The Absolute Best!

Patrick helped me with a complicated and drawn out case. As a healthcare provider facing legal issues can be detrimental, so having good representation is a must. I met with various lawyers, but Patrick’s knowledge of military law, rules, and regulations was extremely impressive. During our consulta...tion call, with no prior knowledge of my situation, he was able to tell me exactly what the case would entail, the outcomes that I could expect, and accurately reference Air Force guidance. From the moment he began representing me I felt supported. He immediately began communicating with my command and advocating for me. Patrick fought hard for me and thanks to him we had a favorable outcome.

Gets The Job Done!

I couldn’t be happier with the help and guidance that Patrick gave me dealing with a legal matter regarding my military past. I was in full panic-mode when I got on Google & found him. He answered the phone, listened, & got to work tackling my serious issue. (I could have lost my job b/c of this so... when I say it was serious I’m not exaggerating.) Patrick is a former Navy JAG and I knew I needed someone with that background & knowledge due to my situation. He was always prompt in responding when I emailed him something, kept me updated & included each step of the way, and did what he said he was going to do crazy fast every time. Due to his actions the matter has been resolved and I can breathe again. HIGHLY recommend him.

Excellent Legal Advice and Guidance

As a person always on the right side of the law, I was caught off guard and in a situation where I needed legal advice quickly. After researching several attorneys, I decided to hire Patrick. His sound advice and guidance made the most stressful time of my life bearable. Without his help, I would hav...e been uninformed and worried for months on end. Because of his involvement in my case, my legal matter had a successful outcome. He has many connections that proved to be valuable assets for obtaining information and keeping me informed. He's was readily available for questions and concerns, and always reached out promptly when he had information pertaining to my case. He has EXCELLENT knowledge of military procedures and law. If you find yourself in a situation where guidance is needed, I suggest you hire Patrick. The peace of mind in itself is worth the money.

The best

Pat Korody isnt just a great lawyer, he is an even better person. Because of how thorough he is and his dedication to this client (me), he was able prove that the case brought against me was in the baseless. This man went the extra mile to get to know me as a person which helped him prove our case. ...Thank you Pat!

Army Administrative Separation Board

Mr. Korody is by far one of the most talented and experienced military defense attorneys in the country! I was facing an administrative separation for a positive drug screen. When I first found his website I was concerned because Mr. Korody is a former Navy JAG and I am Army, but Mr. Korody was 100% ...versed in all DOD and Army drug testing policies and procedures. I am so happy Mr. Korody agreed to take my case, nothing feels better than having someone fight on your behalf. Mr. Korody handled all the communication from my command and he immediately went to work building a strong defense. For you this is the most important thing going on in your life. You have been accused, you are being shunned, your career is on the line, and your family’s livelihood is being threatened. You are going to want your case handled with the upmost care and attention. With Mr. Korody I honestly felt like he was handling it as if it was his own career and family on the line. Every document, every conversation, every procedure, every single regulation will be scrutinized ten times by Mr. Korody. This man is a consummate professional and is a master of his craft. With my case Mr. Korody built such an aggressive defense that the prosecutor recommended to my Commander that I be retained and my administrative separation board be cancelled immediately. Even after the case was finalized Mr. Korody has still called to check in on me. Don’t waste any more precious time and call Korody Law now!

"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."
