Officer GOMOR

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!

Company Commander at JBLM

Attorney Lawrence provided outstanding representation for my case. He was consistently available whenever I reached out, promptly responding to my emails and calls. His optimism about my situation was reassuring, and he thoroughly explained all my options. He made the separation process easy to under...stand. I've already recommended him to two of my colleagues, and I believe he is an excellent choice for anyone needing legal representation. He kept me well informed and updated on every step of the process. With over ten years of experience, he truly knows how to navigate the complexities of military law and is always clear about potential outcomes. Thank you, Attorney Lawrence, for your dedicated service and genuine care for your clients.

Mr. Willard Review

Attorney Willard is an outstanding lawyer!!! I've nothing but great things to say about him. When I reached out, I didn't even know if my Military career was still worth fighting for. I've got over a decade in the Military and was on the verge of being kicked out with an OTH. I was defeated mentally,... by all the Military legal documents I was receiving and the potential penalties. To me, fighting it only delayed the inevitable. I was hesitant to hire another lawyer and go through additional court hearings. However, after consulting with Mr. Willard, he brought in a positive outlook and some much-needed light into my situation. From our initial conversation over the phone, he laid out my options and how he would best tackle different scenarios. He's the real deal!!! Extremely organized and very thorough. He's always had great communication and been easily accessible. He is someone who I wish I reached out to in the beginning, even though we are in different states. Don't let that deter you from hiring someone who will fight for you when you feel like you can't fight for yourself. You will not regret your decision by using Mr. Willard to represent you in your Military Legal matters!!!!

Military counsel

Willard provided excellent counsel in regards in my case. Being unfamiliar with PBR’s, he was able to walk me through the experience by providing consistent communication and realistic expectations with multiple courses of actions. I appreciated his ability to be professional and personable throughou...t the process. I would recommend him to anyone that finds themselves in need of counsel.

Board of Inquiry

Attorney Willard went above and beyond! I am truly grateful for his professionalism, care and due-diligence in the handling of my case. He fully exceeded my expectations in helping me through my Board of Inquiry (BOI) process. I was facing separation, having served 18+ years in the Army, and was ...uncertain if I would truly have the opportunity to finish my career. Attorney Willard took the time to prepare my case, while also taking the time to prepare me for what I should expect throughout the process. His attentiveness, willingness to answer my questions, and patience to listen gave me hope in a time of uncertainty. His efforts resulted in an unsubstantiated finding and retain. My family and I will be forever grateful to both Attorney Willard and the Law Office Matthew Barry! I highly recommend Attorney Willard to any service member who requires a highly skilled, caring and truly professional attorney in their corner.
