Thank You Citizen Soldier!
Tom and his team were always present for our family. Our family was faced with many legal and emotional challenges and Tom was always at the other end of the phone with encouraging words and action plans. Citizen Soldier persisted even when we felt helpless and hopeless. He is a good man with a great team and we couldn't be more satisfied with the expertise we were provided.
Thank you for your service to our nation, our veteran community and to our family!

Thomas Roughneen and Associates went above and beyond to help me achieve the most desirable outcome I could have hoped for in facing the UCMJ Separation process. Their experience and professionalism was truly demonstrated in helping me navigate the lengthy and uncomfortable Process of Military separation. As a resident of Minnesota, it is truly amazing that I can say that Thomas Roughneen and Associates made such a significant impact on my life without any face to face correspondence. I highly recommend that any one in the military facing potential administrative or UCMJ action enlists the help

Thomas and his team really helped give me peace of mind while dealing with a legal issue and then ultimately a medical board in the Air Force. They responded the same day, and worked around my hours overseas. They were knowledgable about every step in the process and helped me with the evidence and letters I had to submit. I felt the outcome was as good as it could have been and would recommend them to anyone.

I am intimately familiar with the quality of work that Thomas Roughneen and his associates provide at Citizen Soldier Law. Citizen Soldier provides a highly technical and underserved area of law in military-disability claims, VA-related claims, and post-service corrections and upgrades to characterizations of service. In addition, he is an excellent defense counsel whom I have seen successfully defend a number of active and reserve military members and veterans. In a nutshell, if a military or criminal related issue is causing an injustice to a Service Member or Veteran, Thomas Roughneen is THE

Thomas Roughneen & Associates changed my life! The army decided they were going to med board me. Their first offer was a check and a pat on the back. If it wasn`t for Roughneen & Associates I wouldn't have the life I have today now I am at 90% and its all because they fought for me. Don't let the moldboard Personnel beat or scare you into signing anything without Mr Roughneen advice because its their job to cheat you.
