I am forever grateful to Mr Donald Gordon and his colleagues at Crisp and Associates. After being wrongfully discharged by the Air Force, I consulted with Mr Gordon, and together we put together a strong case to take to the Air Force Discharge Review Board. He was attentive to my numerous questions and emails, and offered calm when I needed it most. It's a long, difficult process, so having his counsel was extremely helpful. After many months of waiting, the decision came back - the DRB ruled unanimously in my favor, changing my re-entry code! Thanks to Crisp and Associates, I will now be able to live my dream of returning to the military and serving my country. I would recommend their services to anyone.

Attorney Gordon assisted me in receiving my Honorable discharge! I’m completely grateful and satisfied, thank you!

My experience with this law firm regarding my legal matter has restored my faith in individuals who will rise to the occasion to assist their clients to the fullest extent. Without the care, expertise, and knowledge by Mr. Donald Gordon, I wouldn’t have had a second chance at pursuing my military career. If you’re on the fence about if you should work with this firm or not, just do it. You’ll be glad you did.

I never read the reviews before I accepted the service of this firm. If I had read I would have probably not went with this company( absolutely). Yes it’s my fault of my military career and issues but in the very beginning they 100% assured that they would work hard for me. They did the opposite and in almost 4 years I might have spoken to my attorney by phone 3 times. I received the recommendation from the board and definitely wasn’t happy with the results. I waited 4 long years to get Denied and no upgrade. So of course I’m not happy with this and I spoke with my attorney and his best professional advice was let’s wait another 6 months and try again. Let’s not wait another minute I waited 4 years sir. Yes I really feel like I was taken advantage of and it’s sad that they are prior military and this is the service they provided. I would not recommend this firm based on the Communication , not even the result just the communication. They are misleading. Please look at my review and choose another firm.

I want to write a fair and honest review. Trying my best to be unbiased and solely factual. With that being said, here was my experience with this firm. I started my communication with them in November of 2021. They were very nice and supportive on the phone initially. After I paid the full amount up front, I was assigned to attorney Gordon. He spoke with me and was initially very encouraging and truly made me believe that he could get my upgrade done. Now after paying and starting out I feel like things went down from there. Looking back I believe they just wanted my money and did not truly believe they could help me with a discharge upgrade from the Army. One of the first things I noticed was a big turnover with their clerks or staff other than attorney's. Everytime I seemed to call which is another thing, I did not receive any type of update at all unless I called to ask for one. Then when I did there seemed to be a different paralegal working on my case everytime. So after 3 years of waiting and calling and asking if there was anything they could do. I finally got an answer of No, to my upgrade. Now, I get alot of the time and waiting was on the government and the backlog because of Covid. However I believe there are more professional ways to address that matter with a client who paid in full. As well as looking into trying to get answers for a client as to when or why regarding time. So after I received my answer back from the Government, I learned why they denied me and without going into too much detail and after speaking to another law firm. It seems like Crisp and Associates failed to properly do a good job with my case and include the right information needed to have a better chance at getting a change in my discharge. So for me and my experience I would say it was not very good at all. I personally would not recommend this company to other veterans at all. Especially when I have spoken to other veterans I know who had worse situations and cases than me and got overturned, very disappointing to say the least.

My name is James stary. And I can say since working with crisp and associates at first wasn't much communication but mainly just needed to get paperwork and evidence together once I and that the communication has been great. Makayla Farhat has answered all questions and emails promptly. Don Gordon has answered or called on all scheduled appointments and answered all questions throughly. Between this law firm and Tulley Rincky I have been impressed with the service

Attorney Adam Leydig is a good man. I cannot express how thankful I am for him. He gave me a free consultation, when many other law firms charge between $250 and $400, depending on the case. Afterward, he continued to answer my remaining questions via email and typically responded within a few hours. For those who are not familiar with legal processes, his business practice is outstanding. It is uncommon for an attorney to offer such quality communication, but Mr. Leydig is the exception. Renee Hudec-Maley is also wonderful; she is the office manager and reached out to me several times to follow up on my case. I was unfairly seperated from the Marine Corps after reporting suicidal ideations. I received a general under honorable conditions discharge despite no misconduct. Needless to say, I was disheartened and attempted to obtain a Veterans Affairs (VA) rating for several years. (Note: Military and VA disability ratings are different, and Mr. Leydig can help with the former.) I called several firms before I found Mr. Leydig, then I had no reason to search anymore. I recommend him wholeheartedly. Crisp and Associates is the best option for active duty service members and veterans.

Jacob Gillette did an excellent job. Thank you!

Thank you for your dedication and for ensuring the best possible outcome on my behalf. I am extremely grateful for all of your help. You were determined to get the decision overturned. In my spirit, I felt you were the man for the job! I patiently waited to receive this great news! Again, thanks!! Donald Gordon

I would like to send Donald Gordon with Chris and associates as I was requesting an upgrade and didn’t know where to turn after talking to Donald Gordon and his staff gave me direction on how to obtain an upgrade and we were successful. I’ve been contemplating this for many years and I’m happy that I did so and they made it extremely easy And explained everything that I needed to know and took my numerous questions so if you’re thinking about an upgrade or have some type of military issues, give Crisp associates a call and they can help you like they help me. They did an awesome job!

I wouldn’t spend $4000 flat fee on them if ever again. The communication was horrible. Instead of my lawyer reaching out and updating me with details. I had to reach out every week for updates literally. Provided all documents proven that the command team was making false statements and for some odd reason i still get a LOC. Don’t waste your time nor money.

Crisp and Associates Military Law Firm are the best in their field. Mr. Don Gordon took over my case and succeeded in upgrading my Military Discharge. I recommend Crisp and Associates Military Law Firm to all who are seeking help on any military issues. Thank you very much Crisp and Associates Military Law. God bless and Aloha!
