Lawrence Arthur Willard II

I hired Mr. Willard to help me with the DASEB process. Mr. Willard did a phenomenal job with my initial consultation before hiring him to help me understand the process and what steps were needed in order to be successful with my case. After hiring Mr. Willard, his turnaround time for having a packer... together was fairly quick and once I received my support letters to add to my packet, we worked together for a final draft before sending it off. The outcome of my overall case was successful and my GOMOR and any related documents were moved to my restricted file thanks to the help of Mr. Willard and I’m forced grateful for him and his team tremendous support!

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!

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.
