The True Cost of a GOMOR Rebuttal: Time, Expertise, and Winning Results

The True Cost of a GOMOR Rebuttal: Time, Expertise, and Winning Results

Let’s face it: a well crafted, custom GOMOR rebuttal isn’t cheap. But when your career is on the line, you have to ask yourself—what’s the cost of not investing in the right defense?

Why Flat Rates Matter

At my firm, we use flat rates for GOMOR rebuttals because, let’s face it, this isn’t work you can rush or cut corners on.

Hourly billing?

That’s a disaster waiting to happen. Halfway through, you’re out of funds, and now what? Do I hand over an unfinished rebuttal and say, ‘Good luck’? - - Not happening.

Flat rates mean we can focus 100% on the case, no distractions, no interruptions. It lets us dig in, interview everyone we need to, gather all the evidence, and build the best damn rebuttal we can. It’s about committing to the result—because when your career is on the line, halfway isn’t good enough.

This isn’t about padding hours or cutting corners. It’s about ensuring that, once we start your case, we see it through to the end—no surprises, no running out of funds halfway through. It’s a commitment to giving you the best possible chance to save your career.

What Goes Into a Winning Rebuttal

People often ask why a GOMOR rebuttal costs what it does. The answer is simple: the stakes are too high for anything less than excellence. Here’s what you’re paying for:

  • Time and Expertise: Every rebuttal starts with a deep dive into your case. We review the evidence, conduct interviews, and gather sworn statements. Each detail matters, because credibility is everything.
  • A Compelling Narrative: A GOMOR rebuttal isn’t just a legal document; it’s a story. We craft a narrative that not only addresses the allegations but also showcases who you are as a soldier and a person.
  • Rock-Solid Evidence: From text messages to sworn statements, every claim we make is backed by proof. If the Commanding General wants to validate a fact, they’ll find the evidence right there in the rebuttal.

The Stakes Couldn’t Be Higher

Imagine this: you’ve served for 15 years. You’re a Sergeant First Class with a clean record—until now. Suddenly, you’re handed a GOMOR for sexual harassment or BAH fraud. If it’s permanently filed, your career is over.

No promotions.

No retirement.

And worse, you’re looking at administrative separation.

A general discharge under honorable conditions might not sound terrible, but it’s not an honorable discharge. It’s a permanent mark on your record. And let’s be honest—good luck explaining that to future employers. Dream of hitting 20 years - not anymore.

Why You Can’t Do It Alone

Some Soldiers try to go it alone. Others rely on free resources like Trial Defense Services (TDS). Here’s the problem: TDS doesn’t have the bandwidth to give every case the attention it deserves. They rely on templates, and templates don’t win. If you don’t know how to craft a rebuttal, gather evidence, and present a case that resonates with a Commanding General, you’re setting yourself up to fail.

When you hire us, you’re not just paying for a document. You’re paying for experience, strategy, and a proven track record of success. You’re paying for a team that knows what it takes to win.

The Bottom Line

Yes, a GOMOR rebuttal is a financial investment. But think about what’s at stake. Your career. Your reputation. Your future. Can you really afford to cut corners?

If you’re facing a GOMOR, don’t take chances. Invest in a defense that gives you the best shot at saving your career.

Because when the clock is ticking, and you’ve got seven days to respond, you need more than just good intentions—you need a team that knows how to win.

This is a well-crafted article, Tim, and I truly appreciate the hard work you put into it. I have a minor suggestion that could improve clarity for some readers: while many are familiar with the acronym "General Officer Memorandum of Reprimand (GOMOR)," it might be beneficial to provide a definition for those who may not be as acquainted with it. Overall, fantastic job!
