Lawrence Arthur Willard II

If you find yourself searching for a defense attorney to represent you in a military case, search no further; you’ve come to the right place here with Mr. Lawrence Willard II. You absolutely cannot go wrong in retaining him. I know exactly what you are thinking and exactly what you are going through ...because I was just there and felt bombarded with questions and uncertainty. You’ve given numerous years of service to your country but if you are facing criminal investigation/charges, you are about to see a side of the US military that very few people have seen and the odds will be severely stacked against you. The military judicial system is in place to protect the government and not you as the service member so for that alone, you absolutely NEED a solid defense team that has a breadth of experience, competence, knowledge, and tenacity, all of which you will find with Mr. Willard. Once I was notified of an OSI investigation being opened on me for false allegations, I immediately began searching for an attorney who would fight for my innocence which led me to Lawrence. He reached out to me the same day and began to put my mind at ease knowing he would be in my corner bringing his years of experience both as JAG and as civilian counsel in UCMJ cases. Throughout the entire two years of my proceedings, Mr. Willard never missed a beat and was on top of everything at each and every turn. He was clear and concise about each step and always made sure to explain everything that was happening and also gave realistic expectations for what was next to come in anticipation of the government’s next move(s). You can put your faith and trust in Mr. Willard as he proved to me that he was very experienced and knowledgeable in these cases, and know they UCMJ inside and out. The detail and thoroughness that Mr. Willard puts into his work is impressive and unmatched. The prosecution team would have been put to shame with what our defense team was bringing to the fight. Luckily in my case, things were resolved before trial but I am more than confident that we would have obtained a victory nonetheless even if we had gone to trail. I was facing life in prison due to the actions of a vindictive former spouse but I am here today thanks to Lawrence. My family and I are extremely grateful for Mr. Willard’s help and representation and he was worth every penny! Do yourself a favor and contact Mr. Willard to start laying the groundwork for your defense. The peace of mind alone will be worth it.

First off I’d like to start this review by saying that the legal representation and the moral support I received from Mr. Willard was beyond all my expectations and I could not be happier with his services. I was facing 2 false allegations for aggravated sexual contact while preparing for a deploymen...t with the national guard. I was facing a Field Grade Article 15 and Administrative Separation. After hiring Mr. Willard for my defense the entire composure of the prosecuting unit completely changed. Mr. Willard regularly contacted them pressing them for updates, keeping me informed throughout the entire process. The hesitation the JAG had going forward was palpable because they knew who he was and his reputation. He had an in depth answer for me for every question I could think of and was available every day to be reached for contact. He did in depth prep with me as often as I needed it and throughly went through my case asking me questions and built me a phenomenal defense that lead to me being found Not Guilty of all charges and speculations, with the administrative separation being dropped. Had I decided to take my chances with an appointed lawyer I firmly believe I would have been found guilty because they could never match the hours of work he put into my case and the tenacity to which he regularly got updates and routinely asked for more information while simultaneously keeping me informed of every action the JAG was taking. On top of all of that he kept it completely real, he never made ridiculous promises and guarantees that he knew he couldn’t keep. Even during my Article 15 hearing the brigade commander commended the defense packet as being the most thorough and well put together defense he had even seen. Even further when the prosecution was attempting to cut corners or create obstacles he called them out and ensured the process was done as was to be expected. Mr. Willard not only helped me to win my case, but in doing so he gave me my purpose and life back and I am eternally grateful. If you are seeking legal assistance and you come across Mr. Willard search no further, because you won’t find a more dedicated and qualified individual to help you.

I found myself staring trouble in the face when I found myself facing multiple charges of Abusive Sexual Contact and Sexual Assault. I emailed the Law Office of Matthew Barry and was greeted by a prompt phone call from Mr. Willard. From the start he was upfront and honest, and was prompt with all pho...ne calls and meetings. Mr. Willard was very helpful in getting all my charges dropped with a approved Chapter 6. If this had gone to trial I 100% feel we were fully prepared to win and be acquitted of all charges. I recommend Mr. Willard whole heartedly and with my full trust in him to help anyone that is dealing with any military predicament you are facing. 10/10

Mr Willard has been amazing from the beginning. He had his work cut out for my case, but from the beginning he was level headed and knew who to call to make moves. Mr Willard, had drawn interest in me and I got rid of my previous lawyer due to his better judgment. He started my case well before we ev...en discussed payment, and was flexible and understanding at all times. Mr Willard saved me from a very unfortunate situation, and fought hard at every hearing for me. He’s an aggressive go-getter lawyer that when you give him everything he ask you for, you know he’s going to fight tooth and nail in court. I never had to speak but a few times. I had my full life in his hands and trusted him with it, and I’m glad I did he saved my life and got me the results I wanted. Mr Willard is straight forward from the beginning, and will tell you all the possibilities depending on how far along you are in your court process. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Mr Willard to all soldiers. He stayed in contact with me even when he was many hours away, at another base with another hearing. A lot of the process is going to feel like that “Hurry up and wait” feeling, but when Mr Willard needs something get it! The faster you do the better your case will be. I honestly had no issues will Mr Willard, I had my TDS assigned lawyer. That Mr Willard had help and handle paperwork and anything Mr Willard felt comfortable willing to hand over. I assigned Mr Willard as my primary lawyer, and he got the job DONE!

I was moved to hire attorney Willard after reading amazing reviews online and I am extremely happy to have him represent me with my case. He is very knowledgeable with military law and a straight shooter on the best possible route for your case. In less than four months of working with him, my DUI GO...MOR was approved by DASEB for transfer into my restricted file. He was successful in lifting a large burden off my shoulders and now I can put the past behind and focus on my future endeavors. Thanks again sir.
