Excellence

From day one excellence! Drom the initial consultation to until final adjudication I received nothing assurance and the most professional guidance and representation. Attorney Willard fought tirelessly to achieve the most positive outcome for me. He often had to educate the SJA on the rules and ...regulations covering my situation and procedures. I highly recommend that if you need a defender in your corner then Mr. Willard is your guy!

Phenomenal Legal Representation

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.

When hard work and prayer come together!

I reached out to Mr. Willard while my husband was being transferred from Kuwait facing some serious charges . We were truly facing an impossible and hopeless situation. My husband was facing his second court martial and had put in over 27 years in the Army. The government wanted to confine my hu...sband for over a year and take his retirement. Mr. Willard took our case with confidence and worked diligently for our family. All we wanted was to retire and not lose everything after 27 years of service. His countless hours, calm demeanor kept us hopeful. He stayed in constant contact with us throughout the entire process . We never had to call him to check in he would keep us updated and encouraged throughout the entire process . He came in prepared , professional and very knowledgeable of the law and everything concerning our case and our family . He put together a great defense and a Stellar case to get the outcome we prayed for . Words can’t explain the gratitude we have for the hard work and work ethic that Mr. Willard put towards our case . Our family’s future was in his hands and he delivered a massive WIN for us . We are forever grateful for all the work that he put in to get us our desired outcome . I would tell anyone that is looking for someone that will fight for them to hire Mr. Willard and his law-firm . He will fight for you as if it were his own family and that’s the type of lawyer you need in your corner .

QMP

From the beginning it has been nothing but professional and personal. I had a better understanding after speaking with Attorney Willard about the QMP process than with all the other attorneys I spoke with. I searched for what seemed like forever and spoke to various attorneys to include the trail def...ense ones on post. Amazing work and assistance throughout the entire process.

Phenomenal Lawyer!!!

Lawrence was knowledgeable, patient and just all around a great person. Despite the time difference, I was in Korea he made himself available at all hours for any questions I had. I don’t know when he sleeps but he’s the MVP you want in your corner. He knew exactly what my statement needed and my ch...aracter support statements to deliver my message successfully to the Army. Would recommend highly to anyone needing legal assistance with UCMJ matters
