Matthew Louis Barry

It was a scary prospect as an active-duty E-8 with 16 years of service to be staring down a QMP board. After consulting with a few different lawyers in my area I thought I knew what law firm I was going to go with but after speaking to Mr Willard and Mr Barry I decided to go with them despite them be...ing located on the other side of the country. Mr Barry did a great job plainly explaining the situation to me and what steps I needed to take. His experience and proven results with QMP board gave me a lot confidence. He did an excellent job helping me to craft a response to the board that eventually saw me get retained. I would not hesitate for a second to hire Mr Barry again.

Mr. Barry, Matthew is such an amazing and outstand attorney. He has strong military legal experience and professionalism. I had a miserable life due to the toxic leadership from my Commander. My commander recommended me a UCMJ article 15 without any evidence. He abused his power and mistreated me. I ...was also suffering mental disorder and had been hospitalized several times this year. Military TDS attorney recommended me to resign the commission. Compared with attorney Barry, they are lazy, inexperience and very unprofessional. They are just like my commander to ruin my military career. However, after I hired attorney Barry, my life is completely changed. Under his guide and advice, I successfully won the board of inquiry. He help me save my military career and beat the injustice that is created from my commander’s toxic leadership. Not only this, my mental health condition is also getting much better after I hired attorney Barry. Attorney Barry is also an Army MAJOR retired. He also like a senior officer, mentor and led me to success. Therefore, if any injustice impact your military career, hiring attorney Barry is your # 1 choice.

For four years, my career was stopped short by the military.  At every step of the BCNR process, I was encouraged and bolstered.   During the BCNR review, I retained Military Law Attorney, Matthew Louis Barry.   This is a decision I will remember. Matt is the number one choice for Military Law.  He ...is licensed in key states and knows his way around the BCNR. Mr. Barry had my back every step of the way.  I knew Mr. Barry always had my best interests at heart.  On a personal level, Matt is charismatic, intelligent, and easy to talk with.  Professionally, he is highly competitive, experienced, knowledgeable and absolutely driven to succeed.  He exceeded all expectations by preparing my case perfectly for the next step!

Attorney Matthew Barry became my Defense Attorney to represent me as I was pending five charges. Bottom line up front, Mr. Barry significantly helped provide my evidence to my Commander, giving him the real story, with full details. Mr. Barry truly listened to what I had to say, and throughout the en...tire duration, I felt like someone was on my side. Most importantly, Mr. Barry gave me honest advice, and remained diligent in my case. In summary, As a SGT in the Army I was faced with multiple charges. It began with a recommendation for an article 15 for a failure to report to PT, and a failure to report to work call. I was then accused of being drunk on duty. After missing PT formation, my new NCOIC told my leadership that he expected me of being “drunk”. After being taken to the MP station for a breathalyzer test, I was found to have a .0 something BAC, and my charge was changed to incapacitated to fulfill my duties. At this point, I hadn’t thought about getting a lawyer. It wasn’t until halfway through my enrollment in the Army’s Alcohol Program in which I was questioned by CID for a pending sexual assault charge. At that very moment I knew I needed to look for a lawyer and declined to the scope of questions from CID until I had a lawyer present. Quickly, I found Mr. Barry through a search and read through his site very thoroughly. I read extremely positive reviews and decided to take a chance. Luckily for me, Mr. Barry willingly and quickly accepted to represent me for the CID questions and pending article 15 charges. As we went over the details of my case throughout the month, Mr. Barry remained honest about what to expect being guilty of being absent from a formation, but most importantly offered resources of others in my area of South Korea for any court martial hearing in the case he couldn’t attend, had I chosen that route. Mr. Barry and I spent almost two months waiting to hear any details regarding the CID case of the alleged sexual assault as I was left out of the loop, clueless, and worried since I hold a TS clearance. My command remained silent throughout the duration of the investigation, and I never heard back from CID. In the meantime, Mr. Barry took my case of failure to report to PT and work call, and incapacitated to fulfill my duties charges, and started working on those matters. After two months, CID finally reach the verdict of not guilty, and I was relieved. By this time, I was also accused of having violated a no drinking order, totaling 5 charges. Mr. Barry read through my hearing packet and listened to everything I had to say. Mr. Barry included my evidence, my witness testimony in the sexual assault case, and heard my issues. Overall, I was guilty of violating a no drinking order, and having failed to report to PT; Although I lost my rank and received an oral reprimand, the article was filed locally. However, while at my second hearing, my Command Team, Battalion Commander, and CSM, took over an hour to debate on what they should do, and I have a strong feeling it was regarding the matters that Mr. Barry was able to help me with. The way Mr. Barry was able to see all angles of my case and help to showcase these angles to my Commander was truly helpful. I would not have been able to do this alone and most importantly, Mr. Barry’s helped assured me someone was on my side. I wasn’t even contacted by Army Legal until after the investigation was over because they were booked. I would hire Mr. Barry again if I ever needed it and commend him for his ability to be considerate to my feelings, diligent, and overall enthusiastic about putting my matters together. For anyone wanting to hire Mr. Barry, make sure to be completely honest with him, and he will ensure he can do the best he can to help you with your case!
