Best sexual assault lawyer

Mr. Waddington saved my life and my career to say the least, I was charged with rape and forcibly sodomy and even thou i took a polygraph and passed the prosecutors didn’t care for it, in their twisted minds I was guilty as charge regardless of the evidence. Mr. Waddington took over my case as soo...n as I was charge and from that moment on he was involved in my case at full speed. If you want a fighting chance in a military court-martial Michael Waddington must be your first choice If you are facing off government prosecutors please I recommend you hired him because you will get some of the most bias, prejudice, and untruthful Staff Judge Advocates, Prosecutors, and Investigators in the military who as Mr. Waddington said will shoot an arrow at you and then paint the target around the arrow. I’m a 21 year career senior NCO in the Army if found guilty I was facing the possibility of spending the rest of my life in prison. What impressed me the most about Michael among other things were his knowledge of military law his experience in dealing with government prosecutors. He is a well round lawyer that knows the in and outs of the military injustice system. if you need a lawyer go to the yellow pages and find one but if you need a respectful, professional, honest, someone who takes his job seriously and is willing to fight for you , a person that is an outstanding lawyer, very experience in dealing with the government, a person whom communication skills in and out of court are the best then call Mr. Waddington. Last but not least what I respect most about him is that he truly cares about his client. I recommend Mr. Waddington to anyone who desires the very best lawyer. Mike, God bless you and good luck!!!!!

Honest and aggressive lawyer

Michael Waddington was hired onto my case days before my hearing. Right away he worked countless hours and kept me informed on all the details, whether it was good or bad. He always had a strategy and worked great with my military attorney as well. He was also able to uncover evidense that was kept f...rom us only days before my trial. Mr. Waddington proved my innosence of two charges of sexual assult. I was found guilty of undergae drinking but Mr. Waddington didn't give up there. Mr. Waddington kept fighting to have the entire court martial taken off my record. About a month later I get a message from Mr. Waddington telling me that my cout martial is being expunged. I can't thank him enough for all his hard work and his words of wisdom to get me threw the whole thing. God Bless You.

Phenomenal

If you want a fighting chance in a military court-martial Mr. Waddington should be your first choice definitely over any Senior Area Defense Counsel in my opinion!!!! My military counsel made me feel ok before the Preliminary Hearing but once I got Michael on board my confidence turned from 40/60 to... 90/10 in the matter of two conversations: which came before I hired him and after he reviewed my case...then from that day forward.....I was facing over 30 years in prison and there is no way I’m going into any court-martial without someone without his credentials. I contacted Mr. Waddington a month before my court date and he did WORK!!!! Go to court with two military appointed lawyers if you wish and "you will be calling Mr. Waddington for your criminal appeal"….I’m an airman and I put a lien against my car to get his services and after his performance in court I wanted to put a lien against somebody else’s car just to give him a bonus!!!! I recommend you get him on your team as early as possible because you have some of the most bias, prejudice, and untruthful Staff I recommend you get him on your team as early as possible because you have some of the most bias, prejudice, and untruthful Staff Judge Advocates, Prosecutors, and Investigators in the military who will try to burn you without EVIDENCE!!!! He is down to earth, laid back, makes you feel comfortable about your situation, and most importantly he knows his “XXXX aka JOB”…The only reason he received a good in kept me informed was because he is indeed a busy guy but patience is everything and he his busy because he is a GREAT lawyer...Lastly trust in God, make a positive change in your heart, focus life on the important things in life, better yourself and others, then leave the rest to Michael Waddington!!!!! GOD BLESS

18 YEAR Career Saved by Waddington

Mr. Waddington saved my 18 year military career. I was looking at losing my military retirement and everything I had worked so hard for over the past 18 years. I presented Mr. Waddington with a challenging case and after accepting it, he devoted countless hours into finding all the holes in the case,... and with his expertise along with delivery in the courtroom, I was found innocent. My family and I can't thank him enough for his time and devotion to my case. He responds to calls with an attentive ear and I couldn't be happier with his service and the outcome he brought for me. Thanks again. This is one OUTSTANDING ATTORNEY! Semper Fi!!

The Best Defense

Michael Waddington saved me from a wrongful conviction of sexual assault. I would have been in prison for possibly the next 61 years of my life. He is the best choice for anyone trying to protect themselves from the injustices of the military legal system.
