I hired Patrick Korody to help with my clearance hearing related to a guideline F item. Mr. Korody worked with me to identify the evidence needed to present a strong case and present it in the best light possible. Thanks to his experience, expert advice, and clear communication with the opposing c...ouncil my case was dismissed in my favor prior to the clearance hearing. Additional details: While searching for an lawyer to represent me, I contacted several law offices. While I was impressed by the questions and responses I received from a few lawyers, Mr. Korody actually asked me to provide a few documents related to my case. After reviewing the documents I provided, Mr. Korody called me back and provided me additional feedback on my case. It was this additional attention to detail and personal touch that gave me the confidence to hire Mr. Korody. As you'd imagine with the results provided above, I'm very happy with my decision to hire Patrick Korody.

From the very beginning of our interactions, I had a good feeling about Mr. Korody. The advice he gave was spot on throughout the entire process and he was always very open and honest. Even when I was unsure along the way, he reassured me to trust the process. In all honesty, there were times when... I thought "maybe we should fold the tent", but he gave me the confidence to push through. At several points in said process, I thought the ship was sinking, but he always was open and honest, evening saying, "we're taking on water, but we are not sunk yet"! I could tell, he had the gumption to take it all the way, so that's just what we did. He never made unrealistic promises and he commonly stated, "the only thing certain about a trial, is that it's uncertain". When it came to the actual trial, he ran circles around the other side, almost to the point where I wasn't sure the other side knew what was going on. His knowledge of case law was second to none. His closing argument tied everything together in a way that was so digestible, that in the end I got the best and most desirable outcome possible. One of the best decisions I have ever made without a shadow of doubt! If you need a good lawyer, you can end your search with him! ABSOLUTELY RECOMMEND!

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.

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 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!
