I consulted Mr. Burnham about a legal problem. Thankfully it didn’t go to trial, but the consultation / advice I received from Mr. Burnham was first rate. He is a skillfully attorney who is extremely knowledgeable, fair and ethical. I would recommend him without hesitation.

I have used Charles Burnham on two separate occasions and could not speak more highly of him. Neither were major cases, but his knowledge and commitment were indispensable in winning both of my cases. I strongly recommend him.

You’ve never met any other attorney with the amount of fight, care, and knowledge that Carol has. I cannot even put into words how much Carol can and will do for you. Her ability to navigate both the military and civilian justice system has been tremendous in my case. I’ve been working with Carol for almost a year now. She’s kept things moving along while the other side stalls and is trying to make you give up. So transparent, honest, unbelievably on top of things. I’m someone who would tell you pros and cons of working with someone. I’ve had five different attorneys. They all had their ups and downs. I have absolutely nothing bad or off to say about Carol or her team. Beyond grateful this person exists. I’ve literally put my life in this person’s hands. You will not regret working with Carol. A definite cut above all others. Highly, highly recommended. She’s so responsive too. Blown away by this experience in the best kind of way!!!!

Phil represented me in a BOI that concluded on 09 May 2025. The results were 3-0 no misconduct and 3-0 retain. Full vindication. I am now awaiting a promotion that has been held for three years and will hire Phil again, if required, to secure that promotion and back pay. Phil never kept me wai ting on answers to my questions. He is brilliant in both preparation and performance. You cannot beat his remarkable experience, knowledge, and results. I have no complaints and would highly recommend him to represent you. In a military pervaded with confirmation bias, we need more Phil Cave's to help fight the war on warriors. Hire Phil now, and work with him to obtain your victory.

Last year, I came under suspicion of a couple of changes that would end my career and end any of my chances of getting hired as a civil servant. That was something I never thought was going to happen during my military career. I was devastated and didn't know what to do; that's when I reach out to Mr. Cave. He was one of the best-recommended defense lawyers in the National Captial Region. Mr. Philip Cave had helped me get through with the investigation and complete drop of suspicion and charges. I can tell you that he possesses extensive experience on any charges involving security clearance, and he will always give you frank assessments based on his experience. In addition, he also worked with Mr. Nathen Greenburg, who has experience with Army litigations. His team continuously updated me on my expectations and provided sound legal advice on the subject matter. Thus, I was able to protect myself throughout the process. Mr. Cave and Mr. Nathen Greenburg reassured me that I always had a team of experts support me. If you are under suspicion or charged for any security-related matter, you must call Mr. Cave. Mr. Cave and his team will do their best to get you through your difficult time.

As a military male, we know that Article 120's are not infallible. That often in the military they are persuaded by political influence and sometimes are made up. I found myself in a similar situation. Phillip came in on the attack and immediately started attacking the prosecution's handling of th e investigation, and applied for the proper appeals. I went to court and was given a not guilty verdict. I would like to say truth persevered. However, unfortunately, we live in a world where the truth is subjective, especially in the military. Even with the truth on your side, you will need a lawyer like Phillip to attack your case and give you the justice you deserve.

Mr. Cave helped me with an IG complaint, which could have impacted my active duty career. He provided legal advice and assisted me with the interview questions. Mr. Cave was extremely patient (we worked on the questions for hours), flexible, responsive, meticulous and thorough. The outcome of the inv estigation was positive (not substantiated). I am thankful for his service.
