Excellent and Compassionate

It is rare these days to find a brilliant, legal mind, a deeply, compassionate heart, and an unwavering commitment to the truth in an attorney these days. If you want someone with integrity and who will go to bat for you despite the odds, Brent Dishman is that kind of attorney. I had a very complex... case that went before the AFBCMR that had no guarantee of a positive outcome, but Mr. Dishman believed in the justness of my case. He argued it brilliantly and relentlessly, even going so far as representing me before members of the U.S. Senate in an attempt to right a wrong. Because of the unending bureaucracy in D.C., this fight is not yet over; but that has not stopped him from continuing to fight to right an injustice that was done to me by the Air Force many years ago. Brent is without question honest, genuine, compassionate, and caring. He is not an attorney who is in it "just for the money". He cares about justice for his clients.

Rescinded LOR!

I contacted Brent after he came highly recommended by another lawyer. I was served a wrongful LOR and after the ADC was not successful, I needed a civilian lawyer with a military background to help me fight it. He was knowledgeable and helped me prepare and draft an ART 138 that later resulted in my ...LOR being rescinded by a general officer. I am extremely thankful and I'm not sure this would have been possible without his assistance.

CIVIL WAR MEDAL OF HONOR CASE

Brent is an absolutle terrific attorney. We are currently working on a Medal on Honor case, which Medal of Honor was wrongfully denied a Civil War veteran back in the year 1897. Brent has been extremely responsive, deals with me first hand, digs in an gets things done, and applies his instutional kno...wledge and experience, having been an insider at one time. The only reason I have rated him just a good in knowledgable, is that we are plowing new ground here in this unique case, and we are all learning some as we go. What we are attempting here, to correct the hisitorical record and an incorrect decison rendered by a Secretary of War back in the year 1897, has never been done before. Bottom line, I could not recommend more highly Brent Dishman, as he will devote his heart and soul a case, like he is doing for mine. He is extremely personable and friendly when dealing with his clients.

Knowledgeable, Dependable and strong Communication

A few years ago I hired Mr. Dishman to represent me for my case with the US Army. Right from the beginning Mr. Dishman was very informative about UCMJ and how it applied to my case. Over the process Mr. Dishman would update me whenever possible and share his expertise with what the following steps wo...uld be. Brent Dishman is a very dependable lawyer and always kept me informed with my case as it was being processed. He was very assertive with the prosecuter and professional with his dealings regarding my case.

Highly Recommend!

I hired Brent last year after demanding a court martial in lieu of an Article 15. He was extremely attentive and knowledgeable about my case and what was needed from the prosecutors and OSI. My entire career and future benefits were on the line. Brent was successfully able to get all charges dropped ...before the court martial date had even arrived! Even from across several state lines, he was always available to take my calls or emails. He also worked very well with my Area Defense Counsel in obtaining all information needed for the case and kept me informed with any new evidence that was discovered. Highly recommend!
