Exceptional Service!
I hired Joey while going through a very tough time within my Army unit. He was able to navigate the process and keep me informed throughout the investigation. Most importantly, he was my voice in the process. He was always available to talk and very accessible. Although the process with long, I alway...
Thank you for trusting the Law Office of Gilbert J Comley, PLLC with your legal needs. I wish that more service members followed your lead and reached out early in the investigative process. You need advocacy from the first report until final action, just as the Army provides the same to the Commanders on the other side of the equation. I am enthusiastic about your Army career and know that the sky is truly the limit - please know that your record of resounding success, your demonstrated excellence in the present, and your potential for greater rank and responsibility helped carry you thru this. Keep it up and thank you for all that you are doing for the Army and its Soldiers!

Breach of Contract Representation
Mr. Comley assisted our family with a breach of contract dispute with a local vendor in the Elizabethtown area. The company had failed to provide and install a product that we paid a significant downpayment for. After trying multiple times to contact the company they stopped responding to our inquir...

A must hire for military legal concerns
Gilbert Comley is excellent! Not only is he an expert at UCMJ and the Army’s administrative processes, he was able to help me understand the nuanced details surrounding the entire ordeal. His advice was paramount, based on his years of hard-earned personal experience and professional network across t...
Thank you and know that it was my pleasure to help you navigate a complex investigation to a successful outcome. Just as when you seek to investigate or dispose of investigative findings, no senior officer should have a go of it alone (without sound and comprehensive legal advice) - the need for this advice is never more heightened than it is when you find yourself in the shoes of the Respondent or Subject. The Army's Soldiers are well-served by your leadership and I am pleased to have helped ensure that it remains available to them.

Above and Beyond!
As a Honorably served Veteran and licensed Private Investigator, I absolutely endorse Mr. Comley. While this outstanding litigator was unable to assist me with my particular needs, this fellow Veteran made sure to still tirelessly look over my case, offer advice and even refer me. He is upfront a...
Thank you for trusting me with the evaluation of your case and I trust that you will be well-served by my referral. You have a case and suffered an injustice; it deserves a sincere effort at applying the law to make you whole. Soldier for Life!

Call Him! He is Phenomenal!
Mr. Comley was amazing! I was SO nervous to have a pending charge that could possibly muddy up my good reputation, interfere with mine or my husband's future career choices (he is active duty in the Army) or prevent me from being on post where I currently work and live. I had pending domestic assa...
Thank you and know that I am so happy to have helped in restoring your good name and peace in your home.
"I enthusiastically endorse Joey. While he is knowledgeable in what does, he's an even better person. He fights for his clients while maintaining his integrity and civility. Trust me when I say that this is rare in our profession. He's a great attorney, but an even better person."
"Mr. Comley is a tireless advocate, a trusted colleague, and an expert in various legal fields related to governmental and military practice. It was a privilege to serve in the Army with Joey, including our deployment together in Afghanistan. Now as a retired Soldier, and more importantly the mother of an Airman, I would trust Joey to represent me or my family."
