Matthew Louis Barry

I was having back to back allegations thrown at me that caused the military to initiate a sep board. I was at a low point in my life and was fearing the worst. I presented everything (alot of things) to Matt. He took his time reviewing the facts and left me with a hopeful outlook to my case. The firs...t person to do so btw. Months go by. Stress continues to build and everytime Matt sent me updates they were positive and made me feel like i had a fighting chance. On the day of the board, he did exactly what I expected of him and he performed. I was retained into service and still can’t believe the outcome. Honestly still trying to piece it together. Thanks Matt for save!!!!

Attorney Barry provided the best possible defense for my Article 15 hearing. With his defense, my Article 15, for Article 128, was placed in my restricted AMHRR and my punishment was kept to a minimum with no loss of rank. Thanks to Attorney Barry this incident will have a minimal impact on my future... in the military.

Attorney Barry was retained by our son for ROTC disenrollment. Throughout the year-long process, he was very willing to meet with us at any time to answer our questions and provide recommendations and options for next steps. We found Attorney Barry very professional, persistent and represented well... our son's interests.

The Army changed its policy to review existing adverse information after a promotion board is convened. CID discovered domestic-related civilian reports from my past during their portion of the investigation. Even though I was never charged and declared a victim, these reports were still flagged, an...d my promotion was put on hold until the SSRB convened. I initially went to JAG for assistance with a rebuttal, but I didn't feel secure with the outcome. The rebuttal was too vague and it was their first time dealing with a situation like this. Because my career was in jeopardy, I decided to hire an attorney and discovered Matt Barry. I admired the fact that he was a former member of the military, was familiar with military law, and had assisted others in similar circumstances who achieved favorable outcomes. He made me feel at ease and went straight to work. Within days of receiving my documents, he had contacted my witnesses and drafted a statement. SSRBs can take up to 18 months, but mine only took eight, and my promotion to the next rank has been sustained. I have no clue what I would have done without Matt. Again, thank you for rescuing my career. 10/10 would recommend for similar situations.

I was facing a serious threat to my military career as a MAJ and physician in the US Army with over 10 years of honorable and dedicated service. I received a general officer memorandum of reprimand for something I didn't do and I had to go through a board of inquiry for separation. I needed a skilled... and experienced military law attorney who could understand my situation and fight for me. Matt Barry was the perfect choice. He helped me craft a powerful and persuasive rebuttal to the reprimand, explaining the facts and circumstances of the case and highlighting my accomplishments and contributions to the Army. He then successfully defended me in the board of inquiry, where he presented evidence and arguments in my favor. He also prepared multiple character witnesses who testified on my behalf, such as my current and previous leaders in my chain of command, colleagues, and subordinates. They all praised my integrity and professionalism as an Army officer and physician. Matt was very meticulous, honest, and confident in his work. If I can pick one adjective to describe Matt, he is aggressive. Thanks to him, I was able to keep my rank and my career. I highly recommend Matt Barry to anyone who needs a military law attorney. He is the best in his field and he will not let you down.
