Quick answer: Do not rush a rebuttal, do not make unnecessary statements, preserve the packet, identify the suspense, and get legal advice before the early record is built against you.

Identify the deadline first

The suspense controls everything. Before drafting, identify the exact response deadline, whether an extension is possible, and who will make the filing decision.

Do not treat the rebuttal as a template exercise

A GOMOR rebuttal should be built around evidence, context, credibility, and the filing decision—not generic apology language.

Preserve the packet and related evidence

Save the GOMOR, supporting documents, text messages, emails, witness names, and any favorable records that may help explain or rebut the allegation.

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.

If the matter appears appropriate, you will be contacted about next steps.

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.
