Lawrence Arthur Willard II

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!!!!

I (SFC/E-7 of 13 years) was faced with an EO 15-6 investigation from an underperforming Soldier. I have not had so much as a negative counseling statement, eligible for promotion to 1SG, flagged for the first time and was devastated at the potential impacts I was facing. Attorney Willard educated me... along the process, was always easily accessible, and truly listened to my concerns. Attorney Willard was quick and aggressive to ensure my rights were protected. The 15-6 was ended without negative action or recourse. I cannot thank him enough for his work!

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.

Attorney Lawrence Willard II helped me in a situation that was seemingly stacked against me. I was wrongly accused of Assault Consummated by Battery of a high ranking spouse at a unit social event off post. I was throughly investigated by CID, and thought my entire military career was over. Ended up ...only receiving a Letter of Concern, no UCMJ action, complete flag removal and it was all filed locally within my unit with no further action taken to affect my career. It was because of his analysis of facts, understanding of the entire military law process from start to finish which helped protect me from any undue punishment or self-incrimination. Not only was he thorough and organized in each step, he also was professional, empathetic, and completely understanding with him being a seasoned prior service JAG Officer. If you think you might be in a situation where you’ve been informed of an investigation or think you might be, don’t wait, I recommend you call him immediately so you can get ahead of any of the challenges ahead. My career is definitely saved and still managed to receive a top block evaluation during it as well because I was confident in his counsel, mentally prepared for any outcome, maintained my dignity, stayed focused on my job, and held my head up high knowing he had my back and was available at all times. I truly am happy to have called Lawrence and would recommend him to anyone. 10/10 and I’m also not someone who doesn’t do reviews often or sugar coats things. World class lawyer and expert in UCMJ field particularly. Thank you Lawrence!

Mr. Willard's professionalism and expertise gave me great confidence and peace of mind during a challenging time. If you need a dependable and skilled lawyer, look no further than Mr. Willard.
