“I had a very difficult case that required a lot of research and required lots of dedication. Mr. Gapasin would talk to me day or night regardless of time. He would listen to my concerns and when it came to making decisions he listened to me, advised me and together we came up with my defense. I was acquitted of all charges. I’m positive that my case in any other hands would not have had the results I received. If Mr. Gapasin is available to you, don’t look any further.”

“Sir I can’t put into words how much I appreciate your assistance in this case. Without you I do not think this outcome would be possible. They would have steamrolled me and I would be left with nothing without your relentless defense. Thank you.”

“After almost close to two years and a overzealous trial prosecutor. Mr. Gapasin and a determined ADC came into town and defended what was an apparent UCI and prepped/trained witnesses. In the end, all the prepping and lying couldn’t save the govt. I was charged with 14 specifications and walked out with 2 meaningless guilty, 1 reprimand, and no confinement.”

If you’re where I was just a year ago, you’re in a bad spot, with your career, reputation, and everything else you’ve worked your butt off for in jeopardy. I searched for the BEST military lawyer upon being notified of an allegation of a gender discrimination and sexual harassment. Knowing how the story and allegation was twisted, knowing the government has not done their investigation properly, charges were brought against me, I knew I faced an uphill battle and long road ahead. I submitted a form, giving a brief synopsis on what I was up against, and Mr. Ernesto Gapasin quickly called me back. Right away, I knew I had found my lawyer to defend me as I navigated this nightmare of a process. Today, I type this with an immense amount of relief, as Mr. Gapasin successfully won the BOI, convincing the panel members their claims were UNSUBSTANTIATED and that I had committed NO MISCONDUCT! Being accused of something you know you didn’t do, and coming to terms with something that can have devastating, lifelong implications is horrifying, but Mr. Gapasin never faltered as the government made every attempt at kicking me out. This man is worth triple his price and is worth his weight in gold. The joy and relief I feel, after being able to put this all behind me is simply indescribable. I don’t think it’s fully settled in yet that I can now put all this in my rear view mirror, and move forward with my career, along with my reputation and dignity in tact. If you’re being charged, then you need to fight back. Not tomorrow, not now, but YESTERDAY!!! Don’t hesitate to hire Mr. Ernesto Gapasin so he can start fighting back. He’s easily the best military lawyer, and the way he shoots the prosecution down is simply a work of art. I owe Mr. Gapasin my life and am forever indebted to him. The road wasn’t easy, or quick, but as I lay here and give hope to others who find themselves in the same place I was back in January, I assure you that Mr. Gapasin is THE MAN for the job. Thank you for everything Mr. Gapasin. I’ll never forget you and words simply cannot describe how grateful I am for all your amazing work.

Mr. Gapasin helped me and my wife with each of our military legal issues. He represented me at my separation board. Against all odds I received a favorable verdict. In addition to brining results, he is personable, patient and experienced. A great lawyer and a great person to have in your corner when the waste hits the proverbial fan. Can not recommend him highly enough.

“After being accused of multiple charges by the Military I knew I had to hire the best. After a lot of research and talking to many lawyers I choose Mr. Gapasin. He was there for me whenever I needed him during my court martial. He fought tooth and nail to prove my innocence of crimes that were collaborated by other soldiers. These charges could have ruined my life and my career. However Mr. Gapasin with his hard charging tactics and experience shown during court. Final outcome was not guilty, I couldn’t be happier and thank you Mr. Gapasin for standing by me through all of this. Now I can continue my career and be there for my family all because of you. If you want the best and someone that will put in the extra work then Mr.Gapasin is the right man for you. Thank you again, you have saved my life.”

“I highly recommend Mr. Gapasin for a few reasons. I came under investigation approximately 10 months ago for 7 specifications of mistreatment of Soldiers and 1 charge of being a sexist and degrading leader. I can honestly say I thought my career, life, and my ability to ever be a leader in the Army was over with. On top of the investigation I was treated unfairly, moved 2 hours away from my duty station and forced to endure constant abuse and mistreatment from my own (COC) while their investigaton was on going. I was also forced to sit back while my character was destroyed by younger Soldiers with less than half of my experience and rank. Early on, I was maybe like you not knowing where to turn or how to even go about finding a proper defense. I made 3 separate phone calls to civilian counsel until I spoke with Mr. Gapasin. From the beginning he assured me to follow his instructions which were simply continue to do the right thing along with DO NOT MAKE ANY STATEMENTS TO CID AND/OR THE 15-6 OFFICER. I capitalized the last statement to make it clear Mr. Gapasin has the knowledge and experience to handle your case or any case relatively speaking. It was this vast knowledge that allowed him to destroy the government’s case of over 15 witnesses and multiple charges. He was also able to have the government’s witnesses impeached through their own counsel. I will say up front a proper defense is an expensive one; but truly ask yourself as it is said numerous times, your investment is worth it . . . Frankly speaking the government does not care nor does your COC to ruin your life and good merit in the military. I will always be in debt to Mr. Gapasin, he is an amazing warrior for you in the courtroom.”

“Ernesto, was an awesome attorney. I hired Ernesto in May of 2014 and we did not go into court until Nov 23, 2015. Ernesto was professional and engaging the entire time. He was very accessible throughout the long legal process leading to the day of court. He was passionate about my case and I felt like I knew him for years after a short period of time.  On the day of court, he had a plan, but like any good plan – it was subject to change. Ernesto had very impactful opening and closing statements and was very organized and prepared to counter any of the imposing arguments. There were several spontaneous events during the court proceeding to include accessing Face Book for pictures. His keen attention to detail allowed us to maneuver our way through the entire proceedings and make changes as necessary to leave a lasting impact on the board and the court room. I am very appreciative of his hard work, dedication to his client and hunger for justice.  I highly recommend obtaining him as your attorney in a time of crisis. Thanks to Ernesto, I am able to continue to serve in the Army and protect this great nation.”

“I was facing UCMJ article 128 assault consummated by battery with two specifications (choking and intent to cause grievous bodily harm). I was facing a special court martial in which the Air Force had given me four weeks to prepare. I called Mr. Gapasin desperate for someone to hear my side of the case and understand. I called many lawyers prior to Ernesto and never got a feeling they had my best interest at heart. My consultation with Mr. Gapasin put my mind at ease. He diligently started working on my case and got me a continuation. Mr. Gapasin would give me as much information as I needed to know but did not over do it. I had faith in him from the beginning. He was understanding of my financial situations, and never once did pressure me for payment. Ernesto worked well with my military appointed lawyer and even flew directly to Japan for my case. He went into my case with confidence and was very aggressive. All in all, Mr. Ernesto reduced my case from a special court martial to a Summary Courts Martial. My charges for assault was dropped to a disorderly conduct and I did not lose my NCO status. If you’re looking for a honest, reliable, trustworthy, aggressive lawyer. Mr, Gapasin is the attorney for you! Thank you again Mr. Gapasin for saving my life!”

“My case was dismissed shortly after I spoke to Mr. Gapasin and the SAUSA was presented with the circumstances behind my case. I was falsely accused and charged with simple assault after I reported my accuser of cheating on a practical exam and having a video recording of her doing it. Her accusation put my career in jeopardy as CID tried to spin a tap on the shoulder 4 weeks prior into an assault charge. The Army’s overzealous SHARP program fueled her ability to make the accusation against me and made her out to be the victim rather than the subject. Mr. Gapasin was not hesitant to take my case, take on the SHARP program, and the cheater making the false accusation against me.
