Matthew Louis Barry

Mr. Barry was extremely beneficial to my misconduct investigation. Not only did he accurately and extensively explain to me the inner-workings of the West Point adjudication system, he properly communicated with me and the Office of the Staff Judge Advocate to keep me in the loop of what was happenin...g to my case. Could not recommend enough.

I hired Matt to represent me for a GOMOR and separation proceeding. Matt put together an amazing rebuttal packet that helped me get a rather quick and positive resolution. He was far more knowledgeable than any of the military lawyers I consulted. He is aggressive, thorough, very responsive, and g...enuinely cared about me as his client. He was able to accurately tell me what to expect at each step in the process. His knowledge, experience, and willingness to quickly and thoroughly answer all my questions helped alleviate a lot of stress in what was otherwise one of the most stressful times in my life. I would highly recommend hiring Matt over using on base legal representation if you want the best possible outcome.

When I was informed that I was facing separation from the Army I hired attorney Barry. He worked with me and represented me for over a year. He wrote a masterful response to my initial notification of separation memo. Once my separation board date was established, he went to work putting together a d...efense. In the end we never had to go to a separation board. Attorney Barry opened a dialog with the Division JAG and came to the agreement that I could retire in leu of a separation board. Attonery Barry was always easy to reach and kept me informed of everything that was going on. As board dates changed, he made sure that I and the military were always in the same loop. When the military was being unreasonable with board dates, he kept his cool and came up with solutions that worked for everyone. He is very calm, levelheaded, blunt and will tell you exactly what he thinks the best options are. When any legal action is being taken against you from the military you need a qualified expert on your side. Attorney Barry is just that. Do not put the trust of your military career in the hands of an attorney that does not have your sole interest. I highly recommend Attorney Barry. He will be active for your specific needs/case and will NOT leave you out of any communication he receives.

Matthew, cut through the noise that I created and was created. He helped me understand the legal requirements and spoke for me once he understood my situation. He reached out to people that I listed and asked them the questions that answered the direction we were taking my case. Wealth of experience ...and knowledge in n the area of Army 15-6 investigation and equal opportunity case, specific to AR 600-20.

Truly exceptional work and would absolutely recommend to anyone needing military legal advice and assistance. Gave excellent advice. Was quick to respond to my phone calls. Courteous and helpful in every way. Would 10/10 recommend to anyone in the military, any veteran, or anyone searching for legal ...advice in general.
