Not guilty on all charges! Jarret McCormack is an amazing trial lawyer. I was facing multiple false charges from my ex, including false protective order that prevented me from even able to see my child in over a year. This was the most stressful year of my life. All charges found 100% not guilty and the protective order was denied, allowing me to see my child for the first time in almost a year!!!

This was a case with a massive amount of evidence and backstory. Jarret was able to pick up and dig deep on every lie and inconsistency in my exs testimony. He was fast and intelligent in his cross examination. We didnt even have to go through 20% my evidence for the not guilty verdict, which speaks to his ability and efficiency.

McCormack & McCormack has gained more than a stamp of approval from me. My career and the ability to provide for my family was threatened. I didn’t go to court martial however over the course of 20 months “almost 2 years” I finally stood an ADSEP board. Robert Canoy utterly destroyed the government’s defense and poked holes in all their manipulative tactics so that I received a just decision. The final decision was no basis for misconduct and retention. This law firm is more than worthy of your trust if you so choose to obtain their counsel.

They’re direct with communication and will not sugar coat your odds of victory. Though stressful I was told time tables beforehand and always was aware of my odds and chances going through every phase of my case. Which is why honesty upfront matters regarding your case.

They’re more than knowledgeable, they’re experienced and it showed. Not just the lawyers but the paralegals like Kat and Shyanna. They knew military instructions beforehand and were timely as well as efficient with solutions to problems. Their help was crucial when submitting statements and preparing mentally to face a board. Nothing but heartfelt appreciation towards those woman.

They work hard. In the waiting it may not seem as if there’s movement or progress. However behind the scenes or when it was time to board calls were made, emails sent, statements we’re ready, evidence procured, and they knew more ways than one to approach the case and increase the odds of victory. The entire team was on point and had great attention to detail with all facts regarding my case.

They are worth every penny. I can’t truly quantify how great this team is in just this statement alone. They truly deserve more than five stars. I highly recommend this amazing Law firm.

Jarret McCormick I can not express my gratitude for your help.

A special thank you to Courtney for always being available for any and all questions.

All the best,

They tried to end my career but this legal team made sure the truth won.
A week before hitting my 18-year mark in the Navy, my Commanding Officer was still searching for a reason to separate me. First it was unauthorized absence. Then disobeying a general order. Months later, they threw in a charge for falsifying leave requests. Every time, I invoked my rights. Every time, they failed to produce real evidence. But that didn’t stop them. They put me on legal hold. Canceled my orders. Sent NCIS after me. Eleven months of silence, stress, and watching my career hang in the balance because one senior female officer let personal bias override fairness and due process.
Then came the Administrative Separation notice that was vague, baseless, and another desperate attempt to push me out before retirement eligibility.
That’s when Robert Canoy and his defense team, Eugene, Kat, and Shyanna showed up like a wall between me and injustice.

Robert Canoy is the kind of counsel you want when the stakes are high. Sharp, steady, and unshakable, he instantly recognized the weak foundation of the case against me and built a strong, strategic defense with precision.

Eugene brought a calming presence and deep knowledge of legal nuance. He asked the right questions, kept everything organized, and was key in translating legal complexity into a story the board could understand and believe.

Shyanna was the team's quiet strength. Meticulous, determined, and laser-focused on details, she spotted inconsistencies that made a huge difference in our prep and ultimately helped dismantle the allegations. Also was the human side of the defense with empathetic, approachable, and passionate about getting it right. She made me feel heard when I felt ignored, and seen when I felt invisible.
Together, they didn’t just represent me. They fought for me. When I felt like I had no voice, they gave me one. When I felt like a target, they treated me like a person.
They presented the truth with confidence and clarity and when the time came, the board saw right through the smoke. Unanimous decision: 3–0 for retention. No hesitation. No doubt.
If you ever find yourself under unfair fire, with your career or reputation on the line, this is the legal team you want by your side. They saved mine.

I’m going to be honest, Mr Maccormack and his team are the absolute 100% best you can get for every penny spent. If you are looking for someone to help you with the best possible outcome look no further. Not only did he help my end result but also gave me tools to further myself during the process. Truly a master of his profession!

I was facing my 2nd reckless driving charge and they were able to bring it down to a minor traffic infraction, The paralegal Shyanna was one of the best people I have ever met she comforted me and ensured every thing was going to be alright, I am happy to say she stayed true to her word. Hopefully I don’t have trouble with the law again but if I do I know McCormack & McCormack got me!!

I was incredibly fortunate to hire Mr. Robert W. Canoy Jr. during a time when both my career and reputation were at serious risk. Though completely innocent, I found myself in a complex legal situation that threatened to destroy everything I had worked for. From the moment I brought Mr. Canoy onto my case, I knew I had made the right decision.

Mr. Canoy's expertise in military law, particularly his knowledge of the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ), was nothing short of extraordinary. His attention to detail was unparalleled. Every aspect of my case, no matter how small, was thoroughly reviewed, and he left no stone unturned. His deep understanding of military regulations and the legal intricacies involved in cases like mine was evident in everything he did. It was clear that Mr. Canoy wasn’t just going through the motions—he was fighting for my future with everything he had.

What truly set Mr. Canoy apart, however, was his ability to communicate his confidence and knowledge in a way that put me at ease during an incredibly stressful time. Facing an administrative separation board was daunting, and the pressure was immense. But with Mr. Canoy leading my defense, I felt confident that I was in the best hands possible. His calm, assured demeanor and strategic approach gave me the mental clarity to stay focused, even when everything felt overwhelming. When the board ultimately voted unanimously to find no basis for the case against me, it was a clear testament to his skill, dedication, and expertise.

I would also like to take a moment to express my immense gratitude for the exceptional support I received from my paralegal, Mrs. Shyanna Smith. She was an invaluable asset throughout the entire process. Mrs. Smith worked tirelessly to gather and organize all the critical information and evidence for my case. Her unwavering commitment to ensuring everything was in order gave me peace of mind at every step. What truly impressed me was her responsiveness—whenever I had a question or concern, she was quick to address it. If she wasn’t immediately available, she always got back to me promptly, ensuring I never felt alone in the process. Her professionalism, efficiency, and expertise in military law were evident in the way she handled every aspect of my case. Even after my board concluded, Mrs. Smith continued to offer support, further demonstrating her dedication.

Both Mr. Canoy and Mrs. Smith provided an unparalleled level of service and support, and I am forever grateful for their tireless efforts. Their combined knowledge, skill, and commitment to my case were pivotal in securing the favorable outcome I received. If you find yourself in need of legal counsel, I cannot recommend them highly enough—they will fight for you with the same dedication and expertise they showed in fighting for me.

Thank you so much Jarrett McCormack for the tireless effort you put forth in my case. Not only was an innocent man found Not Guilty, by the end of the trial the entire courtroom was convinced of it by the great closing argument you gave.

But, the same passion was shown throughout this 20 month ordeal. You and your staff were timely with information and kept me well engaged with every step of the case. I never felt like you didn’t feel like you were being put on trial as well.

During the trial you showed a keen way of dissecting each point the prosecution attempted to make. You let me know what direction they would go and you had an answer each and every time. It was almost like a scripted movie if not my freedom was at risk.

I recommend any and all that require legal assistance because you’ll be the right person to have on their side.

Thank you again.

Mr. Jarrett McCormack and staff were professional and knowledgeable. They guided me through a very difficult situation and always delivered the truth. I doubt my outcome would have been as favorable without their counsel. Should I ever need legal services in the future, I would not hesitate one bit to call McCormack & McCormack again.

I hired Greg McCormack in November 2022, for a military manner. Him and kat did the best job they are the best in the business they stuck with me for 7 months and fought hard for me, my end result I was proven innocent. If it was wasn’t for those two and the hard work they put in for me, I wouldn’t still be in the navy if you need great legal help they are the ones you want to fight for you !

Jarrett McCormack is listed in "The Best Lawyers in Virginia Beach " as well as " Super Lawyers" and I can attest to the fact this is all true. I was referred to Jarrett and was told he's the best! He represented me for a speeding ticket on Shore Drive. Jarrett made the situation and dealings with it easy and effortless with his and his staffs excellent communication. The speeding ticket was dismissed. I will always refer anyone I know with a legal issue to Jarrett McCormack. I could not have been more impressed.
