I am a current active duty E-4 in the Navy and my command attempted to throw the book at me for something I did not do. This was all based on hearsay. No facts. No evidence. It boiled down to he said/ she said. Long story short, I was accused of harassment, bullying, indecent language, and hostile work environment to which I was being sent to Battalion level NJP. As soon as I was told this information, I went to Google, found Sean Mangan, and gave him a call. During his free consultation, I could tell he was someone who would get things done. The rest is history. I told him I was innocent and did not do any of these things. His advice was to request a Court Martial in order to fight these claims instead of taking the punishment. This process took an entire year because of all the government delays, set backs, and shady tactics. Sean never wavered. He always reassured me that we were on the right track and he was in my corner. He doesn’t make promises he can’t keep BUT he will fight until the end and will lay everything out, the good, the bad, the ugly. I knew what my options were and what the different outcomes would be. On the day of my Court Martial, as nervous as I was, standing next to Sean eased my worries. He was so professional, well prepared, ready to object to any falsities the government had up their sleeves, spoke so concisely and matter of factly in a way that was extremely comforting to me, as the accused. He’s also funny. I think his slight humorous jokes played into this as well. During the four long days, Sean was on top of it. He listened carefully, tore apart the witnesses' stories, created plenty of reasonable doubt, and overall uncovered the truth to the panel that these accusations had no merit. This was the best decision I could have made and was absolutely worth every dime to hire Sean. If you’re on the fence, don’t be. Sean took care of me and my family by getting a full acquittal of all charges and specifications.

I am currently a Captain in the Regular Army, and I owe my military career to Sean Mangan. My story began five years ago, when I became the subject of a formal investigation. I wasn’t educated on how detrimental adverse administrative actions could be to my career, and I didn’t receive the resultsof the investigation until three months later. The investigation was riddled with errors based on third-party information, and I was treated as an outcast, unable to correct the record. It was terrifying to realize that all my military accomplishments could be disregarded. After returning from deployment, I became a constant target of my leadership, who prevented me from PCS-ing by altering my YMAV multiple times without consulting me. I submitted a request to appeal the findings of the investigation based on new evidence, but my Brigade Commander denied it and moved forward with initiating administrative separation. I felt hopeless and defeated until I found Sean Mangan. He submitted written responses on my behalf, presenting strong arguments that persuaded the Post Commander to retain me without a Board of Inquiry. Furthermore, his legal expertise led to the Army Board for Correction of Military Records (ABCMR) ruling in my favor, resulting in the GOMOR being moved to my restricted file and giving me a second chance at my career. As a Company Commander, I faced several instances where Brigade Judge Advocates attempted to push me into initiating a GOMOR or administrative separation on enlisted soldiers based on minimal proof. The formal investigation process is deeply flawed and needs reform. Sean Mangan is someone who listens and provides hope. With his experience as a retired Army Judge, he delivers the best possible defense. He continues to serve because he genuinely cares about helping service members in tough situations. I will always be grateful for what Sean Mangan has done for me and my family.

I hired Sean to ensure my rank was not reduced at retirement during the AGDRB process. He took me on as a client with short notice and was able to present my case and bring a hammer to fight back against the issues and damage my former command left me. His understanding of the military justice systemand processes is unmatched, being a former JAG officer. In the end I was able to retain my current rank at retirement - money well spent in my book. My only regret was not hiring Sean earlier when the salacious accusations were made against me, and relying on the provided military attorney. Just like Soldiers, not all military assigned counsel are the best or prioritize your situation. Hire that private lawyer early and fight back. Most commanding officers are risk adverse politicians and will side with the safest option for military justice. Do not give them that option. Hire Sean and let him fight it out for you to provide the best chance of winning your case and retaining your good name and reputation.

I am very thankful and appreciative of the timely case review for my career! The team was very helpful with getting me through a difficult time in my life! They are very knowledgeable and experienced. Highly recommend! You will be in good hands!

I’m an Army NCO.  I was under investigation for actions I took both as a supervisor and activities in the course of my duties.  Even though I had done nothing wrong, my career was on the line and I didn’t trust the system to take care of me.  I knew needed legal representation from someone who understood both Army administrative actions (NCOER's, 15-6’s) and duty specific action review. I found and hired LTC(Ret) Mangan because of his unique combination of military, legal, and law enforcement experience.  He worked with me to make sure the facts were straight and my interests were protected, He stayed in touch, even after-hours and on weekends.  With his help, I got my NCOER corrected to remove adverse comments and rating and received no adverse action from the investigation.  I highly recommend that you intrust LTC(Ret) Mangan to defend you.

I had the privilege of working with LTC(Ret) Mangan during a difficult time in my life, and I can’t recommend him highly enough. As an undergraduate and Army ROTC cadet, I sustained an injury during training, and instead of receiving support, my program wanted to push me out and make me pay for my education. Mr. Mangan’s deep knowledge of Army regulations and systems was a game-changer. He helped me navigate the complex situation, ensuring I could finish my degree on scholarship despite the program’s efforts to remove me. His dedication and advocacy made all the difference, and he truly had my best interests at heart. If you need legal help, especially in military matters, LTC(Ret) Mangan is an exceptional choice. His expertise and commitment to his clients are unmatched, and I’m incredibly grateful for his support.

I cannot express enough gratitude for the incredible work Sean Mangan provided during one of the most challenging times of my life. As a Department of Defense Army Civilian, being falsely accused of a SHARP violation felt devastating, both personally and professionally. However, he not only offered unparalleled legal expertise but also gave me hope when I felt the odds were stacked against me. From the very beginning, Sean approached my case with compassion, professionalism, and meticulous attention to detail. He took the time to understand every aspect of the situation, leaving no stone unturned in building a strong defense. His deep knowledge of military law and SHARP protocols was evident throughout, and he consistently kept me informed and reassured every step of the way. What truly stood out was his unwavering dedication to justice and belief in my innocence. Sean fought tirelessly on my behalf, and I was cleared of all accusations, and my reputation was restored. If you’re looking for a lawyer who will advocate for you with integrity, diligence, and genuine care, I wholeheartedly recommend LTC(Ret) Sean Mangan. He not only saved my career but also reminded me that justice can prevail, even in the darkest moments.

I recently worked with Sean Mangan challenging a military matter and I am incredibly grateful for his dedication, expertise, and professionalism throughout the process. From the start Sean demonstrated an impressive understanding of the law and developed a clear strategy that gave me confidence during a stressful time. Beyond his expertise, he showed genuine care for me and my situation, ensuring I felt supported along the way. I am thankful to have him in my corner and would recommend him without hesitation to anyone in need of legal Representation

I am a Navy Petty Officer who was falsely accused of sexual misconduct. Even though no criminal charges were filed, my command forced me to take nonjudicial punishment and then tried to administratively separate me. I hired LTC(Ret) Mangan to defend me at my board hearing, where the board unanimously found that the evidence did not support the allegations against me. Mr. Mangan was engaged through the year plus allegations and military process. The day of the board I was confident in the preparation and the process/script the military was taking in the matter. I would highly recommend any service member to take his counsel and legal help in any matter! 10/10.
