Yancey and Zach are phenomenal attorneys and I couldn't be more pleased with the way that they handled my case. They were true professionals from the start, and treated me with respect and compassion throughout the whole scary and uncertain process. They made themselves available to answer any questions I had or to walk me through any concerns that I brought up. I felt comfortable in all of my interactions with them and they kept me up to speed on all things legal related to my case. Although I would not wish my experience on anyone, I will forever be grateful to Yancey Ellis and Zach Deubler for getting me through the most traumatic experience of my life. I am incredibly thankful for the professionalism and care they showed not only me, but my family as well. They are the best of the best!

Excellent service in every respect! Yancee Ellis, who handled my case, not only quickly understood the facts of the case from my descriptions, he also researched and uncovered additional facts on line, and from his sources, and developed winning defense arguments at the Preliminary Hearing, resulting in an extraordinarily rare, "No Probable Cause" outcome bringing my case to a successful conclusion. I hearty recommend him, and the firm for anyone needing good, through legal council.

Pete Kageleiry saved our son's career and good service reputation. He was facing an administrative separation board due to false allegations. Pete methodically found and demonstrated the lies and inconsistencies in witness testimony. My son was found NOT GUILTY of the allegations and retained on active duty! Pete is an exceptional civilian military attorney and I highly recommend him.

"I highly recommend military lawyer Peter Kageleiry, Jr! I am an officer with decades of dedicated military service including multiple combat deployments. I called Pete because my military career and my reputation were under attack. I needed an experienced attorney I could trust. Pete aggressively defended my career, my good character, and my benefits. He went above and beyond all my expectations. During a year-long process, Pete kept me informed, answered all my questions, and helped alleviate my anxiety about what was ahead. Pete won my board and enabled me to retain my honorable service. Attorney Peter Kageleiry, Jr. is an expert in military law and advocacy on behalf of officers and enlisted service members. If your military career is on the line, call Pete! "

If you're looking for an honest, knowledgeable, and thorough attorney specializing in post-conviction matters, I highly recommend Jon Sheldon. I initially sought his help for my relative’s case after being referred by another attorney who called him to be “magical”. That recommendation proved to be true.
Unlike some attorneys who might give false hope or overpromise, Jon was upfront about the challenges and realistic about potential outcomes. What truly impressed me was his attention to detail—he carefully reviewed every aspect of the case to ensure nothing was overlooked. Jon identified a few paths forward, showcasing his deep expertise in post-conviction law and even got one of the petitions granted despite it being past the statue of limitations which is super rare!
If you're considering a consultation, it's well worth your time. Jon is the kind of attorney who genuinely cares about his clients and works tirelessly to explore every possible avenue. I couldn’t have been more grateful for his help in my relative’s case.

I applied for disability in 2022 on my own and was denied. I immediately called the law firm after a friend referred me. My pain, illness & other issues made it extremely difficult for me to focus. Monica Outten and Brian Gillette were very patient with my questions, concerns, confusion and anxiety going through this difficult process and then a second denial. I honestly feel if I had not had them fighting for me I'd still be fighting alone, or worse. They even reached back out to answer more of my questions after they won my case. I HIGHLY recommend them! They will take so much of the stress off of your shoulders. Don't be alone. They will take care of you.

In September 2023, I realized I could no longer endure the work force due to the pain I suffered from my chronic back condition(s). I applied for disability on my own and was denied in February of the following year. A close friend referred me to Gillette Law Group. They agreed to take my case and filed my appeal the same month. My Lead Case Manager Monica was awesome. She held my hand through the entire appeal process, addressing all my disability concerns in a very timely manner. I was approved 7 months later. Mr. Gillette followed up with me to make sure I was satisfied with the process, told me what to expect and answered all my questions. I am so thankful for Mr. Gillette and his wonderful staff. They exceeded my expectations.

Through 18 months pre-trial preparation, Eric Leckie consistently demonstrated his knowledge of Virginia law and thoroughly researched the many nuances of my particular case. He skillfully coordinated his defense by meeting with many people in the various offices instrumental in ensuring a fair trial for a very unusual and difficult case. He worked tirelessly and effectively with the Sheriff’s office, doctors and medical specialists, and prosecutor ‘s office to make the outcome of our situation as good as it could possibly be. Both he and the entire Invictus Law staff were supportive, responsive and understanding during this difficult time. I can unconditionally recommend him to anyone needing legal assistance.

Sarah Knapp and the Shounbach team were truly pivotal in guiding me through my divorce. Sarah is not only a highly skilled attorney but also incredibly kind, patient, and calm—qualities that make all the difference during such a difficult time. I always felt supported and knew she was advocating for my best interests every step of the way. Divorce is messy, emotional, and overwhelming, but having an attorney like Sarah in your corner brings a sense of clarity and peace. I can't recommend her enough.

I hired shawn to assist with restoring my firearm rights.
He laid out what he needed from me, and what he would be providing as well. I had a rather lengthy criminal history, multiple felonies, but no violent charges.
Upon our day in court the commonwealth attorney immediately opposed the restoration. And the judge seemed she had made her mind up as well😑 we went ahead and gave testimony and produced character references. And somehow swayed the judges opinion so much that she went against the commonwealth attorneys recommendation and ordered my rights be restored!!! I was smiling, shawn was smiling, the judge was smiling! I truly was ready to walk out of the courtroom at the beginning and am glad I didn't!
This was a homerun in my book and I'm sure Shawn's as well. 5 stars all day!

Our son, a Navy serviceman, made a poor decision, received an NJP, and was close to being separated from the Service. Before seeking legal guidance, it was crucial for us to find someone with the knowledge and military experience to guide us properly.
We reached out to Doug Hansen at Patriots Law Group for this guidance and knew right away that we had made the right choice. Doug proves to be a compassionate gentleman. He listened, communicated easily, and worked to understand our challenges. Having served in the military, he was incredibly knowledgeable about military law and took the time to understand our situation. Doug was always available and happily addressed our needs.
The support and guidance provided by Doug contributed to our son’s case being reviewed; his rank was reinstated, and he has since been promoted.
We want to extend our heartfelt thanks for the time and guidance provided while we navigated these challenging times.

I cannot thank Mr. Hicks enough for the incredible support and expertise he provided during the most difficult time of my life. I was facing a false sexual assault accusation that left me feeling trapped with no way out. I was at risk of deportation and losing my job, and the stress was unbearable for months. At one point, I even felt hopeless and suicidal.
Mr. Hicks not only brought his extensive knowledge and skill to my case, but he also treated me like family. He truly cared about my well-being, and his unwavering support gave me the strength to keep going. Through his hard work and dedication, he was able to get my case dismissed and turn my life around.
If you are looking for a lawyer who will fight for you with compassion and unmatched expertise, I highly recommend Mr. Hicks. He is a lifesaver, and I will forever be grateful for everything he has done for me.

Mr. Grover Baxley,
I am relieved as much as I am impressed with your hard work and dedication to this case. Here is my review:
This was a false positive urinalysis case. I consulted Mr. Grover Baxley briefly over the phone. He knew which questions to ask, and gave advice even before the retainer fee was paid. At this point, he was polite, professional, but also detail-oriented on initial questioning. He outlined the lengthy military legal process, as well as his fee schedule. On paying the retainer fee, Mr. Baxley gave clear instructions on the items needed from me, including a rather detailed "Love Me" document -- basically a binder of my entire life including disciplinary actions, CVs, and accomplishments/awards.
Mr. Grover Baxley will work behind the scenes. For some people, at times, you may feel as though there is no progress in the case, and that this is all a test of patience. However, and especially on discovery of evidence, Mr. Baxley will be prepared to cross-examine -- will be prepared to use even the government's own witnesses. If you have an engaged Area Defense Counsel team, this will make your defense even stronger. Mr. Baxley will call occasionally for updates, to clarify information, and to schedule conference calls for larger updates.
In my case, Mr. Baxley arrived in the area the week before a scheduled trial. I was able to meet Mr. Baxley in person at this time, and we were able to discuss the upcoming process in depth. I was assured that my defense team was as prepared as it could be. Mr. Baxley engaged the courtroom during the trial. He strategically cross-examined and was careful with his questioning. And his closing arguments evoked in me emotions I'm sure I shared with some jury members.
Thank you for all your hard work and dedication to this case. You were blessed with an important gift in life -- a much-needed voice of defense for our service members across the country. Good luck in the rest of your journey, and give my best to your family.

If you’re where I was just 7 months ago, you’re in a bad spot, with your career, reputation, and everything else you’ve worked your butt off for in jeopardy. I searched for the BEST military lawyer upon being notified of an allegation of a positive urinalysis result for marijuana. Having never done the drug my entire life, and knowing the government wanted to bring charges against me, I knew I faced an uphill battle and long road ahead. I submitted a form, giving a brief synopsis on what I was up against, and Grover quickly called me back. Right away, I knew I had found my lawyer to defend me as I navigated this nightmare of a process. Today, I type this with an immense amount of relief, as Grover successfully won the BOI, convincing the panel members their claims were UNSUBSTANTIATED and that I had committed NO MISCONDUCT!
Being accused of something you know you didn’t do, and coming to terms with something that can have devastating, lifelong implications is horrifying, but Grover never faltered as the government made every attempt at kicking me out. This man is worth triple his price and is worth his weight in gold.
The joy and relief I feel, after being able to put this all behind me is simply indescribable. I don’t think it’s fully settled in yet that I can now put all this in my rear view mirror, and move forward with my career, along with my reputation and dignity in tact.
If you’re being charged, then you need to fight back. Not tomorrow, not now, but YESTERDAY!!! Don’t hesitate to hire Grover so he can start fighting back. He’s easily the best military lawyer, and the way he shoots the prosecution down is simply a work of art.
I owe Grover my life and am forever indebted to him. The road wasn’t easy, or quick, but as I lay here and give hope to others who find themselves in the same place I was back in March, I assure you that Grover is THE MAN for the job.
Thank you for everything Grover. I’ll never forget you and words simply cannot describe how grateful I am for all your amazing work.

I contacted Mr. Baxley in February of 2022 after a positive urinalysis result. Not knowing how this result came to be I knew I needed an expert. I have 12 years of honorable service (active and guard) with no history of ever being in trouble. Mr. Baxley commanded the board room and after two days of the hearing, the final result was no misconduct, retained in the Air National Guard. Now I can continue to serve until retirement. If you are in need of an expert, Mr. Baxley is your guy.

Mr. Murphy is an experienced military divorce lawyer, always professional, pleasant and understanding while expertly navigating the complex challenges associated with a military divorce.
His knowledge of unique aspects of a military divorce proved to be of utmost importance in seeking a fair resolution and agreement. Mr. Murphy always provided excellent, concise and clear counsel.

With Mr. Murphy’s extensive knowledge of military regulation, policy and law, he was able to expertly and efficiently mitigate risks, manage and easily navigate legal processes, and resolve issues in a complex divorce case, while a less experienced attorney would not have been as effective resulting in costly and stressful delays. Mr. Murphy’s team complimented his legal counsel perfectly. Melissa his paralegal was always knowledgeable and efficient. Her proficiency of the nuances of military divorces further enhanced the legal services provided. I highly recommend Mr. Murphy without exception for any legal counsel during a military divorce.

I retained Mike and Rebecca to represent me in what even the presiding judge admitted was one of the most complex cases he'd ever seen. Basically, my ex spouse manufactured allegations against me which she used to remove our minor children from the Commonwealth to return to her home state without my knowledge or consent. I had to fight tooth and nail to try and clear my name and get my kids back. Well, Mike and Rebecca did just that. They met every legal challenge professionally and with decisions that were in the best interest of the children. The result is that ALL of the children have been returned home to Virginia with me having primary custody AND I retained ALL of my assets. Note: I am also a lawyer who knows great legal work...this is such a case. The best interest of the child(ren) is THE standard.

We went over my medical, mental and personnel records and made a timeline from when I first joined to when I left the service. Eventually, we put together a well designed case to submit to the Naval Discharge Review Board. I was not expecting it, but Sean was able to upgrade my discharge to full Honorable from an OTH. Even after opening up his own firm, Sean stay true and kept me up to date on my case. I cant thank Sean enough, it has been a long journey but I finally got the discharge that I truly deserve. I'd recommend him to anyone who needs help, it was a blessing to have found and worked with Sean.

Sean represented me for a Navy Performance Board of ROTC disenrollment. He understood my case and help prepare for the case. The process and long but he never failed to communicate with me and work through every process very thoroughly and in the end, he helped me get back into the Navy we won the case together! I will be a soon-to-be commissioned ENS in February and I cannot thank him enough! Would recommend him to anyone and would have him on my next case as well. He was very friendly and very organized and helped me be very professional during the entirety of my disenrollment process. I am very thankful for him. He is a great lawyer that will fight for you.

Sean was an incredible advocate for me. I felt lost and helpless in my situation before I met Sean. He was patient and understanding at times when I was emotionally charged. He always got back to me swiftly when I had questions or concerns. Sean is also incredibly knowledgeable. If he didn’t know the answer right off hand, he always knew where to find it. It was clear to me that he actually cared about my situation, and that was very comforting. You place a lot of trust in your attorney, so it was nice to know he cares about his work and his clients. 100% recommend Sean to anyone!

What a Government Lawyer Can Do for You
A government lawyer specializes in legal issues related to government policies, regulations, and disputes involving public entities. Whether you are a private individual, business, or government agency, a government lawyer provides expert guidance on navigating the complexities of government law. These attorneys handle cases ranging from constitutional law, administrative law, regulatory compliance, and government contracts to defending or challenging government actions.
Government lawyers help individuals and organizations understand their rights and obligations under the law, represent them in disputes with government agencies, and assist in matters of government contracting, procurement, or public policy.
When Should I Hire a Government Lawyer?
You should consider hiring a government lawyer in several situations involving government regulations, compliance, or disputes. Common reasons to hire a government lawyer include:
- Government contracts and procurement: If you are bidding for or negotiating a contract with a government agency, a lawyer can help ensure compliance with federal, state, or local contracting rules.
- Regulatory compliance: Businesses operating in highly regulated industries (e.g., healthcare, finance, environmental sectors) often need legal guidance to comply with government regulations and avoid penalties.
- Government investigations: If you're being investigated by a government agency such as the IRS, SEC, or EPA, a government lawyer can help defend you against allegations or negotiate settlements.
- Challenging government actions: If a government agency has denied a permit, license, or benefit, a lawyer can help you appeal or challenge the decision in court.
- Constitutional and civil rights issues: If you believe your constitutional rights have been violated by a government entity, such as in cases involving free speech or discrimination, a government lawyer can help you seek justice.
- Public policy or lobbying efforts: If you are involved in lobbying or advocating for policy changes at the local, state, or federal level, a government lawyer can provide legal advice on compliance with lobbying laws and strategies for effective advocacy.
Hiring a government lawyer early in the process can help you navigate complex legal frameworks and avoid costly mistakes when dealing with government-related legal issues.
What Does a Government Lawyer Do?
A government lawyer provides a wide range of services that cover interactions between individuals, businesses, and government entities. They can:
- Assist with government contracts: Helping clients navigate procurement laws, drafting contracts, and resolving disputes related to government contracting.
- Provide regulatory compliance advice: Offering guidance on meeting regulatory requirements for industries subject to federal, state, or local laws.
- Handle administrative law matters: Representing clients before government agencies, such as appealing administrative decisions, applying for permits, or defending against regulatory enforcement actions.
- Challenge or defend government actions: Representing clients in lawsuits involving government agencies, including constitutional challenges, civil rights violations, or disputes over government decisions.
- Negotiate settlements with government entities: If a government agency is pursuing legal action against you or your business, a lawyer can negotiate settlements to avoid costly litigation.
- Advocate for policy changes: Advising clients on legal strategies for influencing public policy, including lobbying and drafting legislation.
- Litigate constitutional issues: Handling cases related to the Constitution, such as First Amendment rights, due process violations, or unlawful government actions.
How Are Government Lawyers Paid?
Government lawyers typically charge for their services based on the complexity of the case and the nature of the legal work involved. Common payment structures include:
- Hourly rate: For ongoing legal matters, such as regulatory compliance or government contract disputes, lawyers may charge by the hour. Hourly rates can vary depending on the lawyer’s experience and location.
- Flat fee: For specific services, such as drafting a government contract or filing an administrative appeal, some lawyers charge a flat fee.
- Retainer: For clients who need ongoing legal support, such as businesses frequently interacting with government agencies, a lawyer may charge a retainer fee. This is an upfront payment that covers future legal services.
- Contingency fee: In some cases involving litigation, such as civil rights violations, a lawyer may work on a contingency basis, meaning they only get paid if they win or settle the case.
It’s important to discuss fee structures with your lawyer during the initial consultation to avoid surprises.
How Much Does a Government Lawyer Cost?
The cost of hiring a government lawyer depends on the complexity of the legal issue, the lawyer's experience, and their fee structure. Here are some general cost estimates:
- Hourly rates: Government lawyers typically charge between $150 and $500 per hour, depending on their experience and the complexity of the case.
- Flat fees: For specific legal services, such as drafting a government contract, flat fees can range from $1,000 to $5,000, depending on the nature of the service.
- Retainer fees: A retainer for ongoing legal work with government agencies can range from $5,000 to $20,000 or more, depending on the scope and frequency of the work.
- Contingency fees: In cases where a lawyer works on contingency, their fee is usually a percentage (typically 25% to 40%) of any settlement or damages awarded if the case is successful.
Be sure to get a clear estimate of costs during your consultation to ensure that you understand the fees associated with your case.
Top Questions to Ask a Government Lawyer
When hiring a government lawyer, it’s essential to ask the right questions to ensure they have the experience and skills needed for your specific situation. Key questions to ask include:
-
What is your experience with government law cases?
Make sure the lawyer has substantial experience in handling cases or issues involving government agencies, regulatory compliance, or constitutional law. -
What is your fee structure?
Ask how the lawyer charges for their services - whether by the hour, flat fee, retainer, or contingency fee - and request an estimate of costs. -
What are the potential outcomes of my case?
Ask for an honest assessment of your legal options and the likelihood of success based on your specific situation. -
How do you handle interactions with government agencies?
Ask about their approach to dealing with government entities and their experience with specific agencies relevant to your case (e.g., IRS, EPA, SEC). -
Have you handled cases like mine before?
Ask about their experience with similar cases and whether they have achieved favorable outcomes in the past. -
Who will handle my case?
Clarify whether the lawyer you are meeting with will personally handle your case or whether junior attorneys or paralegals will do most of the work.
How to Check the Credibility of a Government Lawyer
To ensure you’re hiring a reputable government lawyer, follow these steps to verify their credentials and reputation:
- Check state bar association records: Confirm that the lawyer is licensed to practice in your state and has no history of disciplinary actions.
- Review their professional experience: Look for specific experience in government-related legal issues, such as regulatory compliance, government contracts, or administrative law, on their website or professional profile.
- Read client reviews and testimonials: Check online reviews and ratings on platforms like Avvo, Martindale-Hubbell, or Google to get insight into the lawyer’s reputation and track record.
- Ask for references: Request references from previous clients who have worked with the lawyer on government-related matters to understand their experience and effectiveness.
- Check for membership in relevant organizations: Look for memberships in professional organizations such as the American Bar Association's Administrative Law Section or the National Institute of Government Procurement, which can indicate the lawyer’s focus on government law.
What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?
To get the most out of your first meeting with a government lawyer, it’s important to come prepared with relevant information and documents. Here’s what you should bring:
- Detailed description of your legal issue: Be prepared to explain your situation, whether it’s a regulatory compliance question, a government contract issue, or a dispute with a government agency.
- Relevant documents: Bring any paperwork related to your case, such as contracts, permits, letters from government agencies, or notices of investigation.
- A list of questions: Write down any questions you have about your case, including the legal process, potential outcomes, and costs.
- Timeline of events: Provide a clear timeline of any relevant events, such as the issuance of government orders or interactions with government agencies.
- Goals for the outcome: Be ready to discuss what you hope to achieve, whether it’s a favorable settlement, regulatory compliance, or overturning a government decision.
By being organized and prepared, you can help your lawyer understand your situation more quickly and give you the best legal advice moving forward.
