Lawrence Arthur Willard II

I contacted Attorney Willard in March 2024 after I was flagged and informed of an ongoing 15-6 Investigation. After consulting with several other attorneys, I elected to go with Mr. Willard as his rates were affordable and definitely seemed to care about my case even before I chose to retain him. ...Almost immediately, Mr. Willard got to work in representing me to my command and legal office. He provided thorough information on possible outcomes of my case and a clear path moving forward. He was also honest and realistic with me. When I received the initial investigation results and alleged misconduct from the IO, Mr. Willard helped me draft a comprehensive rebuttal against the allegations. This rebuttal was so thorough, in fact, that the brigade legal team elected to drop the two allegations - which were quite significant - in their entirety and instead elected for an allegation of lesser severity to be sent up to the CG's legal office. Mr. Willard was also aggressive and committed to my rights as a Servicemember under investigation. When the SJA office reached out directly to me via my Commander to ask questions in the latter stages of my investigation, I informed Mr. Willard who almost immediately countered this improper inquiry, reminded the SJA that he represented me, and found that the SJA was perhaps trying to ascertain further information to use against me. At the investigation's conclusion, I was issued a GOMOR with the potential to be filed permanently. However, this GOMOR was for the lesser allegation mentioned above. Although he was on leave, he still requested and got an extension for submitting my GOMOR matters within 24 hours. Mr. Willard, using my case files and the information I provided, wrote almost the entirety of my GOMOR rebuttal and provided me a means to receive support letters from individuals I commissioned with, worked with, or knew. In receiving this and the previous draft, I found that he also commands an amazing mastery in writing that expresses military professionalism with a personal touch - each time I received a draft from him, it seemed like I was the one who wrote it. As a result of the aforementioned facts, my rebuttal matters were 93 pages in length and comprehensively addressed the dropped allegations, the lesser allegation, and my character. Thanks to his assistance, the GOMOR was filed locally and I am now able to PCS from my current duty station. If you are looking for representation in any military case, look no further than Attorney Lawrence Willard and the Law Office of Matthew Barry. He is knowledgeable, honest, and will fight for you on your behalf. Should I require military legal services again, I will immediately contact Attorney Willard.

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.

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.

Attorney Willard assisted me during an investigation predicated by a DEOC Survey during my time as a company commander, where he helped me answer investigation questions, draft a response to the findings and recommendations, and draft a response to the resulting referred OER. His assistance througho...ut this process resulted in my command team choosing to forego any administrative or punitive action against me and I would recommend him to any service member in need of legal counsel.

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!
