QMP Board Success

To begin, the firm and Mr. Willard demonstrated exceptional marketing efforts, facilitating my initial contact with their office. This step was pivotal in ensuring my comfort as I moved forward and made the crucial phone call. During the initial consultation, Mr. Willard provided me with essential ba...seline information and a realistic plan. His honesty and persistence were commendable as I deliberated on the necessary steps early in the process. Upon hiring him, he promptly supplied the additional materials required to build a strong case. Moreover, his flexible schedule accommodated my busy agenda seamlessly. Throughout the entire process, I never felt pressured without having all the relevant facts. One of Mr. Willard’s most significant contributions was his ability to highlight my accomplishments to the board in ways I hadn’t considered. His professionalism, extensive knowledge, and unwavering dedication to clients were evident. I submitted all the necessary documents, meticulously prepared with Mr. Willard’s assistance, well ahead of schedule for the QMP board. Without his guidance, I believe I would not have been retained, significantly impacting my family’s life. Thanks to him, we saved 18 years of service from going to waste.

BEST LAWYER

Hiring Attorney Willard is the best thing that I have ever did. I was falsely accused of Sexual Assault. Even with many witnesses that stated I didn't do it; the investigation came back founded and the "accuser" did not want to go to trial. So, my command decided to issue me a GOMOR to be filed perma...nently that would've initiated a mandatory separation. However, I chose to fight back because I did not do what I was accused of. But I needed help. Attorney Willard drafted an impressive rebuttal and, in the end, I was proven innocent. All SA and nonconsensual acts were dropped. He has been attentive and punctual during the nightmare that was going on for over a year. He has restored my name. Hire Mr. Willard RIGHT NOW! And Mr. Willard thank you for giving me my life and career back.

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.

YOU NEED ATTORNEY WILLARD AND THE MATTHEW BARRY LAW FIRM

Mr. Willard was immediately in my corner, fighting for me against a very toxic command that labeled me guilty of harassment before the investigation was even done. I was flagged and under investigation for 15—yes, that's right—15 months. I was treated terribly by my Battalion Command, thrown aside as... rubbish, while the person who falsely accused me was praised and promoted. Mr. Willard was hired when I was notified I was going to a separation board. After 12 years of active service, they were going to attempt to separate me from the Army on an OTH discharge. Without Mr. Willard, this would have definitely happened. He immediately gives you his 110% effort in providing the absolute best counsel possible, preparing you for interviews, cross-examination, board proceedings, the whole shebang. Because of Mr. Willard, my board findings were unsubstantiated, and I was retained without rehabilitation. He helped show the truth of the actual incident
