Clare C. Hodge III

Mr. Clare Hodge is an amazing attorney and I would hands down, recommend him to anyone in the service or who served prior who needs legal assistance regarding a UCMJ matter. When I initially found myself in a difficult situation while serving on Active Duty, I called and interviewed several legal fir...ms specializing in UCMJ cases. No other law office was as proactive as he was. Specifically, as soon as I hired him, day one, he and his team drafted up several documents immediatley to defend me in my current situation. At this point in time, I was advised that I would likely go to an Administrative Discharge Board and he was the only attorney that was willing to go on the offensive and submit documentation immediatly whereas every other law firm essentially said we would have to wait until the future incumbent board for their assistance. Fast foward to present day and Mr. Hodge and his team succesfully fought and prevented the Administrative Discharge Board from ever taking place. I am still working on Active Duty and I continue to work with him as he aids me in submitting an Administrative Board of Corrections of Military Records (AFBCMR) for rescinding a wrongful LOR, Demotion, and Referral EPR. No one cares more about your career than yourself and Mr. Hodge truly encompasses that mindset to ensure you receive the best outcome possible, should you find yourself in a compromising situation. He has been amazing for my family and I through this difficult time and he can be the shield you need in these difficult times. Thank you Mr. Hodge!

I can’t recommend Chip enough. He recently represented me at my administrative separation board, and thanks to his skill and dedication, we won. From day one, his work ethic was unmatched. He put in countless hours dealing with continuance requests, filtering through every piece of evidence, and maki...ng sure the case was perfectly built. What truly sets him apart is how he performs both in and out of the courtroom. Behind the scenes, he was meticulous, strategic, and always a step ahead. In the hearing itself, he adapted quickly on the fly, responding confidently to unexpected turns and quickly adjusted the strategy to turn the board in our favor. His background, charisma, and his well-roundedness gave me a lot of confidence during a stressful process. He cares about his clients and fights hard for them. If you want someone who is sharp, dedicated, and is utterly relentless in pursuing the best possible outcome, Chip is who you want in your corner.

In 2023 I hired Chip and MJA to represent me at my Board of Inquiry (BOI). For 3 years he provided priceless legal advice and guidance, which eventually led to me being acquitted of all charge and retained in the Army. I never would have been able to make it through this process and come out the othe...r side without Chip’s help. I cannot recommend Chip and MJA enough. Absolute game changer. Thank you
