Quick answer: Do not provide a phone passcode, identify evidence, or consent to a search without legal advice. Phone and digital evidence issues are highly fact-specific.

Phones often contain the case

Messages, photos, location data, search history, and app content may become the center of an investigation.

Consent matters

Do not consent to searches or seizures without legal advice.

Passcode issues are fact-specific

Whether the government can compel certain acts depends on the facts, authority used, and legal posture of the investigation.

Mr. Kamoroff keeps a deliberately small practice focused on GOMORs, Article 15/NJP responses, and investigations. Clients receive direct attorney access after representation begins.

Short suspense?

If your rebuttal, Article 15 election, or investigation response deadline is within 72 hours, call now.

A website form is useful, but urgent military deadlines require faster action. Call 1-86-MILITARY and also submit the consultation form so the basic facts are available.

Review before you respond

Need focused legal judgment before deciding what to do next?

An Urgent Military Case Assessment is a paid limited-scope review for Soldiers, NCOs, and Officers who already have paperwork, evidence, or a short suspense and need a practical assessment of risks, options, and recommended next steps.

More than a consultation. Less than full representation.

The assessment does not include drafting, command contact, law-enforcement contact, negotiation, appearance, submission of materials, or follow-on representation unless separately agreed in writing.

Do not treat a GOMOR or Article 15 like routine paperwork.

A weak response can follow you for years. The earlier you get focused help, the more time there is to analyze the evidence, develop the facts, and present the strongest possible rebuttal or response.
