Mr.Karns and his paralegal were helpful at all times and always very professional. They will do whatever they can to always give the best end result in whatever case you may be. Always being transparent and honest. I definitely felt a lot more at ease with Mr.Karns in my corner. Thank you!

Asleep one night, after an argument with my ex-girlfriend, whom I didn’t lay a finger on that night, I get woken up by the MPs to hear I had been accused of assault. I did not make a statement that night, knowing that statements can be used against you. At that time I did not know anything about the military justice system. A couple of months go by and, no one had contacted me to hear my side of the story. That assault charge turned into domestic violence. Then one day I get notified that I was going to face and Administrative Separation Board with an other than honorable (OTH) discharge. I thought to myself “how can this be?” what evidence are they looking at, that they went so extreme I had not done anything and, I had never been in trouble during my career. I felt like my world was caving in and went into a dark depression. My unit basically told me there was no hope and that I should prepare for a life outside of the military. Unfortunately the Army life and it’s all I’ve ever known. I frantically start looking up attorneys online since, hadn’t even heard of any one going through an AD SEP board. Mr. Karns was at the top of my google search [redacted] so, I contacted him immediately. Right off the bat he was very professional and it sounded like he knew exactly what he was talking about, at that point, it wasn’t a question whether to hire him. Whenever, I would worry about my case, which was quite a heavy burden, I would just google Stephen Karns and see all of his accomplishments and experience; I knew I was in good hands. I get PCS’d back to the states in preparation for the board and get an administrative position that took me away from my operational MOS. About a year after the incident, while awaiting my separation board I get hit with a GOMOR for the same incident. Again, I frantically call Mr. Karns, he replied immediately and gave me the hope and peace of mind that I needed. He had a strong rebuttal written with in a week. Months later, I found out that my GOMOR was filed in my AMHRR, which crushed me even more. A few months later my Separation Board notification came. A day prior to the board, I met with Mr. Karns in person, he went over all the evidence with me and individually interviewed all of my witnesses. He also had me rehearse my statement multiple times. The next day I walked in to the board with with the utmost confidence. Mr. Karns’ defense was so aggressive that he had the prosecutor stuttering during the board. With his expertise, he pointed out all of the conflicting evidence. It was easy for the board to find me “NOT GUILTY”. A few months later I went through the QMP Board, because of my GOMOR, I submitted my Separation Board Result in my QMP mitigation and was retained in the Military. I owe my career to Mr. Karns, I will be thankful to him for the rest of my days.

Leanna was recommended to me by a friend, I couldn't be more pleased with how she was able to help me during the most difficult time in my working career. She was knowledgeable, responsive, easy to talk to and seemed to really care about what I was going through. She really listened to what I was dealing with and let me know how she would proceed with helping to resolve this matter. I truly appreciated having her on my team!

Amazing representation for active duty! He made a very difficult situation much easier to handle. He was quick, efficient and t was reassuring having him in our corner. Worth every penny and while I hope to never need his services in the future, if I did he would be my first choice!

Leanna was great! She did not charge for her time vested with us but rather she went above and beyond, very competent with contract law. As a NP, she assisted my sister and I decipher whether we should honestly pursue an employer who changed their contract on us. I truly appreciated her thoughtful ear and understanding and not charging us for the advise. It came at a time when we required the compassion, but also the understanding of the law to make an informed decision. I’m so thankful for the kindness and forever grateful. In Tx, it’s quite difficult to find compassionate attorneys who will even take on your case, let alone provide you with honest feedback, but that being said, I’m confident that you would be in good hands with Leanna. My very best to her with her practice, which no doubt will thrive because she practices with integrity and compassion.

I sent an email 2 weeks ago inquiring about a situation and have not heard back.

A Great Attorney I am pleased with being represented by Marchand Law. David is compassionate, knowledgeable and an influential lawyer who represented me during a difficult situation. The communication was excellent, and the results were better than expected. Always well prepared and reliable. I am very appreciative and recommend him. Brandon - Client
