Client Reviews

I am so thankful that I contacted Attorney Stockdale to handle my case. About 10 years ago I made a decision that was exceptionally detrimental to my military career. I had taken full responsibility for my actions and had worked hard to regain my reputation, but my chances of promotion were very slim. From the onset of my contacting COL Stockdale, he admitted that we had an uphill battle, but he drafted an outline of “attack” which gave me a tremendous sense of confidence that our efforts might be successful. Attorney Stockdale eloquently put into words that despite my error in judgment, I was still a valuable officer who was respected by his subordinates and admired by his peers. He listened to me, reviewed all my files and helped me draft an appeal that overwhelmingly convinced the special promotions review board to promote me without reservation and place all of the proceedings into my restricted file. COL Stockdale was honest with me about the pitfalls of my case and was knowledgeable and competent enough to provide me everything I needed to win my case. He is truly an outstanding attorney and I was fortunate enough to find him and retain his services. I would recommend him to any of my friends or colleagues who were in need of his services.

With his experience as a military lawyer, a legal advisor to Army commanders and years of service to this nation, Lee had the experience and technical abilities to provide me everything necessary to receive a positive decision in my case. With Lee's help I appealed to the Department of the Army Suitability Evaluation board (DASEB) which resulted in my GOMOR being filed in my restricted file only after a little over a year from when I received it. Great results! [GOMOR transferred to restricted OMPF.]

I was battling for the removal of a General Officer Memo of Reprimand from early 2008. This GOMOR was filed in my Official Records preventing promotion and prompting a Show-Cause for Retention or Elimination. After 2 failed attempts with Active Duty Legal Counsel assistance appealing through the Department of Army Suitability and Evaluations Board, I decided to interview non-Military Lawyers for a final appeal through the Army Board of Corrections for Military Records. After the initial phone interview I knew he was just the right Lawyer for my purposes. As my last chance for promotion was nearing, Mr. Stockdale assisted me with excellent guidance on how to best argue my case for relief. I was expecting to hear results in 10-12 months, but was elated to discover that within 5 months, the ABCMR granted me FULL RELIEF! I cannot thank Mr. Stockdale enough nor show reserve when recommending him to others. It is with full confidence I recommend Mr. Stockdale to anyone requiring assistance in correcting military records. [ABCMR appeal approved.]

Attorney Stockdale was instrumental in advising me how to navigate a tricky legal situation involving a contract with the Army/Army Reserves for a health profession scholarship. He was able to direct my efforts in attaining a conditional release from the Army Individual Ready Reserves in order to pursue an active duty career in another uniformed service. Without Lee's guidance I would not have prevailed in this case. I give Lee my highest endorsement. [ABCMR appeal approved.]

COL Stockdale was the second lawyer I used during my case. After such a bad experience with my first counsel I had a really bad taste in my mouth, but I decided to contact Lee after researching for about a month on the internet. I contacted Lee and he listened without judgment. Once I decided to hire him (which I made after only one call, I trusted him right away) he worked with me every step of the way. It seemed as if we were sitting next to each other, even though we were 1000 miles apart. After he reviewed my case he seemed generally concerned that I was being used as scapegoat and helped me draft a great defense. It ended in my record being expunged. Lee's knowledge and legal skills are the best that I have ever come across in my 16 years of service. If it were not for Lee believing in me and taking a personal interest in my case, I would have been removed from Military service. Thanks to Lee I still have my spotless service record. If you are in the Military and ever find yourself in need of legal counsel, you would be a fool to contact anybody else but COL Lee Stockdale. [GOMOR removed from OMPF.]

Thanks for your guidance and support during these challenging times.  You are truly an expert at "damage control legal services." [Article 15 transferred to restricted OMPF.]

I'm very satisfied with this document and truly appreciate your confidence, sincerity, and wisdom in helping me formalize a strong appeal.  You are the one attorney, after many months of searching, who fully understands the challenges I faced in developing a strong appeal. I have no one other than you to recommend for these types of cases. This is a very strong, convincing statement, and I can't thank you enough for your talent and wisdom in fully developing this appeal statement. I applaud the depth of your vocabulary!

Lee is definitely THE person to have in your corner for any legal matter concerning the military.  He spent nearly a year with me, providing expert guidance and counsel as we maneuvered through three separate appeals and a lengthy Army Review Board Agency process.  His fees were miniscule for the amount of time he spent helping me with my case.  His vast experience with complex issues definitely helped to focus my appeal and we ended up taking an approach that I otherwise would have been unaware of as an alternative.  There was a professional element and logical sequence behind our argument that could not have been developed with out Lee’s assistance and expertise.  After 10 months, we not only got resolution of the matter – WE WON.  I could not have done it without Lee.  I give my highest unsolicited recommendation for Lee Stockdale, Attorney at Law, and undercover superhero. [ABCMR appeal approved.]

You are the man! I want to thank you for all of your advice, inputs and patience in making this happen. Thanks to you, the letter will remain here and not be part of my permanent file. Hopefully, in the future, I won’t run across anyone in legal jeopardy. However, in the event that I do, be assured that I will recommend you first and foremost. You set me on the right path and kept me focused and encouraged and for that, I am eternally grateful. [GOMOR filed locally.]

Thanks again for your hard work! I couldn't have done it without you! I will definitely recommend your services to whoever needs them! [GOMOR and Article 15 transferred to restricted OMPF.]
