Many years after retiring from the USN, I suddenly found myself in a very unwelcome legal matter with the Navy. It was a total shock and I was very concerned as to the impact this would have on me and my family. Philip was so helpful, truly a calming force, and his legal help was invaluable to me, I am so thankful that I availed myself of his services!

Phil Cave has helped me through NJP and restoration of my security clearance. He even came to visit me in Spain. I never thought I would work again and he certainly through with advise and guidance that we're exactly spot on. He is my hero and thanks to him I gave my life back....

Let me begin by saying that if you find yourself being read a charge sheet for a 120 offense, you are in for a wild ride. The worst thing you can do is hold onto the hope that the process is fair and that the truth will prevail, because it's not and it won't. I can honestly say that hiring Mr. Cave saved my life. I firmly believe that the Army puts every resource they have into destroying your life, regardless of the merit of validity of your charges. If you have ever done anything wrong during your time in the military, they will come after you for it. You NEED an experienced CIVILIAN Attorney that knows how to navigate the system without fear of jeopardizing their own chances at promotion. In the courtroom, Mr. Cave has an incredibly calm demeanor that might lead you to think that he won't attack the prosecution when the time is right, i assure you that this is not the case. I sat and watched him dissect the governments whole case and cross examine witnesses like a surgeon. It was actually impressive to watch. All this being said, Mr Cave shoots straight, tells you exactly where he thinks you stand, and is brutally honest about the system and process. I am able to be with my family because i chose to hire Phil Cave. I assure you that if you find yourself in a legal battle with the Military, this is the man you want in your corner. I assure you that hiring Phil will be the best investment you ever make.

I was at a point where I had no choice but to pray for a highly skilled litigation attorney to represent me in a hotly contested domestic matter which was ongoing for several consecutive years. With my prayers answered, I sought the legal services of Attorney Sheryl Wood, who was highly recommended to me, and I immediately retained her. What I witnessed at trial was a shining star with superb trial skills. Attorney Wood is extremely personable, quick on her feet and has an iron fist that she will use if necessary. She impressed not only me, but also opposing counsel and the judge. She is a seasoned expert in her field, knows her craft, is savvy and is an attorney I HIGHLY RECOMMEND to anyone who needs legal representation. I'm confident that Attorney Sheryl Wood will come through for you as she did for me. Please save her contact information in your contacts.

I had the absolute worst experience with this attorney. At first, things were ok. We met a few times to discuss options and a plan. She seemed nice and willing to help. I realized after a while that I did not hear from Ms. Wood for a while and decided to rrqxh out. When I did, she informed me that my retainer was depleted even though we never stepped foot into court once! She did provide me with a detailed bill that showed phone conversations and meetings. We met three times and none of the meetings lasted for more than 30 mins. So I was out of almost $2000 without even going to court. Horrible experience.

In 2014 during a nasty divorce, my ex-wife accused me of molesting my step-children I was convicted at court-martial and sentenced to 36 months separating me from my new wife and child. Mr. Cave and his team got my conviction overturned in the Army Court of Criminal Appeals and got me over $100,000 in back pay I now have my nursing license back and I am about to start work. Thanks, Phill you saved more than just my life you saved us all!

We had a terrific experience working with Seth in preparing some legal documents. He readily answered our questions, clarifying legal concepts for us in an easy-to-understand manner. We were grateful for his quality service, timeliness, and flexibility. We also enjoyed working with Lisa, the paralegal with his office.

Seth was very knowledgable, professional and responsive during the entire length of the case that I retained him for. He went above and beyond to answer all of my questions and help me understand the legal process that I was going through. It is refreshing to work with someone that is so responsive (I've had bad experiences in other areas of business, as I'm sure we all have). It was also a bonus that we conducted all business over email and the phone. I'm sure he'd be happy to meet in person but I didn't have a reason to. I have already recommended him to a friend who is having a similiar experience retaining Seth for his case. I highly recommend Seth and his office!

Mr. Cave is an expert at his craft and took the time to defend me in a situation that had all of the cards stacked against me. My ex wife became angry that I left the home and accused me of rape and assault. Mr. Cave exposed her lies and fortunately I was acquitted. The one thing I appreciate the most about Mr. Cave is that he was honest and did not sell me any dreams about my situation. I was fully prepared for the worst case scenario because he was honest about how these kinds of cases work out. I am also a single parent, which made this even more of a heart breaking situation. My daughter and I owe are lives to Mr. Cave. P.S.- If you are on Ft. Bragg and need representation, find Mr. Cave and also find CPT Vivek Shah. They literally saved my life. Thank you Sir!

Mr Cave was very professional. He kept me updated on all aspects of the case during preparation and during the hearing. He prepared me for the hearing and giving testimony so that I was not nervous. I found his fees to be reasonable.

Mr. Cave knows what he is doing. I am in the USAF, was charged with an Article 132 offense (fraud), and was found not guilty in a special court martial this afternoon. He was the only lawyer outside of the local area I contacted because of his biography; he’s “seen it all.” From the beginning, he was straightforward and insightful. Our initial consultation was brief. I contacted a few other local UCMJ lawyers, but they wanted to charge me just for a consultation. Mr. Cave’s was free. I am stationed a few hours away from his office and he took the time to come and meet with me (after he was retained) a few weeks before the trial. In the interim, we were hashing out the finer points of my defense. His knowledge of military law was impressive to say the least. I would also like to speak a bit about his personality. Mr. Cave is personable (in my opinion; he was to me) to his clients, but his presence demands respect, especially from the prosecution and judge. My ADC was amazing, absolutely amazing, but I decided to hire Mr. Cave because I wanted to keep the prosecution on their toes and I’m glad I did. Watching him work in the courtroom was an amazing sight. Of course the judge was running the court, but Mr. Cave was commanding it when he was on the floor. Needless to say, he worked flawlessly with my ADC throughout the entire process, made very strong arguments in my defense, and successfully defended me. I would highly recommend Mr. Cave to anyone that is facing a court martial!
