Best Military Law Attorney

Attorney Lawrence Willard was the best lawyer I have ever hired. His candor, timely communication, and expertise helped me get the best possible result for my case. I would absolutely recommend this law office to anyone seeking an attorney with expertise in military law.

DASEB Board

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!

Upfront, honest, and extremely knowledgeable

Lawrence was spot on and bluntly honest from the very start, first phone call he foresaw what my issue would result in and was upfront about the entire process. He walked me, sometimes holding my hand through the entire Article 15 process and gave me the most solid defense we could come up with. Not ...once did I feel out of the loop or that my time was wasted, extreme attention to detail and sound advice. I am happy I chose him and his firm to represent me

Phenomenal Legal Representation

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.

Top notch legal representation

I’m an Army E7 with over 17 years in service. Mr. Willard provided me excellent advice and thorough prep for an Army CID investigation. After getting a consult I decided that the best course of action was to hire Mr. Willard. He was extremely professional and never let me feel like I was alone in thi...s fight. He was always responsive even though there was a time zone difference. I filled out an online consult request and within hours received a phone call to better understand my case and offer services. I wholeheartedly recommend Mr. Willard for any representation that requires knowledge of the UCMJ, Army CID investigation process and representation.
