Military counsel

Willard provided excellent counsel in regards in my case. Being unfamiliar with PBR’s, he was able to walk me through the experience by providing consistent communication and realistic expectations with multiple courses of actions. I appreciated his ability to be professional and personable throughou...t the process. I would recommend him to anyone that finds themselves in need of counsel.

The attorney you NEED by your side.

For my administrative separation board where I was ultimately retained, and in all matters prior to, Attorney Lawrence Willard displayed an exceptional level of knowledge, professional expertise, and ability to create and execute an effective defense on my behalf. His confidence and tenacity in the f...ace of board members as well as the government prosecutor were nothing short of excellent, he is absolutely the attorney you want by your side if facing any allegations. Doing the research to find this law office and hire Mr. Willard was the best choice I made in my defense. I can recommend his services with absolutely no reservations.

15-6 Investigation

Attorney Lawrence Willard assisted me with a 15-6 investigation that would have negatively impacted my 20+ year career in the Army. His attention to detail, and prompt, thorough action throughout the investigation led to the best possible outcome for me and my family. Lawrence has an encyclopedic kno...wledge and understanding of the UCMJ and his time as an Army JAG Officer allows him to see and approach cases in a manner that ensure the best possible outcome. His fees are very reasonable for the service and the peace of mind that he provides. I highly recommend his services and encourage anyone that is facing legal troubles in the military to contact him. He should be your first and only call as early as possible in the process.

Board of Inquiry

Attorney Willard went above and beyond! I am truly grateful for his professionalism, care and due-diligence in the handling of my case. He fully exceeded my expectations in helping me through my Board of Inquiry (BOI) process. I was facing separation, having served 18+ years in the Army, and was ...uncertain if I would truly have the opportunity to finish my career. Attorney Willard took the time to prepare my case, while also taking the time to prepare me for what I should expect throughout the process. His attentiveness, willingness to answer my questions, and patience to listen gave me hope in a time of uncertainty. His efforts resulted in an unsubstantiated finding and retain. My family and I will be forever grateful to both Attorney Willard and the Law Office Matthew Barry! I highly recommend Attorney Willard to any service member who requires a highly skilled, caring and truly professional attorney in their corner.

CPT, US Army

Attorney Lawrence Willard II helped me in a situation that was seemingly stacked against me. I was wrongly accused of Assault Consummated by Battery of a high ranking spouse at a unit social event off post. I was throughly investigated by CID, and thought my entire military career was over. Ended up ...only receiving a Letter of Concern, no UCMJ action, complete flag removal and it was all filed locally within my unit with no further action taken to affect my career. It was because of his analysis of facts, understanding of the entire military law process from start to finish which helped protect me from any undue punishment or self-incrimination. Not only was he thorough and organized in each step, he also was professional, empathetic, and completely understanding with him being a seasoned prior service JAG Officer. If you think you might be in a situation where you’ve been informed of an investigation or think you might be, don’t wait, I recommend you call him immediately so you can get ahead of any of the challenges ahead. My career is definitely saved and still managed to receive a top block evaluation during it as well because I was confident in his counsel, mentally prepared for any outcome, maintained my dignity, stayed focused on my job, and held my head up high knowing he had my back and was available at all times. I truly am happy to have called Lawrence and would recommend him to anyone. 10/10 and I’m also not someone who doesn’t do reviews often or sugar coats things. World class lawyer and expert in UCMJ field particularly. Thank you Lawrence!
