Lawrence Arthur Willard II

Hiring Mr. Willard was one of the best decisions I’ve made in my life. At the lowest point of my military career, Mr. Willard provided the information and advice needed to navigate the legal process surrounding my case. Not only that, Mr. Willard provided my family and I the comfort and assurance w...e desperately needed to get through my ordeal. Mr. Willard was extremely thorough and attentive to all the matters involving my case. I truly believe I would not be here continuing my Army career if it weren’t for the hard work and efforts of Mr. Willard and the Matt Barry Law Firm. I’m forever grateful. If you find yourself under investigation, you have rights. Take advantage of those rights. The investigative process in the Army in my opinion is extremely one sided and very confusing. After what I’ve been through, I would STRONGLY recommend you call Lawrence Willard and the Matt Barry Law Firm. Your career is worth it. Don’t risk it doing it alone. Louis

I am an E6 in the U.S. Army. While stationed at Fort Campbell and forward deployed, I was accused of sexual harassment. After the investigation concluded, I sought legal representation and that’s when my journey with Attorney Willard began. From the very beginning, Attorney Willard was with me ...every step of the way. Between the consistent phone calls, daily emails, and regular updates, he made it his personal mission to help me fight my case. Through every moment of doubt, every random question, and with the steady guidance he provided, we were ultimately able to overturn the case. I am not only grateful but truly honored to have had Attorney Willard represent me. I wholeheartedly recommend his services to anyone in need of legal counsel. If any of my soldiers ever find themselves in a legal situation, I will recommend Attorney Willard without hesitation. He saved my career, and I am forever thankful.

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.

Lawrence Willard is an exceptional military attorney, and provided me exceptional legal counsel, defense, and guidance in a very stressful time in my career. From the very first consultation until a final decision related to my SSRB, the level of dedication resulted in a successful outcome in my case.... Lawrence provided me clear communication, with a level of knowledge and expertise I would recommend to any military member seeking the most competent and dedicated military legal defense. Lawrence understands military legal matters as well as any attorney that I have worked with, and I highly recommend his legal counsel to represent Soldiers like me who needed his counsel for a difficult case. He is a former military JAG with a record of success, and I felt confident that I had the best chance for optimal results. This proved true with my case, and Lawrence saved my career. I am truly thankful for his dedicated service.

Mr. Willard is amazing at what he does. For context, I was a SPC under investigation for sexual assault of an alleged victim. My case was taken to a separation board, and I decided after looking into their law firm to see legal assistance in my case. Mr. Willard instantly took interest in my case,... and after noticing discrepancies in the CID interviews of the alleged victim and the SAFE report, worked with me to gather all evidence that I had slowly collected over the year of investigation to create a defense on my behalf. He was exceptional at keeping me in the loop of all legal proceedings, and preparing me for the upcoming separation board. Thanks to Mr. Willard, I was able to confidently go into the separation board, speak my side of the story, provide evidence, and was determined to be innocent of the sexual assault charge and allowed to continue my career in the US Army. If you are going through any situation where you are being accused of a crime you did not commit, and you can confidently say you didn’t commit said crime, then hire Mr. Willard. He is the kind of lawyer that will have your back throughout everything, and will support and help you fight what may seem like a losing battle.
