Case Results

My husband was falsely accused, and it was an incredibly long and difficult process for our family. Throughout everything, Michael was supportive, compassionate, and always available to answer any questions or concerns we had. He truly cares about his clients and their families, and he fights hard f...or them every step of the way. Thanks to his dedication and hard work, my husband received a fully acquitted verdict, and we are beyond grateful. There are honestly no words that can fully express how thankful we are for everything this firm has done for our family. We can finally focus on bigger and better things, and that peace means everything to us. We highly recommend Michael and his firm to anyone in need of a UCMJ defense lawyer.

Professional, expert, caring for people

Michael & Alexandra Waddington, and their team showed the utmost professionalism and care for me and my case. Their professional military expertise and care for people made it possible for me to continue serving in the military. They and their team are 10 stars in my book. I trust them.

If you have been accused of a UCMJ offense, Hire this firm Immediately

If you have been accused of any UCMJ related offenses, I cannot recommend enough the law offices of Gonzalez and Waddington enough. I initially received expert guidance from Mrs Alexandra Gonzalez-Waddington and was eventually represented by Mr Michael Waddington. It is my true belief that I would n...ot have received the exceptional outcome I received without their support. They, along with their paralegal Ms. Sandra Flores, were incredibly professional, attentive, and supportive throughout the entire process. They worked tirelessly to prove my innocence, and saved my career. You will not find better representation anywhere else.

0.1% chance against the military

Before you read any further reviews, consider this... What is your career worth to you? Is it worth fighting for? Would you hire the best defense if possible for your case? Than look no further. I can not express how deeply grateful I am for Mr. Waddington. The odds were stacked against me for an ...allegation that I did not commit. No one believed me, until I hired Mr. Waddington. He constantly checked up on my case and was always available especially as I was overseas and still was able to answer any questions I had. He explained to me all my options and was straight forward with all outcomes. I believed I had a 0.1% chance of being retained let alone getting an honorable or general discharge. However, Mr. Waddington was able to provide a powerful defense. The most impactful thing that stuck out to me the most was his incredible opening and closing argument. I don't think any other attorney would have been able to pull off such an incredible defense such as he did. When I heard the board state that they are retaining me in the military, I just completely broke down as I know if any other attorney was assigned to me, I would have lost. But I am glad I stuck to my decision in hiring Mr. Waddington and would do so again. He ultimately was able to give me a chance to show that I was to be believed and I can finally move on with my life. Thank you for everything.

Difficult Situation

In May 2023 I found myself in a frightening situation. I had been notified by NCIS that I was being investigated and immediately began to spiral. I reached out to a few attorneys online and was not super impressed. A week after being notified and my mental health is suffering. Finally, I called the W...addingtons and was put in contact with Alexandra.. one of the first things she told me was that I had to take care of myself and to stay off Google (too late). None of the attorneys that I had spoken with to this point seemed to understand me as a service member who was in a bad situation AND a person. Alexandra got it. After speaking with her (also very bright-she seemed to have a plan right away), I knew the Waddingtons were the legal help I was going to use. The resolution of my case was really the best possible outcome (didn’t go to court martial-general discharge-adsep). I was prepared to take the Waddingtons as far in this case as necessary and was confident having them backing me. Just for the sake of your peace of mind, call them and let them help you!
