Michael S. Waddington

I did not really realize the credentials Michael had before I met him. He’s written numerous books and it shows that he has a lot of experience. I think if I had only used the military defense I would have received an OTH. My discharge will say honorable and I could not be happier. Worth every cent. ...I have the ability now to recover my life. I could not be more thankful.

Our son was being tried on multiple counts of sexual assault and simple assault. The Trial Defense Services military attorney appointed for his case wanted to use a "crime of passion" defense even though our son was innocent across the board. After a very disappointing 412 hearing it was clear we n...eeded new representation. We found Mr. Waddington and immediately hired him to represent our son. With less than 70 days before the trial he analyzed the situation and charges and came back with a hard hitting defense that destroyed the prosecutions case and witnesses. Had we not hired him, our son would be in prison instead of immediately being un-flagged and re-enlisting. I recommend Michael Waddington to any military member who needs aggressive, knowledgeable, and highly competent representation. He was worth every penny!

I can't exactly remember how I came across Mr. Waddington, but I watched some YouTube clippings of him and decided to set up a phone consultation. I was being charged with 4 sex crimes and 2 other felonies by the United States Army. Unbeknownst, they charged me without even having evidence back to so...lidify their claims; needless to say it was a witch hunt. I was at the lowest point of my career and life and ready to rollover and accept life in person and having to register as a sad oddender. Until I spoke with and hired Mr W. He demolished and embarrassed the military in the most professional of ways without even having to present witnesses or evidence other than a compelling closing argument. He fights your case as if he used to be a crooked prosecutor. He really knows the evil, corrupt and crooked games they play and the right questions they ask. He considers all scenarios and eloquently makes his arguments with more or less. He was able to get me acquitted on all of my sexual assault charges and burglary off of cross examination and thought - provoking rhetoric alone. I could only imagine what he can do when he really has to roll up his sleeves. He's really in a class of his own as far as defending sexual crimes and is worth every penny. Trust me when I say you CANNOT afford to NOT have him on your side. It's an experience I will never forget and thanks to him I can remember it as a free man.

Mr. Waddington is by far the best military lawyer anyone could ask for. I retained his services two years ago regarding a BAH fraud case that was causing me insurmountable despair and grief. After 19 years in the Army, I was about to lose everything I worked so hard for, personally and professionally.... From the moment I retained his firm, they immediately got on board and took charge of my case. Mr. Waddington kept my spirits high and reassured me that he was going to do everything in his power to make sure my case would have the best possible outcome. When he was in court, Alexandria would answer any questions I had. In the beginning he set out realistic goals of avoiding a conviction, avoiding prison, and saving my Army retirement. This thing drug on for a long time but Mr. Waddington told me that the longer it takes in this type of case, the less likely that I would get charged. At times, I must admit, I wanted this over with more than anything else and my anxiety was sky high. He told me to stand fast so I could get over 20 years. One time, I called to complain about my situation and he reminded me that I was still a free man, I had my family, and was getting paid. He told me things could be much worse and to have patience. He was right and I appreciated the reality check. Through his tireless work, no charges were filed and I received administrative paperwork and was allowed to retire .
I am positive that without his help, I would have ended up being charged and forced into a plea deal, going to jail and losing my retirement. I am thankful for the privilege of having him represent me. Not only did he save my career, I have my life back and my peace of mind. Thank you Mr Waddington. I would recommend him to anyone without reservation.

I got to know Mr. Waddington quite well. He is the GOLD Standard and is one of the most humble human beings ever.  His attention to detail and confidence are un paralleled.  I was completely helpless for the first time in my life, facing a stacked deck.  Upon retaining his representation, I took the ...first step in evening the odds in what he likes to call trial warfare.  Every conversation I had with him gave me hope; that I stood a chance in a political driven agenda to get convictions no matter the facts or evidence.  You can read every review and watch all Mr. Waddington's youtube channels and understand he is a winner and elite.  One interaction I had with him was how he wanted to attack my case and he said "Lets Go to War!!"  I knew right than I made the right decision. Always be honest and upfront with him and this will create opportunity for the best possible outcome.  You really have to take a look in the mirror and be reasonable.  I was fully acquitted of all my serious charges.  I will never forget that feeling for as long as I live. Upon the announcement of the verdict I nearly collapsed.  My career, my life, and my future was completely in his hands and he took it as seriously as I did. He is a warrior in the courtroom and never backs down. I highly recommend you retain his services as early as possible, don't chance it!!  I will be forever grateful for his hard work and dedication in getting my life back.
