15-6 Investigation

I was approached for a 15-6 investigation and took to researching an attorney to represent me in proving my innocence. From reviews such as this, I was confident in my decision to retain Mr. Willard. Upon speaking with him I was immediately impressed with understanding and the plan he laid out for my... defense. He promptly contacted the IO and informed him I was now represented which made me feel protected from any coercion. Mr. Willard went above and beyond my expectation with his communication, consultations and assistance with my case. I would highly recommend him and his firm for all legal representation for military proceedings. A big kudos to you Mr. Willard!

Company Commander at JBLM

Attorney Lawrence provided outstanding representation for my case. He was consistently available whenever I reached out, promptly responding to my emails and calls. His optimism about my situation was reassuring, and he thoroughly explained all my options. He made the separation process easy to under...stand. I've already recommended him to two of my colleagues, and I believe he is an excellent choice for anyone needing legal representation. He kept me well informed and updated on every step of the process. With over ten years of experience, he truly knows how to navigate the complexities of military law and is always clear about potential outcomes. Thank you, Attorney Lawrence, for your dedicated service and genuine care for your clients.

QMP Consideration

Early in 2024, I was placed under QMP consideration and was facing a situation which could easily result in the end of my career. I was panicked, and had no idea where to start, what to do, or how to format a response to the QMP board. After speaking to some colleagues, they recommended my find a law...yer who has expertise here. After some digging, I came across Mr. Willard. Coincidentally enough, I made my decision to reach out to him based on reviews such as the one I am writing here now. Originally I reached out just for a consultation. I had several concerns. And he was super knowledgeable on the entire process and broke down a step by step process that his team does in order to facilitate a seamless response. He then gave me some time to think about it. After a few days, I reached back out, hired him, and started the process. He directed me every step of the way. He asks about your situation and helps to navigate a well tailored narrative for your personal response letter and builder a perfectly formatted response packet and will adjust and revise as you see fit. Once you are happy with the outcome, he sends the packet to you, and you submit it. Simplified a complicated and worrisome process and ensured my confidence was high. Ultimately, I was retained on Active Duty, and I have no doubt a huge part of that was how well put together and worded my response was. All thanks to Mr. Willard. Worth every penny to hire. If I could give 10 stars I would. Commendable lawyer! Once again, thank you Mr. Willard!

Mr. Willard Review

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!!!!

The best lifeline

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!
