Impeccable care, Unimaginable Results. True expert in Military law.

Patrick is brilliant but approachable. After a lengthy yet free consult, I knew I wanted Patrick on my team. Recommended by a friend, it was the best call I ever made. Patrick was a true partner during a confusing and trying season. He shouldered the yoke and walked by my side every step of th...e way. His outside of the box thinking saved my case. He is the lawyer I recommend to others. His straightforward billing underscores the transparency he brings to all dealings. No dirty tricks, just sound legal elbow grease. My honor remains intact.

Life saver

Mr. Korody represented me recently during one of the scariest times of my life. These days it seems like anyone can accuse you of anything at anytime and when the ball starts rolling it seemed like all I could do was wait for my life to be wrecked. I retained Mr. Korody to represent me. He cut thru... all of the confusion and mystery of the process. Surgically explained without fluff or spin exactly what was going to happen and what he planned to do about it. He didn’t over dramatize or inject MORE anxiety but at the same time he didn’t sugar coat things as well. Another HUGELY important thing that I want him to get credit for was access. He was a text away all the time and if I needed to talk he immediately told me when he was free to do so. THANK YOU Sir for guiding me thru this time with a completely positive outcome. I highly recommend him to anyone who will listen. Do not go thru the military process alone. Worth every penny ten times over!!!!

Great Attorney

Commander Korody did an exceptional job on my case! He was polite, open, and honest with me throughout our 6 months corresponding together. He worked really hard and diligently to get me the EXACT results I wanted and received in the outcome of my particular case. I would recommend anyone in the serv...ice or civilian sector to use him for all your criminal defense case needs.

Excellent Military Lawyer

Hiring Mr. Korody was the best decision I made when I was facing an administrative separation from the Navy. I contacted him when I received my notification and he provided intial advice and his rate for representation. His rate was very reasonable for the complexity of my case and there were no hid...den fees. He began to work on my case immediately upon our initial meeting. He began reviewing my documentation and requested discovery that day. He was able to filter through a large amount of information and select the most applicable documentation needed for my board. He worked with my appointed military counsel to further build my case. He provided frequent updates to the status of my case and answered any of my questions that came up. A few days prior to my board we met and he provided thorough guidance on the procedures of the board and what was expected of myself. During this time we were at the local JAG office and it was easily noted he was a recognized expert within military defense as many of the lawyers asked for his guidance. The day of the board I was nervous but reassured by Mr. Korody. He provided excellent representation he clearly explained my case and exhibits to the panel. His questioning of witnesses further showed his knowledge and upon his closing argument he left no stone unturned. The board return a unanimous vote of no basis for separation. I am truly thankful for all his work, effort, and constant communication with my case. I will recommend Mr. Korody to anyone who is facing punitive or administrative actions from the military.

Mr Korody is great, avvo not so much

This website denied my first review and didn't give me any specifics as to why, not happy about that. I was a client. This is a positive review. Since that wasn't abundantly clear enough in my original posting, here it is clear as day. I worked with Mr Korody on a fairly difficult case that has... been going on for about a year and a half and I was working with a different attorney before Mr Korody. Although that previous issue was dealt with successfully, there were some issues afterward that were not in my old lawyers particular wheel-house so to speak. So this is where Mr Korody comes in. Contact. Before reaching out to Mr Korody (found via google search for "[subject] lawyers in Pensacola" I had contacted a few other attorneys in both the local and not so local area. Although some did get back to me, Mr Korody responded to his website within a few hours and I was able to speak to him over the phone within a few days. In my experience he was very easy to get in touch with, very fast and prompt to respond to emails, and willing to put in the work to meet tight deadlines. Pricing. Mr Korody was very reasonable in his rates and I found no "hidden lawyer charges" or massively up-scaled charges like some attorneys may charge. Effectiveness. Mr Korody is able to ask the right questions to get the input he needs when working a case. There's some specific things you have to consider in any case and he's able to address those instead of using blanket statements or unspecific language that could be misused or misinterpreted. Also we won. Overall Mr Korody did a fine job in the work we did, for a fair price, under circumstances that were unfavorable, and we ultimately came to a successful conclusion. Thanks! This review is completely of my own words and I was in no way compensated for providing a review.

"I worked directly with Patrick for several years while he was the Senior Trial Counsel and I was the Staff Judge Advocate for the commands prosecuting the sailors. We have continued to keep in touch and I have followed his private practice. Patrick achieved remarkable results and masterfully handled a huge caseload when he was the senior trial counsel. It is obvious that the knowledge and skills he gained working as a trial counsel and defense counsel in the Navy has given him the insider perspective needed to earn the results he has. I respect Patrick for how hard he works and how motivated he is to achieve outstanding results for his clients. Without reservation, I would recommend him to anyone seeking an attorney."
