Matthew Louis Barry

I give my highest and most sincere recommendation to Mr. Matthew Barry. His deep passion for service members and extensive knowledge of complex legal processes were instrumental in navigating the challenges of a GOMOR rebuttal. Thanks to his dedication, I now have a fighting chance at promotion and c...areer advancement after facing what could have been a career-ending situation. Mr. Barry’s legal expertise not only reduced the immense stress I was under but also provided hope when it seemed there was none remaining. He also shed light on critical flaws within the Army’s records correction systems. Above all, Mr. Barry is a true professional who passionately fought for me every step of the way. If you’re facing negative administrative or legal challenges, he is the advocate you need on your side. I cannot recommend him highly enough.

In my 28 years of service, I never thought I would need an attorney to save my career and fight for my promotion. I was falsely accused of counterproductive leadership and creating a hostile environment. I have never been under investigation or placed in a Commander's Inquiry and HQDA Delayed Promoti...on FLAG status. I felt betrayed by my subordinates and left out on my own from my previous unit's leadership. God blessed me with guiding a path to finding Matt. The local JAG told me to let the process work, without even hearing the entirety of the situation. I lost confidence in the Army to provide a voice for Soldiers. The IO didn't follow the regulation nor interviewed me before generating the report. I am forever grateful to Matt for contacting me immediately when I sent a message on his website. He took the time after hours to collect information and provide a way ahead. He spent many moments reassuring me to trust in him and keep my head up. He understands military law, has exceptional rebuttal writing skills and the memorandum for the promotion board. My 15-6 was closed, no adverse action, and I received my back dated promotion orders. I highly recommend Matt if you feel alone and afraid.

I loved his approach and how he played no games with me. He was serious, professional and didn't beat around the bush. In a stressful time when you are busy defending yourself, you need someone who isn't going to sugar coat things for you and who will show you that he truly wants to protect you. Even... though he is straight forward, he was always there for me. I went through an ROTC disenrollment board which meant that I had to cross examine my witnesses and he was not permitted to say much during the board. He strengthened me when I felt weak and prepared everything for me. It is only because of Matthew Barry that I won my case against false accusations. Thanks to him I don't owe the government back my scholarship money which was about $25k. God Bless.

Over the course of 2 years, Matt provided exceptional legal advice and support through a counterproductive leadership investigation, relief for cause, and ultimately a SSRB. He was able to objectively look at the situation, ask the tough questions, and provide honesty and empathy. He displayed genuin...e, personal attention to my case while balancing a large case load. He was able to make himself available at all times of the day, as well as the flexibility to adjust to my OCONUS PCS. At no point, did I feel like I was just another case. During numerous setbacks, he remained positive with a "no quit" attitude. Ultimately, I was able to achieve a positive outcome of my SSRB due to his dedication to my case. I highly recommend contacting, consulting with, and ultimately highering Matt Barry to any US Army Officers or NCO fighting a counterproductive leadership accusation.
