Reviews
"When your claims are constantly denied you need Citizen Soldier law to do what they do and get you what you deserve. They helped me and I can't thank Thomas and his staff enough for all they did for me and my family. I was fighting since 2005 they got it done."
"I have to say Thomas and his team were very profession with their work. They showed that they cared and fought tooth and nail for my case. They were honestly a huge help in my life, which also helped with my case dramatically because it affected my life. I would recommend them to any of my friends from the military or fellow service members that I meet."
"I found Citizen Soldier Law in an online search, Since my employment law case specifically involved an issue with military discharge, I felt confident that the high number of Military Veterans on staff at Citizen Soldier Law, made this firm especially qualified to handle my case, their adaptability to my specific needs, as well as their professionalism forged from their years of military training and experience makes Citizen Soldier Law the best option for anyone seeking help with a legal matter."
"I have had the privilege of working alongside Mr. Thomas Roughneen as a fellow attorney, and I can confidently attest to his exceptional skill and dedication. Although I was not one of his clients, I observed his interactions with clients daily and worked with him on numerous matters involving Soldier discipline and the correction of military records. As a senior Trial Defense Counsel in the National Guard, his understanding of military law and legal defense strategies was impressive. In both his military service and his private practice, Thomas has consistently demonstrated a commitment to his clients’ best interests. Money has never been his primary objective; he genuinely cares about Service Members and their rights. His professionalism, competence, and dedication make him stand out. If I were ever in trouble, there is no one else I would rather call and have represent me. Thomas Roughneen is truly a remarkable attorney who exemplifies the highest standards of legal practice and client care, “defending those who serve.”"
"Update: My case was successful thanks to the citizensoldier law team. If I had not hired them I would have surely been abused by a flawed system. Even after the case was over I was handled with dignity. I was returned any monies not used in the case within 30 days of the conclusion. I am now a DHS employee building my new chapter in life and working to resolve my injuries with the VA and tricare which they made possible by arguing facts and not feelings like the Army medical staff kept trying to do. It may be money out your pocket, but you will not regret hiring them. ~Fred Al-Sharif I retainted Citizen Soldier Law May of this year. I have never been so grateful for what the team has done for my family and I. The MEB should be placed under the jail for what they attempted to do to me. Mr. Roughneen, staff, and competent medical associates stopped it. I never knew there was a Mike Tyson of lawyers until I searched up this firm. Heavy hitters that made a lot of people do what was fair and equitable. Because of them, I will have the care I need to continue life even as an injured veteran. I was even given transition advice by Mr. Roughneen displaying the humanity in him. If you need justice and a legal team that will step up on your behalf, hire them. Mr. Rougheen made sure my command was held accountable for their negligent commanders' statements. As a model soldier, my commander could only write one sentence on my behalf. The team fixed that which triggered requirements to notify proper channels of the wrongful behavior committed. Being able to put this behind me is a great feeling. I suffered for 10 months while IDES personnel did everything within their power to ignore Citizensoldier Law and medical expert analysis. The best investment you can make is in your future. Call citizensoldier law to avoid making fatal mistakes."
