Command initiated separation for 4 separate allegations. Results: Retained

Attorney Lawrence Willard was by far the best of the best! Not only is he extremely knowledgeable in what he does, he is very professional and precise when it comes to attention to detail. I was facing separation with an other than honorable discharge for 4 separate allegations. I was facing adultery... allegations, domestic violence allegations, strangulation allegations, and fleeing and evading allegations. Not only did the he uncover all the lies through evidence provided. He was also able to get everything unsubstantiated minus one. I was able to get retained and not put an end to my 8 year military career. If you’re looking at the results like I was and is in doubt don’t be. It was the best decision I could’ve made in fighting for my career. I’ve have over 5 attorneys and can say by far he was the best out of all my other attorneys without a doubt.

Should have gone to him first. Fraternization GOMOR

I hired Mr. Willard following our free consult, to assist with the transfer of a permanently filed GOMOR on my restricted file. Even with up to an 11 hour time gap, Mr. Willard's communication was timely and thorough. Mr. Willard was able to walk me through the transfer request process and assist me ...in preparing my packet, and was even able to submit the packet on my behalf while I was on mission out of country. Happy to report that the transfer request was received and approved in an expeditions manner. My only regret is not having found Mr. Willard and his firm when the investigation was initiated, as I've now learned how understaffed and inexperienced the military assistance lawyers on post are. I firmly believe that if I'd had his help from the start, I would have been able to more succinctly state my case and possibly avoided the GOMOR in whole. Regardless, the case was a success, and my hopes for both promotion and continued service have returned!

Lawrence Willard should be your first choice.

Lawrence went above and beyond as a lawyer. Due to his efforts I was able to keep my Special Forces tab and my rank and get the outcome we had hoped for. Out standing lawyer, I would highly recommend to anyone needing competent and confident representation.

Fantastic Lawyer

He was an invaluable asset throughout my Sexual Harassment Administrative Separation Board process. From the beginning, he thoroughly prepared me for every aspect of the 15-6 investigation and the board proceedings, ensuring I understood what to expect during the board and how to effectively present ...my testimony. His guidance, expertise, and support gave me the confidence I needed during an extremely challenging time. I genuinely do not believe I could have navigated this process successfully without his assistance. Thanks in large part to his preparation and advocacy, I was retained and am able to continue my military career after 16 years of service. I am incredibly grateful for his dedication and highly recommend his services to anyone facing a similar situation.

Allegations of Patterns of Misconduct

Mr. Lawrence was very professional and ethical through out my whole ordeal. He successfully defended me and thwarted the false and fabricated allegations made by CID against my character. He also provided me with the appropriate legal advice while dealing with the Army’s opportunistic behavior duri...ng my transition out of the military. Highly recommend.
