Mr. Kornacki recently worked closely with a retired Soldier who experienced difficulty in his DoD civilian employment. The client’s security clearance was in jeopardy and he was brought back to the U.S. on a leave of absence. His career in jeopardy the client worked with Mr. Kornacki to have the adverse security clearance action reversed and he has retained his DoD civilian job.
Mr. Kornacki recently worked closely with an E-6 pending Article 15, in preparing a presentation. Regrettably the commander found misconduct and punishment was imposed. That did not stop Mr. Kornacki or the client. An appeal was submitted. As a result of the appeal, the commanding general decided to hold a personal hearing with the client to discuss the case and the appeal. As a result of that personal appearance the Article 15 was set-aside and a written nonpunitive warning given. Ultimately a successful outcome through persistence.
From a client: (Alleged drug possession. Drugs found in search for a knife used in the stabbing of a roommate. Result, counseling and loss of award.)
[T]his result was even better than I expected. I really appreciate you working on my case[.]
