Keith J. Scherer

Keith Scherer is a phenomenal attorney. I was on limdu just trying to get better, but when my command found out I was recommended for the med board, they came after me. The so-called charges were UA and malingering. Now, their first attempt ever was an adsep due to anxiety, which never made it past t...he CO because it is a covered disability, it was also what caused my doctor to recommend I get switched from limdu to medbaord, but that did not stop anything; they wanted to adsep me for UA (missing a watch due to being stuck behind an accident) and in the same ten minutes walked me to another office to say they were going to adsep me for malingering. I had received my paperwork from the VA days earlier, so to say that was ludicrous was an understatement. It was clear they just wanted me out. I called Mr. Scherer with low hope as they had already covered themselves by lining up two separate adsep cases, but Keith was on it. The UA case was dropped entirely, and that left fighting the malingering charge. With him on it, the command could no longer harass me or drag me down to legal every five minutes. He helped me put together a statement detailing the harassment I faced at the command, and in the end, he gave me the confidence to keep going. He stayed with me for months, waiting and being there just in case they tried something else. We WON. The joy I felt when I called him to tell him I was getting my medical retirement was surreal. I still talk about what a fantastic attorney he is, and I have recommended him to three other friends from my former command. I have learned that he has represented two of them and won (no surprise, honestly), and the third friend just reached out, but I have faith that this time will be no different. I always describe Mr. Scherer as an animal, and he is. He is ruthless and meticulous. He has gone against my former command three times in under eight months and beaten them again and again; if you do not know who to trust with your case, trust him. He is realistic, honest, and driven. I could call him any time, night or day, with concerns, and if he did not answer a call, I just had to text. He is the only attorney I recommend and will continue to recommend. Thanks to him, I could fight and win my case. Thanks to him, I could retire medically and keep all my benefits.

My son needed an out of state lawyer, we received an extremely high recommendation about Keith, his background and his professionalism. He replied to me immediately, we had several conversations, I was able to text him any questions I had. With Keith's help, the case was dismissed for lack of prova...bility.

Hands down Keith is the best attorney to represent service members. When it comes to the government they try to bully and lie to get their way for the results they want. Keith doesn't allow that. I had a ongoing case for well over a year. At times the stress was just too much. All I had to do was pic...k up the phone and call or text Keith and he was there every time with comforting words. Midnight. Weekends. Holidays. Didn't matter he was there. Was facing a very strict punishment for being wrongfully accused of sexual assault. After over a year of his hard work I got offered a NJP and ad sep with no rights to a ad sep board. Keith wasn't happy so he kept working. Next offer was NJP With rights to the ad sep board. I wasn't happy so neither was he. He kept fighting. Ultimately leading to nothing but a NJP where I didn't even lose pay. What could have been a dishonorable discharge and life in the brig turned into almost nothing because of his hard work and dedication. He puts his clients needs and wants first. He worked very hard for countless hours dealing with my command when they wouldn't do anything for me. He truly saved my life in every way possible and i will forever be in debt to him for that!

Keith was an outstanding advisor and lawyer during a two and a half year ordeal that ultimately led to a Board of Inquiry. Throughout the whole entire process Keith provided me with amazing service and most importantly put my mind at ease. Once at the BOI, Keith provided an amazing defense and was ul...timately successful as I was retained in the Naval service. My only regret is not calling Keith sooner in the process. Thank you Keith for preserving my career and protecting what I have worked so very hard for. You have been a blessing to me and my family!!! Again my many thanks!!!

Both Keith Scherer and Greg Gagne have changed my life completely. Long story short I was accused of some pretty horrible things from my previous marriage that followed me through my separation, deployment phase and divorce that stemmed from spousal support and deployment pay eventually putting me in... an extension passing my ETS date by one year. Pretty much Family Advocacy Program, XVIII Corps Inspector General, Criminal Investigative Detectives and my whole chain of command were involved not to mention a couple of officers from Fayetteville Police Department. Being that this was a SHARP/ SARC incident I felt as though I wouldn't stand a chance at proving my innocence. Here in Fort Bragg, each defendant is allowed 2 military lawyers from Trial Defense Services at no expense and being how these specific cases (Rape, assault, etc.) are sometimes biased, the needed effort to ensure my innocence could be proven needed to be doubled. My father had been researching a good lawyer who is oriented in Court Martial cases and had plenty of positive reviews from those who were once in my shoes. After 4 long days in the court room deciding my fate by a selected jury panel, I was acquitted on all charges and I'm now a free man who will be out processing soon with my hard earned benefits and DD-214 in hand. My current wife and I can continue to live our lives without the burden or stress of my ex wife and I will be able to sleep comfortably knowing that I won't be a registered sex offender or be thrown into Leavenworth. I would suggest hiring Keith Scherer and Greg Gagne for every reason known to man, most importantly for freedom in which we as military service members had served for.
