I’m so glad I was able to locate and retain Patrick Karody Law Firm to represent my interest in determining the value of my military retirement on the date of dissolution, rather than the current value. I have several friends who are seasoned attorneys and JAG Officers and none of them were successfu...l in helping me locate an attorney with the knowledge and experience Patrick has with military divorces and specifically filing military pay orders. Patrick was efficient, effective, and most of all the utmost professional.

After returning from my honeymoon in South America I tested positive for a prohibited drug on a post-leave urinalysis within my unit. My training was immediately frozen and I suddenly had major career implications, possibly even separation, staring me in the face in light of this positive test. Havin...g limited knowledge of the process and legal expertise needed to defend myself in the event of a positive urinalysis in the Marine Corps, I sought out an experienced lawyer. After a quick internet search by my father and I, we found Patrick, saw his credentials as a JAG and having defended similar cases to mine and never looked back. Patrick gave me immediate and invaluable advice the day I was told of the positive test and I hired him soon after. Long story short, with Patrick's expertise we were able to prove my innocence to my command as the result of innocent ingestion. No administrative or disciplinary actions were taken against me and I was promptly put back into training after the decision by my command four months after the positive test. Everything he did from advise to document drafting was exactly what I needed, when I needed it and I don't know where I'd be today without Patrick's services. I don't write reviews often but I would be remiss not to give Patrick my highest recommendation and gratitude for his work on my behalf.

Korody Law Firm is among the best in the business representing service members during trying times. Every step of the way, Korody Law Firm was with me with sage advice and excellent representation. Any questions I had were answered in a timely manner. Their knowledge of military law was impecc...able. I highly recommend this firm to any service member who requires the best representation!

Mr. Korody is a outstanding Lawyer. He guided me throughout one of the most stressful times of my military career. Advising me on my captions mast and administrative board. His ability to hear my situation and fact find throughout the whole process was remarkable. Combined with fact that he was prior... active duty JAG he has a solid knowledge of the UCMJ. Understands how command investigations are supposed to be conducted and was able to pick it apart. He completely dissected all of my commands proceedings and he was always available when I needed him.Went well above and beyond. He is very passionate and understood the stress this caused me and my family. He also worked great with my military appointed JAG. At the end of my administrative Board he was able to get a no basis (not guilty) of all the charges. After 14.5 years of service I can now continue my career and have this tremendous weight lifted off my shoulders. I would recommend Mr Korody for any military proceedings because he is the absolute best at what he does.

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.
