Quick answer: If you invoke your right to remain silent and request an attorney, do not keep discussing the case. Get legal advice before any further communication.

Invocation should be clear

Use clear language: “I invoke my right to remain silent. I want an attorney. I do not consent to searches or seizures.”

Do not explain after invoking

Many damaging statements happen after a suspect tries to clarify, minimize, or help.

Counsel can become the point of contact

Once counsel is involved, communications about the investigation can be directed through the attorney.

Mr. Kamoroff keeps a deliberately small practice focused on GOMORs, Article 15/NJP responses, and investigations. Clients receive direct attorney access after representation begins.

Short suspense?

If your rebuttal, Article 15 election, or investigation response deadline is within 72 hours, call now.

A website form is useful, but urgent military deadlines require faster action. Call 1-86-MILITARY and also submit the consultation form so the basic facts are available.

Review before you respond

Need focused legal judgment before deciding what to do next?

An Urgent Military Case Assessment is a paid limited-scope review for Soldiers, NCOs, and Officers who already have paperwork, evidence, or a short suspense and need a practical assessment of risks, options, and recommended next steps.

More than a consultation. Less than full representation.

The assessment does not include drafting, command contact, law-enforcement contact, negotiation, appearance, submission of materials, or follow-on representation unless separately agreed in writing.

Do not treat a GOMOR or Article 15 like routine paperwork.

A weak response can follow you for years. The earlier you get focused help, the more time there is to analyze the evidence, develop the facts, and present the strongest possible rebuttal or response.
