Adam Jones Cumberworth

Trying to get my discharge upgraded was a frustrating and long situation. I was told by many people that it would never happen including other JAG officers. Obviously this was discouraging but when I hired Adam Cumberworth he walked me through the process and answered my numerous questions. He even s...topped me from making a huge mistake of going through different routes which would likely have ruined my chances. He never gave me false hope and made sure I had realistic expectations but I was assured he would do everything in his power to fight it till the end. Thanks to Adam, I was able to get my discharge upgraded, reclaim my GI Bill as well as reenlist. Definitely worth it and would recommend.

I am a United States Navy Chief Petty Officer stationed in San Diego, CA. I was facing an ADSEP after serving 20 years of faithful military service. My charges were indecent language and dereliction of duty of unbecoming of a Chief Petty Officer. I searched and searched for an attorney to defend me f...or reasonable price. After speaking with Mr. Cumberworth about my case he gave it some thought and called me back to say that he can help me. I broke down in tears because finally I have way forward. He took all the facts and evidence and put together a great package for my defense. The day finally came on 9/11 for us to fight for my life and career. We went in the courtroom and told the truth and I owned up to the bad choices I made. He was tactful and aggressive with the delivery of my redemption, continue to serve, and the three board members retained me. The board consisted of three highly respected Surface Warfare Officers and I could not be so grateful in their decision of seeing all the facts, evidence, and giving me a second chance to serve my country to lead Sailors and Marines. Mr. Cumberworth is and will always be a friend and compassionate attorney who works to get the best results. Thank you Mr. Cumberworth God Bless you and your family.

This is a review of Adam Cumberworth as my military attorney. After getting railroaded by an incompetent ADC and a corrupt military prosecutor in a court martial, I talked to several military attorneys. Adam Cumberworth was the only one that was personable and listened without first mentioning money.... I told him about my case and what happened and he explained my options, never pressuring me with a scorched earth alternative. I hired him for a discharge board that in a worse case scenario would have me booted out with an other than honorable discharge. This would have caused me to lose all my military/VA benefits after 16 years of service. Adam did an outstanding job getting witnesses and gathering evidence to present my case to the board. He even caught my Commander, a Lt. Colonel, blatantly perjuring himself to the point he refused to answer any further questions. This not only destroyed the government's case, but showed the lengths the military would go to try and destroy one of their own. The defense he put forward was so compelling and fierce, the 7 member board had no option but to retain me and allow me to medically retire after 15 years of dedicated service. While not cheap, his fees are very reasonable and he worked with me on a payment plan I could afford. Now it's just a waiting game on my conviction appeal decision so I can move on with my life. Had I hired him in the first place, I would have never had the conviction nor the 2 years of destruction the military has inflicted. I could not say enough good things about Adam as his results thus far have saved mine and my families future. If you need a great military attorney, look no further, you have found one of the best there is. Adam, my family and I thank you from the bottom of our hearts, you truly are a blessing.

Adam is an outstanding attorney who will go the extra distance to get you the best outcome. He will take the time to talk you through the specifics of everything he is doing and will allow you opportunities to participate and shape your way forward. He really did an excellent job keeping up with me a...nd I could tell that he was directly interested in seeing my case to a positive outcome. He is highly recommended and I could not have asked for anymore support in my time of need. Thank you so much Adam.

Adam was a blessing to our family; we couldn’t have asked for a better attorney. When our son got into some legal issues in the military and away from home, the amount of stress was practically unbearable. Adam was not only extremely competent in the legal field, but was patient, kind and extremely a...ttentive to this mama. He always found time to answer any questions we had, made himself available to our son, and took the time to make sure we understood what was going on in the process and why it was done the way it was in the military world. If you are unfortunate enough to be dealing with legal issues in the Military world – please know you would be extremely FORTUNATE to have Adam as your attorney!!!!
