He represented me at a separation board that was initially a court martial. Resulting in being retained in the Army.

Handled the investigation process professionally and diligently. Gave me insight and showed the true benefits of seeking legal counsel. Was able to address everything I was accused of and was able to have the investigation be unfounded and no repercussions regard my EO accusations

Attorney Barry should be your first call for military defense. I hired him for an EO complaint/CDI defense. His knowledge of procedure and military law is thorough. He is able to navigate both Active and National Guard/Reserve issues. He listens to understand, helps anticipate questions and put me atease during my proceedings. He was available and accessible throughout the case and followed up regularly. I hope I never need military defense again, but he’d be my first call and my first recommendation to anyone else.

Calling Cummings Law to get Brian Cummings to help with my lawsuit was a great decision. His significant experience, professionalism, and personal attention to my matter made the difference to me.

This has been the best legal team I have ever had the pleasure of working with. Mr. Barry and his team cares. They make ever effort to ensure you understand the process and that you are comfortable with continuing. No matter where Mr. Barry is located he is always available. You are never in this process alone. There are no hidden agendas. You are well prepared. Thank you Mr. Barry and team for getting me my military retirement.

My Lawyer, Mr. Mathew Barry spearheaded a case from over 32 years ago (1992), that at one point had me discharged from the US Navy with an OTH (Other Than Honorable) In Lieu Of A Court Martial, appealed my case, and with ountstanding, and remarkable results, my previous discharge has now been upgraded to a "General, Under Honorable Conditions". Mathew and his supporting staff (Jennifer) kept me optimistic throughout the whole proceeding. I am truly thankful for the outcome that has been awarded to me. Now I can hold my head up high, and be a proud veteran who served his country. Thanks for being that breath of fresh air to a new chapter in my life. Love your Work!

Attorney Matthew Barry was hired to represent me in regard to facing an administrative separation board with a other than honorable discharge. Mr. Barry exceeded all expectations I had, and represented me at my board hearing where he was able to prove my innocence to the board in which they ultimately came to a unanimous decision that I was innocent and should be retained in the military. If you are facing any legal actions I cannot recommend him enough! He will most certainly go above and beyond, to not only represent you but also your career.

I reached out to Matt Barry Law initially for help putting together a GOMOR removal for GOMOR received in 2022. Few days later after talking with Matt, but things took a turn when I received a FLAG from HRC due to a missing Board of Inquiry (BOI) in my GOMOR proceedings. Matt was able to quickly adapt and help me prepare for the unexpected development, including explaining the relevant regulations and the reasoning behind HRC's requirement for a BOI. It's great that he was able to break down the complexities of the process and provide me with a clear understanding of the situation. Moreover, Matt helped me understand the importance of having a BOI in place to prevent similar issues from arising in the future. By opting for a BOI instead of another letter of retention, I can avoid potential complications during future record reviews. My new Command initiated an involuntary separation and Board of Inquiry (BOI). Matt was still on board and anxious to aggressively litigate my case at the BOI. Keep in mind you are bringing on board a highly experienced lawyer when you retain Matt Barry Law. I didn't just hire a lawyer to magically make my problems disappear (let's be real, those don't exist). Instead, I found a team in Matt Barry Law, who made it clear that I needed to be an active participant in the process if I wanted the best possible outcome for my case. From the start, it was evident that he expected me to be an integral part of the team. Matt worked with me to prepare for my case, going above and beyond to ensure I was thoroughly prepared. His attention to detail and commitment to my case were impressive, and I appreciated the effort he put into helping me understand every step of the process. By working together, I felt confident that we could achieve the best possible outcome. It was a collaborative effort, and I was grateful to have Matt by my side, guiding me through the complex process and fighting for my rights. Through our prep. we mapped out my career and many contributions to the military and came up with a clear strategy to obtain our objectives for the board. The findings were exactly as we had planned and prepped for, Matt's strategy paid off, and he effectively used the 15-6 to highlight all the mistakes the Investigating Officer (IO) made in reaching his conclusions. It was clear that those mistakes had led to an unjust determination, and Matt's efforts helped to expose the flaws in the IO's reasoning. In my opinion, Matt Barry is the best military lawyer out there, hands down. Throughout the entire process, Matt demonstrated an unparalleled level of expertise and control. He effortlessly commanded the tempo and environment in every room he entered, leaving no doubt that he was the authority on the matter. It was clear to all parties involved that he was the go-to expert, and his confidence and poise were truly impressive. But what really sets Matt apart is his approachability and genuine personality. He's not just a brilliant lawyer; he's also a down-to-earth guy who is easy to talk to and be around. I genuinely enjoy his company, and I'm grateful to call him a friend. This might seem like a small thing, but it's a crucial aspect of building a successful lawyer-client relationship. Matt's accessibility and responsiveness were also exceptional. Despite his hectic schedule, he was always available to answer my questions and address my concerns. I never felt like I was a bother or an afterthought; he made me feel like I was his top priority. That kind of dedication and commitment to his clients is truly rare, and it's a testament to his exceptional character and professionalism. Overall, I feel incredibly fortunate to have had Matt on my side throughout this process. His expertise, confidence, and kindness made all the difference, and I'm grateful for the experience.

Matt is a phenomenal attorney and worth every penny. He not only prepared me exceptionally well to defend against an allegation that could have jeopardized my career and education, but he was also readily available, answering every call and question with clarity. He guided me toward logical decisions, helping me set aside fear and emotion. If you need an attorney and genuinely care about your reputation and career, Matt is your guy.

Attorney Matt Barry represented me in all NJP and Separation matters. Proceedings lasted a total of 15 months of which, Attorney Barry was my greatest asset. His professionalism cannot be surmounted. I couldn’t ask for a more ethical, direct, and honest council. Thanks to his efforts and complete understanding of the law, we successfully overturned separation due to unsubstantiated findings. I will continue to use Attorney Matt Barry’s services and trust his guidance to the fullest extent. I recommend his services to any member in need of representation.

I give my highest and most sincere recommendation to Mr. Matthew Barry. His deep passion for service members and extensive knowledge of complex legal processes were instrumental in navigating the challenges of a GOMOR rebuttal. Thanks to his dedication, I now have a fighting chance at promotion and career advancement after facing what could have been a career-ending situation. Mr. Barry’s legal expertise not only reduced the immense stress I was under but also provided hope when it seemed there was none remaining. He also shed light on critical flaws within the Army’s records correction systems. Above all, Mr. Barry is a true professional who passionately fought for me every step of the way. If you’re facing negative administrative or legal challenges, he is the advocate you need on your side. I cannot recommend him highly enough.

Absolutely the BEST former military attorney that you can hired! You won’t go wrong but don’t take chances procrastinating or waiting the “if”. Attorney Barry is an outstanding legal professional that know the military system and will advocate for you. When the other part read his resume, and learnabout his background and experience, they will be extremely cautious with their actions. Results of the investigation was unfounded! Thank you attorney Barry!
