The right lawyer should understand the next stage of the case.

A strong GOMOR lawyer should understand more than rebuttal format. The lawyer should understand the filing decision, officer show-cause consequences, enlisted separation risk, military records, command psychology, evidence development, and how a weak early response can damage the next stage of the case.

Mr. Kamoroff’s background includes service as an Army JAG, prosecutor, defense counsel, senior defense counsel, Senior Military Justice Practitioner, retired Army officer, and representation of Soldiers and Officers at more than 120 administrative separation and elimination boards.

What to look for

Focused military justice and administrative defense experience.
Experience with GOMORs, Article 15/NJP matters, investigations, and follow-on administrative actions.
Ability to identify how early statements and documents may be used later.
Judgment about evidence, command dynamics, credibility, and mitigation.
Clear pricing and a direct consultation path.

What to be careful about

Be cautious of generic promises, rank-focused marketing, or a response that treats the case like routine paperwork. In GOMOR, Article 15, and investigation matters, the goal is often to stop the case from becoming something worse.

FAQ

Questions about choosing counsel

Should I hire the lawyer with the highest rank?

Rank alone is not the best measure. The more important questions are whether the lawyer has relevant military justice experience, has defended similar matters, understands the follow-on consequences, and can build a persuasive strategy.

What experience matters most?

Relevant experience includes military justice prosecution, defense, senior defense counsel work, administrative separation and officer elimination boards, investigations, GOMOR rebuttals, and Article 15/NJP matters.

Why does early-stage experience matter?

Many cases are won or lost before they become more serious. A strong early response can prevent a bad record from becoming the basis for separation, elimination, or other career-ending action.

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.
