If you don’t have time to read then know this, if you are in serious military justice or administrative separation trouble and need support, Mike Berens is the guy to call. I am a Major in the US Army, a husband, a father of four, and a proud mustang (NCO to Officer) with over 18 years of service. I never thought I would be put in a situation that would require me to need a military defense lawyer. Unfortunately, there are individuals that have malicious intent and have learned how to weaponize the military justice system for their own vengeance or personal means. I happened to be the victim of a rather extreme case. After 5 months of allowing the military system to run its course, enduring a criminal investigation flag, and being removed from my resident ILE assignment, I had enough. My accusers were manipulating the system and I wanted resolution. The judge advocate military lawyers were unable to assist me so I started researching civilian military lawyers in the area. After reaching out to several lawyers and through my own process of elimination, Mike Berens agreed to meet with me face to face. After only a few minutes I knew he was the no bull, honest, and dedicated individual that I needed. My case ended up dragging out for over 14 months and Mike, though handling his intense trial schedule, supporting other clients, and excelling in his position as the Washington State Air Force National Guard, never let me down. After 2 days of an intense trial I was presented the best possible outcome…complete acquittal. He listened, he learned the facts, he knew my case and the individuals involved. He is the individual you want defending you in a court room. I am pretty confident that he saved my credibility, my career, and my retirement worth over $2.5 million. Choosing The Sound Military Lawyer, Mike Berens to represent me regardless of the outcome was the right move. If you are reading this review trying to decide…stop and give him a call, you will be thankful you did.

Mike hands down has gone above and beyond what I would have expect for a military lawyer. Not only did he travel with me to Washington DC for a board that was over 2 days but he continuously worked the case before and after. His attention to detail was outstanding and was able to add a second military lawyer when the military was saying otherwise. I was facing a less then ideal discharge and was able to secure a honorable with the possibility of future retention. I would not have felt as comfortable with the board if it wasn’t for mike.

After 5 months of allowing the military system to run its course, enduring a criminal investigation flag, and being removed from my resident ILE assignment, I had enough. My accusers were manipulating the system and I wanted resolution. The judge advocate military lawyers were unable to assist me so I started researching civilian military lawyers in the area.

Act Now! Don’t wait any longer! Mr. Berens will surpass every expectation. I reached out to Mr. Berens for legal advise regarding my military career. I was facing UOTHC for something I didn’t commit. Mr. Berens or “Mike” heard me, cared for me, and advised me right away! We then met face to face. At the time, I was hesitant due to pricing on lawyers. I reached out towards the end of the legal process; I didn’t realized it but I wish I would have contacted him from the beginning. If you need help contact him now! Mr. Berens studied my case heavily and intensively. Not only he had the patience to hear my stories, my complaints, my fears he also kept his composure on every moment of the process. The process took months and he was there, checking in, giving me updates etc… Alas, we were scheduled for court where we could show our innocence. Mike went into court like a LION. He showed detailed and accurate evidence, he memorized my story, he advocated for me like no-one else did, and stood by my side when no one else believed me. After 3 extensive days, Mike delivered. He saved me from the UOTHC. He proved my innocence! To this date he still helps my the legal processes that are following up; he is still helping me. I got nothing but admiration for Mike a veteran lawyer. Overall, he is Attentive, Caring, Passionate, Responsable, and the BEST!!!!

I was falsely accused of domestic violence by my spouse after I informed their command of their infidelity and suicidal threats. I sought out Mike for his expertise in military law. He consulted with me numerous times and gave me sound, professional advice and peace of mind. He walked me through the process, told me what to expect, and was there for me every step of the way and any time that I needed him. He is very knowledgeable, polite, and respectful, and he genuinely wants to help you through what is likely the most difficult and trying time of your life. I highly recommend Mike to anyone dealing with military law or criminal defense.

I can not say enough about Mike except that I had experience other Large Firms and local attorneys and was very refreshing to work with Mike.

If you don’t have time to read then know this, if you are in serious military justice or administrative separation trouble and need support, Mike Berens is the guy to call. I am a Major in the US Army, a husband, a father of four, and a proud mustang (NCO to Officer) with over 18 years of service. I never thought I would be put in a situation that would require me to need a military defense lawyer. Unfortunately, there are individuals that have malicious intent and have learned how to weaponize the military justice system for their own vengeance or personal means. I happened to be the victim of a rather extreme case. After 5 months of allowing the military system to run its course, enduring a criminal investigation flag, and being removed from my resident ILE assignment, I had enough. My accusers were manipulating the system and I wanted resolution. The judge advocate military lawyers were unable to assist me so I started researching civilian military lawyers in the area. After reaching out to several lawyers and through my own process of elimination, Mike Berens agreed to meet with me face to face. After only a few minutes I knew he was the no bull, honest, and dedicated individual that I needed. My case ended up dragging out for over 14 months and Mike, though handling his intense trial schedule, supporting other clients, and excelling in his position as the Washington State Air Force National Guard, never let me down. After 2 days of an intense trial I was presented the best possible outcome…complete acquittal. He listened, he learned the facts, he knew my case and the individuals involved. He is the individual you want defending you in a court room. I am pretty confident that he saved my credibility, my career, and my retirement worth over $2.5 million.

If you are reading this review trying to decide…stop and give him a call, you will be thankful you did.

Mike hands down has gone above and beyond what I would have expect for a military lawyer. Not only did he travel with me to Washington DC for a board that was over 2 days but he continuously worked the case before and after. His attention to detail was outstanding and was able to add a second military lawyer when the military was saying otherwise. I was facing a less then ideal discharge and was able to secure a honorable with the possibility of future retention. I would not have felt as comfortable with the board if it wasn’t for mike.

After 6 deployments and serving 8 honorable years in one of the Army's most elite units I found myself in Pre-trial confinement facing a laundry list of felonies. What did I do? I did what any military service member should do, if and when they are facing any sort of military punishment. I hired the best lawyer that I could and that lawyer was Mike Berens. Mike Berens is by far the best lawyer in the Puget sound area and perhaps the country. My family and I did extensive research on all the military lawyers in the JBLM area. I talked with most that are on the AVVO website and after careful consideration we chose Mike Berens. I cannot say enough good things about him, but I will try anyway. He is a man of the highest caliber. He is dependable, trustworthy, hardworking, and transparent. Mike is everything that a lawyer should be. Somebody who can help give you peace of mind, someone who will work his butt off for you to get the best possible result. If you find yourself in a tough situation let Mike put the burden on his shoulders and he will carry you through. And when you have your day in court and your ass is on the line, you better make sure you have Mike standing there with you. I did and I have the utmost respect and gratitude for what he did for me. Do not take the hiring of a lawyer lightly. It can and will make all the difference in your outcome. All charges dismissed! What else do I need to say.

Not only did he travel with me to Washington DC for a board that was over 2 days but he continuously worked the case before and after. His attention to detail was outstanding and was able to add a second military lawyer when the military was saying otherwise. I was facing a less then ideal discharge and was able to secure a honorable with the possibility of future retention. I would not have felt as comfortable with the board if it wasn’t for mike.

After 6 deployments and serving 8 honorable years in one of the Army's most elite units I found myself in Pre-trial confinement facing a laundry list of felonies. What did I do? I did what any military service member should do, if and when they are facing any sort of military punishment. I hired the best lawyer that I could and that lawyer was Mike Berens. Mike Berens is by far the best lawyer in the Puget sound area and perhaps the country. My family and I did extensive research on all the military lawyers in the JBLM area. I talked with most that are on the AVVO website and after careful consideration we chose Mike Berens. I cannot say enough good things about him, but I will try anyway. He is a man of the highest caliber. He is dependable, trustworthy, hardworking, and transparent. Mike is everything that a lawyer should be. Somebody who can help give you peace of mind, someone who will work his butt off for you to get the best possible result. If you find yourself in a tough situation let Mike put the burden on his shoulders and he will carry you through. And when you have your day in court and your ass is on the line, you better make sure you have Mike standing there with you. I did and I have the utmost respect and gratitude for what he did for me. Do not take the hiring of a lawyer lightly. It can and will make all the difference in your outcome. All charges dismissed! What else do I need to say. Do yourself a big favor and contact this man now, let him help you and soon you will be back on this AVVO website extolling the outstanding work of Mr. Mike Berens.

Act Now! Don’t wait any longer! Mr. Berens will surpass every expectation. I reached out to Mr. Berens for legal advise regarding my military career. I was facing UOTHC for something I didn’t commit. Mr. Berens or “Mike” heard me, cared for me, and advised me right away! We then met face to face. At the time, I was hesitant due to pricing on lawyers. I reached out towards the end of the legal process; I didn’t realized it but I wish I would have contacted him from the beginning. If you need help contact him now! Mr. Berens studied my case heavily and intensively. Not only he had the patience to hear my stories, my complaints, my fears he also kept his composure on every moment of the process. The process took months and he was there, checking in, giving me updates etc… Alas, we were scheduled for court where we could show our innocence. Mike went into court like a LION. He showed detailed and accurate evidence, he memorized my story, he advocated for me like no-one else did, and stood by my side when no one else believed me. After 3 extensive days, Mike delivered. He saved me from the UOTHC. He proved my innocence! To this date he still helps my the legal processes that are following up; he is still helping me. I got nothing but admiration for Mike a veteran lawyer. Overall, he is Attentive, Caring, Passionate, Responsable, and the BEST!!!!

I was falsely accused of domestic violence by my spouse after I informed their command of their infidelity and suicidal threats. I sought out Mike for his expertise in military law. He consulted with me numerous times and gave me sound, professional advice and peace of mind. He walked me through the process, told me what to expect, and was there for me every step of the way and any time that I needed him. He is very knowledgeable, polite, and respectful, and he genuinely wants to help you through what is likely the most difficult and trying time of your life. I highly recommend Mike to anyone dealing with military law or criminal defense.

I can not say enough about Mike except that I had experience other Large Firms and local attorneys and was very refreshing to work with Mike. He was very objective and challenge me because the charges were malicious but he was able to review alot of documents ( three years of correspondence and investigations). He earn my trust and respect through his dedication and hard work. When you are facing charges, you are very vulnerable and can be victimized by unscrupulous firms, please do not go with anyone else because it can make you feel further victimized. Mike Berens had my trust and respect because his ethical values and sincere approach to his clients. I am forever grateful and thankful for his amazing attorney skills during my 2 hearings. Due to his hard work I will be allowed to continue to serve in the US Navy until I am eligible for retirement in 2024 and will keep my nursing credentials.

If you don’t have time to read then know this, if you are in serious military justice or administrative separation trouble and need support, Mike Berens is the guy to call. I am a Major in the US Army, a husband, a father of four, and a proud mustang (NCO to Officer) with over 18 years of service. I never thought I would be put in a situation that would require me to need a military defense lawyer. Unfortunately, there are individuals that have malicious intent and have learned how to weaponize the military justice system for their own vengeance or personal means. I happened to be the victim of a rather extreme case. After 5 months of allowing the military system to run its course, enduring a criminal investigation flag, and being removed from my resident ILE assignment, I had enough. My accusers were manipulating the system and I wanted resolution. The judge advocate military lawyers were unable to assist me so I started researching civilian military lawyers in the area. After reaching out to several lawyers and through my own process of elimination, Mike Berens agreed to meet with me face to face. After only a few minutes I knew he was the no bull, honest, and dedicated individual that I needed. My case ended up dragging out for over 14 months and Mike, though handling his intense trial schedule, supporting other clients, and excelling in his position as the Washington State Air Force National Guard, never let me down. After 2 days of an intense trial I was presented the best possible outcome…complete acquittal. He listened, he learned the facts, he knew my case and the individuals involved. He is the individual you want defending you in a court room. I am pretty confident that he saved my credibility, my career, and my retirement worth over $2.5 million. Choosing The Sound Military Lawyer, Mike Berens to represent me regardless of the outcome was the right move. If you are reading this review trying to decide…stop and give him a call, you will be thankful you did.

Mike hands down has gone above and beyond what I would have expect for a military lawyer. Not only did he travel with me to Washington DC for a board that was over 2 days but he continuously worked the case before and after. His attention to detail was outstanding and was able to add a second military lawyer when the military was saying otherwise. I was facing a less then ideal discharge and was able to secure a honorable with the possibility of future retention. I would not have felt as comfortable with the board if it wasn’t for mike.

I am a Major in the US Army, a husband, a father of four, and a proud mustang (NCO to Officer) with over 18 years of service. I never thought I would be put in a situation that would require me to need a military defense lawyer. Unfortunately, there are individuals that have malicious intent and have learned how to weaponize the military justice system for their own vengeance or personal means. I happened to be the victim of a rather extreme case. After 5 months of allowing the military system to run its course, enduring a criminal investigation flag, and being removed from my resident ILE assignment, I had enough. My accusers were manipulating the system and I wanted resolution. The judge advocate military lawyers were unable to assist me so I started researching civilian military lawyers in the area. After reaching out to several lawyers and through my own process of elimination, Mike Berens agreed to meet with me face to face. After only a few minutes I knew he was the no bull, honest, and dedicated individual that I needed. My case ended up dragging out for over 14 months and Mike, though handling his intense trial schedule, supporting other clients, and excelling in his position as the Washington State Air Force National Guard, never let me down. After 2 days of an intense trial I was presented the best possible outcome…complete acquittal. He listened, he learned the facts, he knew my case and the individuals involved. He is the individual you want defending you in a court room. I am pretty confident that he saved my credibility, my career, and my retirement worth over $2.5 million.

Mike hands down has gone above and beyond what I would have expect for a military lawyer. Not only did he travel with me to Washington DC for a board that was over 2 days but he continuously worked the case before and after. His attention to detail was outstanding and was able to add a second military lawyer when the military was saying otherwise. I was facing a less then ideal discharge and was able to secure a honorable with the possibility of future retention. I would not have felt as comfortable with the board if it wasn’t for mike.

I was acquitted of all three charges against me. these three charges where nothing to be messing around with which is why I hired Mr. Berens. from that date he has been nothing but supportive, proffesional and most important to me, very caring. this was no easy case, it had a lot of challenges, specially dealing with the military. that didn't detear him from his dedication to helping me and ensuring I was treated fairly and within the spectrum of the law. mike is a very smart and hard working individual who stand ups for justice and righteousness. apart from getting acquitted, the one thing that resinated with me and I could never be grateful enough, is that even though I was a paying customer, Mr. Berens never once treated me as such. his behavior with me was if I was a family member, making sure I was doing well, keeping me updated, making sure I was given the treatment I deserved by my branch of service, and many more to list. overall, I could never repay Mike Berens for the gratitude and service he rendered to me and my family. my family and I are finally free from this dark moment in our lifes thanks to mikes dedication and countless hours of examinations. I highly recommend his services 1,000 times. thank you mike your the best and you'll always have my gratitude. - Jose

Act Now! Don’t wait any longer! Mr. Berens will surpass every expectation. I reached out to Mr. Berens for legal advise regarding my military career. I was facing UOTHC for something I didn’t commit. Mr. Berens or “Mike” heard me, cared for me, and advised me right away! We then met face to face. At the time, I was hesitant due to pricing on lawyers. I reached out towards the end of the legal process; I didn’t realized it but I wish I would have contacted him from the beginning. If you need help contact him now! Mr. Berens studied my case heavily and intensively. Not only he had the patience to hear my stories, my complaints, my fears he also kept his composure on every moment of the process. The process took months and he was there, checking in, giving me updates etc… Alas, we were scheduled for court where we could show our innocence. Mike went into court like a LION. He showed detailed and accurate evidence, he memorized my story, he advocated for me like no-one else did, and stood by my side when no one else believed me. After 3 extensive days, Mike delivered. He saved me from the UOTHC. He proved my innocence! To this date he still helps my the legal processes that are following up; he is still helping me. I got nothing but admiration for Mike a veteran lawyer. Overall, he is Attentive, Caring, Passionate, Responsable, and the BEST!!!!

I was falsely accused of domestic violence by my spouse after I informed their command of their infidelity and suicidal threats. I sought out Mike for his expertise in military law. He consulted with me numerous times and gave me sound, professional advice and peace of mind. He walked me through the process, told me what to expect, and was there for me every step of the way and any time that I needed him. He is very knowledgeable, polite, and respectful, and he genuinely wants to help you through what is likely the most difficult and trying time of your life. I highly recommend Mike to anyone dealing with military law or criminal defense.

I can not say enough about Mike except that I had experience other Large Firms and local attorneys and was very refreshing to work with Mike. He was very objective and challenge me because the charges were malicious but he was able to review alot of documents ( three years of correspondence and investigations). He earn my trust and respect through his dedication and hard work. When you are facing charges, you are very vulnerable and can be victimized by unscrupulous firms, please do not go with anyone else because it can make you feel further victimized. Mike Berens had my trust and respect because his ethical values and sincere approach to his clients. I am forever grateful and thankful for his amazing attorney skills during my 2 hearings. Due to his hard work I will be allowed to continue to serve in the US Navy until I am eligible for retirement in 2024 and will keep my nursing credentials.

Mike was incredibly helpful, patient and thorough in helping me navigate the military legal system. I truly appreciated his passionate and committed defense of me and helping to facilitate a fair judgment. I have no hesitancy in recommending this experienced and professional attorney to any military personnel or Families.

If you don’t have time to read then know this, if you are in serious military justice or administrative separation trouble and need support, Mike Berens is the guy to call. I am a Major in the US Army, a husband, a father of four, and a proud mustang (NCO to Officer) with over 18 years of service. I never thought I would be put in a situation that would require me to need a military defense lawyer. Unfortunately, there are individuals that have malicious intent and have learned how to weaponize the military justice system for their own vengeance or personal means. I happened to be the victim of a rather extreme case. After 5 months of allowing the military system to run its course, enduring a criminal investigation flag, and being removed from my resident ILE assignment, I had enough. My accusers were manipulating the system and I wanted resolution. The judge advocate military lawyers were unable to assist me so I started researching civilian military lawyers in the area. After reaching out to several lawyers and through my own process of elimination, Mike Berens agreed to meet with me face to face. After only a few minutes I knew he was the no bull, honest, and dedicated individual that I needed. My case ended up dragging out for over 14 months and Mike, though handling his intense trial schedule, supporting other clients, and excelling in his position as the Washington State Air Force National Guard, never let me down. After 2 days of an intense trial I was presented the best possible outcome…complete acquittal. He listened, he learned the facts, he knew my case and the individuals involved. He is the individual you want defending you in a court room. I am pretty confident that he saved my credibility, my career, and my retirement worth over $2.5 million. Choosing The Sound Military Lawyer, Mike Berens to represent me regardless of the outcome was the right move. If you are reading this review trying to decide…stop and give him a call, you will be thankful you did.

Mike hands down has gone above and beyond what I would have expect for a military lawyer. Not only did he travel with me to Washington DC for a board that was over 2 days but he continuously worked the case before and after. His attention to detail was outstanding and was able to add a second military lawyer when the military was saying otherwise. I was facing a less then ideal discharge and was able to secure a honorable with the possibility of future retention. I would not have felt as comfortable with the board if it wasn’t for mike.

After 6 deployments and serving 8 honorable years in one of the Army's most elite units I found myself in Pre-trial confinement facing a laundry list of felonies. What did I do? I did what any military service member should do, if and when they are facing any sort of military punishment. I hired the best lawyer that I could and that lawyer was Mike Berens. Mike Berens is by far the best lawyer in the Puget sound area and perhaps the country. My family and I did extensive research on all the military lawyers in the JBLM area. I talked with most that are on the AVVO website and after careful consideration we chose Mike Berens. I cannot say enough good things about him, but I will try anyway. He is a man of the highest caliber. He is dependable, trustworthy, hardworking, and transparent. Mike is everything that a lawyer should be. Somebody who can help give you peace of mind, someone who will work his butt off for you to get the best possible result. If you find yourself in a tough situation let Mike put the burden on his shoulders and he will carry you through. And when you have your day in court and your ass is on the line, you better make sure you have Mike standing there with you. I did and I have the utmost respect and gratitude for what he did for me. Do not take the hiring of a lawyer lightly. It can and will make all the difference in your outcome. All charges dismissed! What else do I need to say. Do yourself a big favor and contact this man now, let him help you and soon you will be back on this AVVO website extolling the outstanding work of Mr. Mike Berens.
