Mr. Harnish is an excellent attorney that is experienced in military law and its system. His vast knowledge and experience of the military judicial system were instrumental in my case. He advocates for his clients and kept me informed every step of the way. I had the best possible outcome in my case and I know it was in large part to his expertise. Thank you Mr. Harnish!

I was acquainted with Mr. Harnish, after being notified by a past friend that CID called and was inquiring about events that took place almost five years ago. The allegations the agents were investigating were false and fabricated, however, I knew the narrative this individual was spinning carried severe consequences. After conducting some personal research on what to expect during an investigation involving a violation of article 120, I knew two things; first I had a short amount of time to protect myself from invasive legal techniques, and second, if I had any chance of fighting this accusation, I was going to need to seek private counsel. Over the course of forty-eight hours, I narrowed my search to three firms. I focused my search on those firms that specialized in UCMJ law and had a reputation for superior performance. I called all three however, the main factor that led me to favor Mr. Harnish, was his strategy to fight hard during the investigation phase to steer the outcome outside of a courtroom. He was never intimidated or led me to believe that this case was unwinnable. He listened intently, asked tough questions, and laid out a strategy for his defense. He was extremely proactive, the same day I picked him as my defense, he provided my command, CID and JAG a letter of representation. He also personally contacted all the parties to gather an understanding of the situation and the accusations. Running parallel to his actions, he had his investigator begin a separate investigation into the events that took place. Interviews were conducted along with forensics of my devices to help gather evidence on my behalf. Over the course of seven months, he executed his strategy flawlessly, eventually leading to an outcome of unfounded. By hiring Cody so early in the process I never experienced the more severe trauma associated with being under investigation. Having him was like having a bodyguard in your corner. Not one day have I regretted the money spent to have him in my corner. Cody, I cannot put into words how thankful I am for everything you did for me.

I could not have asked for better or more professional representation. Mr. Cody Harnish would set time aside for me no matter the time. Separated by 16 hours did not stop him from communicating effectively. Very knowledgeable in military law, he worked very diligently on my case and managed to get me far better results than I assumed would be the best case scenario! Would recommend to any service member interested in being represented by an attorney who cares about getting results.

SSG (E-6) — “Best of the Best”

Let’s just say thank God for Google and my family finding this firm. From start to finish this firm is extremely professional and handles everything with great care and concern. This was a 1 and a half year investigation that led to a General Court martial. We were fighting for my 11-year career with MEB pending. Mr. Harnish was always several steps ahead in planning, preparing, and processing all possible avenues of this case. In the end, I received the absolute best possible outcome. Overall, I cannot thank Mr. Harnish or this firm enough. He gave me my life back and my future as well.

SGT (E-5)

It has been a great honor to have Cody Harnish represent me in a court martial. Where I was facing possible life sentences based off false allegations. His knowledge and experience with the Uniformed Code of Military Justice along with his expertise in civilian legal matters helped secure a not guilty verdict in less than an hour of deliberations by the jury. For that I am forever grateful. I would highly recommend Cody Harnish as your defense counsel.

SPC (E-4)

Mr Cody Harnish worked very diligently with my case. He counseled me throughout my entire court martial process, providing me with his knowledge and expertise in the matter. During the week of the court martial he used all the evidence that was available to prove to the panel without a reasonable doubt that I was innocent of the alleged charges. The dedication he has to prove your innocence is unmatched. Truly grateful to have been represented by such a great defense counsel.

My Command was seeking to separate me from military service for being dropped from a key development course after being rendered unable to continue due to a behavioral health crisis. The odds had felt stacked against me for several months. Cody, understandably, kept his cards close to the chest in our first meeting, listening to my story, digging and sifting through the last several months I had lived through to come up with all of the facts, including the facts disregarded by my Command. On the day of the board I felt nervous and exhausted. Cody had an air of humble confidence. He was organized and well-prepared. As corny as it may sound, Cody was the immovable stone that kept me from being swept away in that storm. And we won. No one thought I had a chance, including me. But Cody did.

CPT (O-3)
