"He is an articulate pitbull in the courtroom"
I know Mr Healy quite well. He represented me in a case where the odds were stacked against me. This was the most difficult time of my life considering some other circumstances that were added on. However, he fought for me tooth and nail even though his caseload was very high at the time. It seemed h...
Shannon, you describe a great fight we had with the Government, but a fight that needed to happen in order to reveal the truth. I was very proud to help you. Keep on charging!

Hands Down Best Lawyer
I was facing a court martial. I had nowhere left to turn. I was on my last leg, but my CSM told me to keep fighting. So that’s exactly what I did, I found Mr. Healy through online searching and did some research on him. Turns out he’s exactly what I needed, so I hired him immediately. Mr. Healy gave ...
Great win! Pick up SGT and don't look back!

Fights for justice
Gerry was as good as advertised. He used the plaintiffs witnesses to our (defendants) advantage. There was no need to call ‘our’ witnesses because his cross examination exposed the weakness of the lawsuit. I’d highly recommend Gerry for any military case.
Thank you for your kind words. The full acquittal was the right and just result.

He helped me stay in the Navy!
I was charged with article 112a and almost immediately I contacted MJA after reading their countless reviews. They were able to contact my command and get my CO to push back my NJP date. Within that time, they talked to my roommates, my brother, and my chain command and compiled a lot evidence to pro...
Very happy for you. Thank you for the kind words. Gerry
