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!

Rapid resolution

I was charged a field grade article 15 five days before my orders ended. However after I was read my article 15, a copy was not given to me until 2 days before my orders ended. My chain of command advised me to hurry up and not seek legal counsel. I quickly contacted attorney Willard and explained th...e situation. He worked very quickly and was patient with me answering all my questions. He explained all the possible outcomes and all my options. He sent one email to my chain of command stating that according to army regulation I must be given a copy of the article 15 and 48 hours to respond. Since my orders were ending in 36 hours once I was finally given a copy. The Article 15 was dropped. This could not be possible without Attorney Willard!

Lawrence A. Willard II

My experience with Lawrence A. Willard II was phenomenal. I truly believe he helped complete the impossible with my case, gaining me the best outcome achievable. He was very knowledgeable in handling the GOMOR case, and everything military. Knowing this was a time sensitive case, he also went above ...and beyond to ensure everything was correct and completed. Took his time listening and understanding everything I had to say, and gave me great professional insight on how to handle things. I trusted him with my career, and he did not disappoint in any way.

15-6 Investigation

I was approached for a 15-6 investigation and took to researching an attorney to represent me in proving my innocence. From reviews such as this, I was confident in my decision to retain Mr. Willard. Upon speaking with him I was immediately impressed with understanding and the plan he laid out for my... defense. He promptly contacted the IO and informed him I was now represented which made me feel protected from any coercion. Mr. Willard went above and beyond my expectation with his communication, consultations and assistance with my case. I would highly recommend him and his firm for all legal representation for military proceedings. A big kudos to you Mr. Willard!

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.
