An Outstanding Advocate – Professional, Compassionate, and Brilliant
I can’t speak highly enough about the exceptional legal support I received from Mr. Comley during an incredibly challenging time in my military career. Being the subject of a SHARP investigation was one of the most stressful experiences I’ve ever faced, but from our very first conversation, Mr. Comle...
Brandon - it was a pleasure and an honor to represent you. Unfortunately, your case represented one wherein the subject of the report was, in reality, a victim of the system's misuse. I am grateful to you for your unwavering honesty, your sincere and diligent interest in your case and most importantly, your trust. I hope you never need to call on your advocate again and I wish you the best in your continuing military career - that said, if you ever need assistance, just call.

Great defense lawyer for military officers
Great help. Had a 15-6 initiated against me by a commander who some would say was retaliating against me for possible fraud waste and abuse that was uncovered occurring under their command. Despite a biased and/or incompetent IO, Joey helped me craft a rebuttal that was spectacular. Even the most bia...
It was a pleasure to help vindicate you. You are a stellar, professional officer with much left to give the Service. Sometimes IOs will draft summaries of interviews like he did in your case and rather than review them with the witness for accuracy they simply submit them as exhibits of the gospel truth. Peeling back the onion and recreating the 15-6 in your case was golden and it was wonderful when the witnesses wrote affidavits that were complete 180s from the previously submitted summaries. All the best to you and your Family!

Impressed, Highly Recommend!
I was very impressed with Mr. Comley's knowledge of military law, and his expertise. I am a former military spouse, and was facing a stressful situation involving my ex. Upon our first conversation I immediately felt relieved, and I knew that I would not have to face my situation alone. It is refresh...

Unquestionably level of care, professionalism, and competence
Joey was truly an exceptional representative/legal counselor for me and helping me achieve success and getting the case/issues at hand addressed deliberately with a very professional and tactful approach! He listened to my concerns, understand the unique dynamics of the UCMJ system and how it’s not m...
It was my pleasure to represent you and to ensure that countless Soldiers and other units will continue to benefit from your professional leadership and years of applied knowledge and skill - this old Soldier is proud that the Army goes rolling along with leaders like you still at the helm!

Excellent Counsel
Gilbert (Joey) goes past being an excellent lawyer and is a great human being as well. He very clearly explained his thoughts and plan for the situation from the beginning and as it evolved. On top of this, he consistently demonstrated his compassion for myself, and made it clear he truly cared abou...
Thank you Drew and I am so happy that you can put this behind you and move forward without issue. I am honored that you chose me when your character came under attack. Your extraordinary potential, as demonstrated by your academic successes and your tremendous work as an intern with the Army, is something that I look forward to watching you apply in support of America's national security. Thank you for choosing to serve and the sky's the limit.
"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."
