Ernesto C. Gapasin Jr.

I was found NOT GUILTY of all charges which included articles 120 (2 specifications) 120c , 128 (2 specifications). In 2021 Everything felt like it was going well, I met this woman who was going on rotation with me but I was kicked out of it when news came to me saying I was reported for a sharp inci...dent. I was confused but was QUICKLY taken to CID. I thought I could clear up my innocence (because I knew I was innocent) to CID and didn't feel like I needed a lawyer (which was my mistake that got me in the mess with a court-martial in the first place)(Don't talk to CID). They had a bias and didn't like that I kept saying she consented. After all this, I find out I am being charged with attempted rape. Fast forward to feeling like a ghost trapped with no information, flagged, and being singled out. I met my wife near the end of 2021 and married in 2022, she helped me find Mr. Gapasin on his website, when I contacted him, he told me to be honest with everything that had happened and I did, he told me that it was NOT a good idea to talk to CID. He looked further into the investigation and discovered both sides of the accused and accuser, he found that the accuser had so much contradicting evidence and it took her 2 years to admit to prosecutors that she in fact consented to kissing, touching and groping in Court. Mr. Gapasin did amazing always analyzing and using logical explanations in front of the judge and panel members, his cross-examination was incredible by Impeaching the accuser and her witnesses. The panel was in shock when they find out that the accuser was telling different versions of the story. She was constantly giving inconsistent statements that contradicted everything that she told everyone involved in the preparation for the court-martial. Her witnesses were also being VERY untruthful and disrespectful. Mr. Gapasin reminded them what they said to the prosecutors and to the government. When the government stopped bringing in witnesses to the stand Mr. Gapasin brought the CID agent to the stand and revealed the investigation was not properly conducted. Mr. Gapasin crushed it by using ONLY the prosecutor's witnesses. The day of the closing statements the panel members were instructed into the deliberation room and in just 30 minutes in that room the decision for the verdict was made...''NOT GUILTY''.My mind couldn't process if I won. When I turned my head I asked him if I did. He told me ''Congratulations you won!'' My wife, mother, and I hugged and were glad we could live a normal life again. If you are looking for an Intelligent well-spoken lawyer that knows exactly what he is talking about Mr.Gapasin is the one, Who can lead you to victory and win your cases. Trust me I know how it feels like being falsely accused for 2 years and Mr. Gapasin made my nightmares go away!

After having five separate charges against me including sexual assault and assault, I knew I needed more that just the ADC's assistance. After spending time online searching for the right attorney I came across Ernesto Gapasin. Obviously it is not easy to pick and choose a lawyer when the stakes ar...e high let alone doing it while overseas and searching online. I thank God for coming across Ernesto. He is extremely good at what he does. His tactics in and out of the courtroom left me in awe. How can one put a cost on freedom? I could not have come out of this situation a free man without Ernesto's representation. Highly recommend! Thank you sir and God bless!

I was facing serious charges of UCMJ Article 120 for sexual assault and rape. It was an extremely long process that lasted years. I retained Ernesto and he immediately began working my defense and was very upfront about the conviction I could be facing. Ernesto was with me every step of the way and w...as available 24/7 whenever I needed any help or had any questions. Ernesto's professionalism, analytical skills, cross examination, and overall performance was simply outstanding. I would not trust any other attorney with my case other than Ernesto. During the court martial, Ernesto stood out well above anyone else and proved to be an extremely valuable member of the defense team from his preparation to his execution; he left nothing on the table and gave it all he had. In the end the court found me NOT GUILTY and acquitted all charges. Ernesto's overall performance was the best anyone could ask for. I would highly recommend Ernesto to anyone who is facing serious charges if you are looking for a serious defense attorney who will do anything he can to protect you.

Ernesto is absolutely the best lawyer in the business. I was involved in a spiteful divorce with another military member who I believed was having an affair. After I notified her command of this and a investigation was launched she accused me of sexual assault and then for 18 months she continued t...o make up statement after statement against me (giving me more and more charges). Ernesto stood by me every step of the way, fighting tooth and nail against the corruption. He was there when I wanted to give up (and believe me I really, really did more than once). The charges made up against me would have ruined my entire life forever. Ernesto saw through the corruption, believed in me and fought our way to victory and showed the government none of what this woman said ever happened. If I had hired anyone else I believe I would have lost my life. Ernesto literally saved my life against someone who wanted to hurt me in the worst way possible and against a very overbearing and overzealous prosecution. I cannot thank Ernesto enough for standing by and protecting and helping me for the past 18 months. He has given me my life back and I am eternally grateful.

Mr. Ernesto Gapasin is the best lawyer you can hire. I will not hesitate to hire him. He defended me against the “hand-picked” best prosecutors in the Pacific. I believe my case is in the “unofficial” military record of facing most number of charges with the result of FULL Acquittal in the militar...y Court-Martial. I faced false allegation charges from Rape, Sexual assault, to other military related charges that were initiated by foreign ex-wife whom wanted a revenge for divorcing her. My corrupted chain of command supported her and added other charges to make sure I will be found guilty of something…if not all and to make me look bad in front of the panel members. I faced over 100 years in confinement if I was found guilty of all charges. From the allegations, investigations, Article 32 hearing, and to the date of Court-Martial took almost 15 months. In the court, Mr. Gapasin was able show the Officer panel that she was lying from the beginning and displayed her evil and vindictive motives to destroy me. The judge and panel members could be believe how my chain of command and prosecution team wasted their time and government's money to have the court martial against me. During the 15 months, was my hardest moment in my life and Mr. Gapasin was there for me each and every day. He believed in my case and I believe in his ability to defend any clients like he did with me. I trust him 100% with my life because he literally saved my life in the court room that day. I was able to continue my Army career afterwards and have been successful. I, absolutely recommend that you hire Mr. Gapasin to represent you.
