Simply the Best Advocate You Will Find!

In the complicated system that is our military, Lance is a must have on your side! He is savvy, responsive and a skilled negotiator. My daughter is active duty Air Force, and without Lance I’m quite certain she would have been discharged. He was quick to help and was able to turn a horrible situat...ion around. We are so pleased at the outcome Lance was able to achieve, and in such a short amount of time. Well worth every penny!

extremely thrilled with this attorney

I achieved a positive resolution with the expertise of Mr Lance Wood!! I was facing a chapter, actually it was already underway when I desperately reached out for some legal help. From the very first phone call, even before I hired him, he spent over 30 minutes on the phone with me providing such ...great advice. Whether or not I decided to hire him, he was already giving me his expertise. He seemed knowledgeable, but what struck me was how friendly he was from the very first phone call. Of course I hired him (other attorneys I called did not seem interested nor give me the time to explain my situation) and along the way I realized what a great decision that was. I am thrilled to say that he was able to get the chapter dismissed. All along the way (and these things go on for months) he was unbelievably responsive. Every single time I reached out to him, he called me back within a few hours. I emailed him countless times with questions and concerns, and he emailed me back EVERY SINGLE TIME. If you are looking for a knowledgeable military attorney, you cannot choose better than Lance. This is an attorney who will always answer your questions, and you will not believe how friendly he is from the very first time you speak with him. He was also able to assure me each step of the way to be patient. Of course it's hard going through something like this, but if you have an expert on your side, then the process is smoother and a heck of a lot less stressful. Although he is highly accomplished, his rate was extremely reasonable. No other reason to call anyone else, Lance is the best for sure.

Amazing Lawyer!

Lance Wood confidence, charisma, and extensive knowledge of military law are evident the moment you speak with him. He worked countless hours dedicating his time to my case ensuring the best outcome. I know I would not receive the same dedication if I stuck with my assigned defense lawyer. During ...this pending investigation I became stressed, irritable, and felt not myself but working with Lance eliminated all negative feelings. Highly recommend hiring Lance if you need a good military lawyer!

Aggressive Representation, Fast Acting

I am Active Duty Army and was suspected of Article 120- Rape. I knew I never did anything wrong from the begginning, however, I was treated as if I was convicted of the crime. I had no idea what to do and I felt as if I was a sitting duck. Jag could not see me for another two months and I consulted s...everal attorney's with different styles. I did not feel comforatble with any of them for several reasons. I kept digging for someone in my local area and I found Lance Wood. I gave him a call and he answered right away. Lance, has a proven track record in the Air Force, serving many roles in the judicial system which gives him the advantange in every situation. Lance knows what and when everything is going on in the process of your investigation, pre-trial, and trial. Lance quickly gave me his expert opinion and I hired him. Within the first few days, he had built rapport with the prosecutor and had an idea of which way the investigation was going. Lance informed the prosecutor of some information that would change the course of everything. A few months later the non-prosecution (in my favor) memo was sent up and I was clear. Mr. Wood is certainly qualified for any and every job. As a male in the military, we are automatically guilty, so it makes things very difficult. If you find yourself in a terrible situation like this, give lance a call and he will work hard by your side to win your case.

I'm Forever Thankful

In 2008 I was a new airman in the Air Force when I was accused a crime against another airman. I thought this was it and I thought just as soon as I started my life in the Air Force, it was going to be over just like that. I had doubt, I was fearful, and I pretty much didn't know what to do or had no...body to turn to having never dealt with anything remotely close to this in my life. Then thats when I met my military attourney. Prior to the start of the trial, at the time Maj. Lance Wood would be assigned as my senior defense counsel. After meeting Mr. Wood I cant express how much weight he lifted off my shoulders, he was literally there to help me carry the weight of the chaos that I was currently in. We sat down and I was able to actually tell my story of the events that had taken place, then based off of my explanation and the possible evidence that would be presented, he was able to convey across the best possible options for me to take during the trial to have the best outcome for my defense. Then for a couple of weeks he put together a very strong defense and we discussed what would or could happen during court proceedings and as well as what I should do to correctly respond to prosecution questioning in the event I would have to take the witness stand. With the defense that Mr. Wood was able to put together for me, it assured me that I had a chance of a successful trial. During the trial Mr. Wood was eager and very much able to argue against prosecuting evidence and statements and because of that there was undoubtedly never an obvious point that he never had control of the court room. Because of the excellent defense produced by Mr. Wood, the jury deliberated for no less than one hour and returned with a verdict of not guilty. Since the trial I have been able to continue on to have a very successful military career to support the amazing family that I now have.  Over all Mr. Wood conducted himself in a manner that showed great respect, professionalism, and attention to detail for his profession and I would strongly recommend his services to anybody who requires a criminal defense lawyer. He is a tremendous person of character and I am forever grateful for the time and effort that he put into my case.
