allowed him to speak with authority. The board members respected him and appreciated talking to an experienced attorney who obviously knows what he is doing. After listening to Pete talk, reviewing our letters, and my record, the board members voted unanimously to keep me in the Navy. Mr. Kageleiry even convinced them to write a letter of support to Navy personnel command. This was the best outcome I had hoped for. I am grateful I found Mr. Kageleiry and look forward to continuing in the Navy and reaching retirement in a few years.

Overturned Wrongful Sexual Assault Conviction

I hired Peter to help my son during his military appeal. That turned out to be a great decision! My son did not receive a fair trial for sexual assault and was sentenced to sixteen years in prison. After the court martial, the military gave my son a "free" appellate lawyer, but that lawyer told my... son there was nothing he could do to help him and wanted to submit the case right away without arguing on my son's behalf. However, Mr. Kageleiry knew that the law was changing in some important ways that could help my son win his appeal, so he told my son to be patient. He turned out to be 100% correct. Peter did a very thorough and professional job. He answered all my questions and my son's questions and showed that he really cares about his clients. Most important, Mr. Kageleiry knows military law. The appeal court overturned my son's convictions and sentence. I am grateful that we found an experienced military lawyer to handle my son's appeal. If you or your family member is in trouble with the military, hire Mr. Kageleiry!

Mr. Kageleiry is a True Professional

I hired Pete to represent me at a Board of Inquiry. My ex-wife falsely accused me of sexual assault, domestic abuse, and other misconduct. Pete crushed the government’s witnesses during cross-examination: he exposed their motives to lie and exaggerate. Pete also called witnesses whose testimony ...demonstrated my ex-wife, not me, was the abusive person in our relationship. She had assaulted me on numerous occasions, abused me emotionally, and when I caught her cheating on me she accused me of all those things. However, because she claimed to be the victim my chain of command was afraid and/or ignored the evidence that she was making up the allegations. During the separation hearing, the government military lawyers did everything they could to smear my good name and to depict me as a monster. They argued I should receive an other than honorable discharge. Pete fought back at every stage of the two-day hearing to get the truth out – he made tough decisions before and during the hearing that paid off huge in the end. At the end of the case, I was nervous – the government used all their resources to come after me. But Pete delivered a masterful closing argument convincing the three board members I had committed NONE of the misconduct. I was stunned that my two-year ordeal was finally over. I am thankful to Mr. Kageleiry for the work he put into my case. He saved my military pension, my medical benefits, and gave me a chance to get my life back on track. If you are an officer or enlisted in the military and fighting for your career, your pension, and the benefits you’ve earned, hire Mr. Kageleiry!

USNR LCDR

Tested positive for DAMP due to ADHD medicine. Despite a medical professional testing, diagnosis with treatment, and five medical doctors and pharmaceutical professional supportive documentation the Navy required me to show cause for retention at a BOI. I hired Pete to represent me and it was the b...est course of action I could have taken. His professional experience as an Army JAG & with military law was crucial in representing my case to the Board. The Board's final decision was in my favor, and they decided 'no misconduct and recommmended retention in military service.'
