CID Investigation

I highly recommend Mr. Willard for his outstanding legal representation during my CID investigation. Throughout the process, he answered all my questions with clarity and provided constant updates, ensuring I was well-informed at every stage. His dedication and proactive communication with my local l...egal team here were instrumental in achieving a favorable outcome. 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.

CID Indecent Viewing Investigation

Mr. Willard helped me in a CID investigation. He guided me seamlessly through a very scary process. The outcome in legal matters can be unpredictable, so he always briefed me on the various scenarios I could anticipate in my case. After every meeting I felt I left with a clear plan of action and ...less confusion. This was especially appreciated since I was deployed and didn't have the usual resources I would have had stateside. He also responded promptly to all my messages in clear language, giving the perfect amount of detail and not being afraid to say when he did not know something. The investigation was resolved in my favor, no probable cause found and no adverse action taken. I couldn't be happier with his representation. Great job!

QMP Board process

Mr. Willard II really stuck by me throughout the whole process of my QMP board. He contacted me on numerous occasions, just to keep me up to date on the process and also he was readily available if I had any questions. He drafted an exceptional response to prove that I am an individual with limitless... potential which earned me a second chance in military. I know my hard work was due to my performance in the military, but I could have not done it without him.

Highly Recommended

After being told I was facing a 15-6 investigation for some false allegations that was detrimental to my career, I took to the internet. It had to be a stroke of luck to find Mr. Willard. I sent him an email and I received an immediate response from him. After speaking with him, I knew I had found ...the right person to represent me. He was clear and concise about each step of this investigation. He set realistic expectations and did not give me any false hope. His years of service as a JAG and civilian lawyer was clearly evident during this ordeal. My career was on the line but with Mr. Willard representation, all charges were dismissed. I am glad I did not listen to my command and go to a Trial Defense Lawyer to represent me because they are really not there for us. Mr. Willard provided me with top notch representation, and so with that said I highly recommend him. If you are looking for an attorney to represent you, look no further. Mr. Willard is here for you. Because of him I have my life back, and I can move on and continue doing great things in the military. From the bottom of my heart. Thank you, Mr. Willard.

I Owe My Freedom to Mr. Willard!

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.
