Lawrence Arthur Willard II

I hired Lawrence Arthur Willard II to represent me in a military case. From our first consultation, he demonstrated not only a deep commitment in helping others but a strong understanding of military law and professionalism. Something that stood out to me from the beginning of this case was his ded...ication towards my case. Lawrence Willard II was detailed, strategic, and organized. He walked me through every step of the process, made sure I understood my case. I’m grateful to have had someone so competent and ethical. I would highly recommend Lawrence Willard II to anyone navigating a military legal case.

I was facing an Other Than Honorable discharge after three years of investigations, false allegations, and repeated battles against unjust GOMARs. I was told by TDS that I would likely lose most of my medical and retirement benefits, and I felt that due process was not being followed. This ordeal nea...rly destroyed my career and my mental health. Then I was referred to Attorney Willard and The Law Office of Matthew Barry. From our first conversation, Attorney Willard’s knowledge, focus, and commitment were clear. He guided me through the Board of Inquiry process with thorough preparation, including mock boards, detailed coaching, and consistent communication that kept me confident and ready. During the hearing, Attorney Willard presented facts, evidence, and my testimony in a way that helped the board truly understand my situation and my character. His opening and closing statements were powerful, persuasive, and professional. At every stage, he remained composed, strategic, and fully in control of the process. Because of his tireless work, my 19-year Army career was saved, and I was retained. After three long years, I can say without hesitation that Attorney Willard stood by me, advocated for me, and gave me the best chance to be heard. I would trust him with my life. God bless this law firm, and God bless Attorney Willard for giving me my career and peace of mind back.

I cannot recommend Attorney Willard highly enough. I was facing a GOMOR right before promotion and PCS. - the worst possible timing. If it was not adjudicated quickly and filed locally, I would no longer have a military career. From the very first consultation, Mr. Willard demonstrated unmatched... expertise, responsiveness, and a deep understanding of military law and the nuances of GOMOR cases. His strategic approach, meticulous attention to detail, and effective communication with leadership made all the difference. Mr. Willard helped craft a thoughtful and persuasive rebuttal, and his advocacy ultimately resulted in the GOMOR being filed locally and in time to promote. If you’re a service member dealing with administrative actions, having the right attorney is essential. Mr. Willard was exactly that—professional, sharp, and genuinely committed to my case. Absolutely worth every penny!
