Mr. Willard and Barry Law are the real deal!

Absolutely the best experience dealing with a civilian attorney. From the consultation to final conclusion Mr. Willard was absolutely on my side and walked me through everything I would expect and need to do to receive the best out come for my case. For reference I received a GOMAR and Referred OER ...for a DUI and was then notified by HRC that I would be up for elimination 3 years later. From step one after hearing and reviewing all the facts, Mr Willard was impartial and honest in his assessment and believed we had a solid chance. Ever step in the process was seamless and definitely took the stress and confusion out of the scenario. His promptness and thouroghness was unmatched during the entire process and with his experience in exactly these sorts of things gave my family and me a sense of ease. We did in fact receive a favorable outcome which could not have been done without finding Berry law firm and especially without Mr. Willard in my corner. I would highly reccomend Mr Willard to anyone without hesitation. I can honestly say without Mr. Willard, I do not think I would have been able to save my career.

Committed to helping other!

I hired Lawrence Arthur Willard II to represent me in a military case. From our first consultation, he demonstrated not only a deep commitment in helping others but a strong understanding of military law and professionalism. Something that stood out to me from the beginning of this case was his ded...ication towards my case. Lawrence Willard II was detailed, strategic, and organized. He walked me through every step of the process, made sure I understood my case. I’m grateful to have had someone so competent and ethical. I would highly recommend Lawrence Willard II to anyone navigating a military legal case.

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!

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.

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.
