Law Office of Peter Kageleiry Jr.

I made the best decision by calling Jocelyn. I was involved in a drug case that lasted over a year. Jocelyn made this process a hundred times easier for me she was professional at all times and beyond knowledgeable. I knew of over 40 people involved in the same case as myself and after Jocelyn's hard work and determination I received no brig time and a general under honorable conditions. Everyone else I know of that was involved not only did brig time, they also received bad conduct discharge. I recommend Jocelyn to all branches of service for any trouble you might be going through, you will not regret having Jocelyn represent you.

They were somewhat professional due to their lack of communication and handling of my situation. I had to call in order to make sure my situation was being communicated up to the military side of the house. The paralegal would've forgotten a deadline if it wasn't for the fact that I called a few days prior to it. I called after everything had been submitted and was informed to wait about 2-3 weeks for the results to come back. The paralegal informed me that she'd talk to Jocelyn about my case and they never got back to me.nnI should've just went with TDS.

Ms. Stewart is a superb lawyer that will fight tooth an nail for you until the end. She does a great job of tracking her work and keeping you updated. 5/5 stars and would highly reccomend. Very skilled and knowlegeable. if you are looking for a lawyer that is passionate about what they do, then Jocelyn C. Stewart is the one for you.

Calling Jocelyn was the second best thing I did after being ambushed by a CID agent, the first thing being smart enough to refuse to speak with them at all. She quickly responded to an afterhours cell phone call and due to her working knowledge and experience in the field, was able to explain to me the most likely circumstances surrounding my situation. The process of being the subject of an investigation and the subsequent actions WILL mean that A. you will get no support from your COC or other elements of the US Army, and B. you WILL feel absolutely alone during the duration u2013 no matter the outcome. Having Jocelyn in my corner was my most valuable asset to answer my many questions, communicate with L.E. and others involved on my behalf, and she was absolutely the deciding factor in my one hundred percent positive outcome. My biggest take away from the entire experience is that the military's legal system is definitely not set up for the accused to have any support, this means you will need to get your own - and you will need to do it quick!

I hired Ms. Stewart to represent me during a separation board. I had received an Article 15 for wrongful use that I didn't commit, and since I didn't meet the seven criteria for a waiver, my commander served me discharge paperwork. Originally the USAF ADC represented me, but after the first defense counsel PCS'd and the second one made a comment "If our luck holds out we will win" I decided to seek civilian counsel. Ms. Stewart was highly recommended and respected. I gave her a call and scheduled a meeting to see what she was all about. My first impression was that she was very professional and extremely passionate about what she does. This was the same type of passion I found in myself and I decided to hire her.nnI had found myself in a tight spot when I had woken up with memory loss and vague recollection of events from the day prior. What I knew for sure was that I had two drinks before everything went foggy. The next day I started to feel ill and went to the military hospital. They drew blood, urine, and came to the conclusion that I was dehydrated and sent me home on 24hr quarters. I continued to feel different and decided to seek a second opinion from a civilian hospital. By this point I though I might have been drugged and asked the civilian hospital to run more extensive testing. The hospital told me that they found a substance in my system. I immediately notified my chain of command that then called OSI. I found myself under investigation for wrongful use. After the investigation was complete, I received an Article 15, demoted and issued separation paperwork. The thing was they never did a thorough investigation. All they had was a failed UA, which I had notified my chain of command to begin with. The first thing that Ms. Stewart did was to conduct an investigation into the allegation against me.nnDuring the separation board all the evidence that we had acquired during our investigation was presented to the board members. Ms. Stewart proved to be the most knowledgeable in the room and repeatedly took control of the courtroom. She picked apart everything the government was throwing at me, even using the government's witnesses as witnesses for our defense. In the end, the board members found that there was no finding for discharge and that I did not commit the offense brought against me in the Article 15. I will always be grateful for the tenacity of Ms. Stewart and how she honorably represented me. She had never lost faith in me, and I could never repay her. My only regret is that I didn't hire her sooner. Anyone who finds themselves in a jam and has the full weight of the government coming down on them would be a fool to not hire Ms. Stewart.
