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.

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!

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 a great military lawyer. He will do everything in his power to make sure you come out on top. He is a great guy and I am thankful he was there when I needed him the most. He is very professional and easy to talk to. After working with Patrick for only a short time I would consider h...im a friend of the family. Thank you Korody Law for all of your hard work and hope you continue helping the innocent.
