Matthew Louis Barry

Mr. Barry knows the system so well he can predict CID's behavior. Knowing ahead of time exactly how they would treat me, what questions they were going to ask, and how to respond removed a lot of the anxiety from being questioned. He knows how the process works, so when you feel like the world is cra...shing down, he already has a plan on how to navigate through it. My particular circumstance bridged across both military and civilian sectors and Mr. Barry was able to handle those scenarios. I greatly appreciate his solid knowledge of military law, his availability to discuss issues as they arose, and his overall professionalism. I highly recommend Mr. Barry to anyone in the military facing serious legal ramifications. I learned quickly - even if you are completely innocent - get a good attorney early! Mr. Barry should be that attorney.

Working with Matt was an incredible experience. From start to finish I could always rely on him responding a text or call within the hour, something that helped my peace of mind immensely. He was also very flexible with me and demonstrated patience and professionalism and understood my case very well....

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.

A Soldier filed a SHARP and EO complaint against me resulting in a commander's investigation. This was my first investigation in my 14 years in the Army, so I had no idea how to handle it and didn't want to risk going it alone. Luckily, I came across Attorney Matthew Barry after looking online for re...putable military law attorneys. Attorney Matthew was very professional, aggressive, and responsive. To help him fully understand the circumstances surrounding my case, I wrote all my thoughts down regarding the case, gathered supporting documents (email communications, etc.), and forwarded it to him. It must have been at least 100 pages worth of materials that I emailed him to use as evidence to fight for my innocence. I was definitely worried that it was information overload, and that there was no way he was going to go through all of that information and make sense of it. To my surprise, Attorney Matthew not only sifted through everything I sent him, but he skillfully and masterfully extracted all the key information from it and wrote a one-page rebuttal which resulted in my investigation being closed as UNFOUNDED AND UNSUBSTANTIATED! I was so relieved and thankful for Attorney Matthew's help in saving my career! Obviously, I don't wish to ever be investigated again, but if I ever do, he will be the first person I'm calling! His fees are reasonable and definitely worth it, and he returns your text messages/emails/calls like clockwork.
