Grade Determination Board

Grade determination boards – particularly for service members preparing to retire, almost any record of substantiated misconduct in your personnel file will be reviewed by a grade determination board, which will decide if you deserve to retire at the grade you currently hold. Frequently, those with a history of substantiated misconduct are administratively reduced to a lower rank, resulting in a lower retirement pension. Over time, this loss can add up to hundreds of thousands of dollars.

I can’t thank Attorney Sheldon enough for his work on my case in obtaining my security clearance. I was facing an administrative discharge board due to the security issue. He was able to get another review of the facts and . . . I was granted a clearance.

Now all those sleepless nights, the worries, and stress are gone. Again THANK YOU from my wife and 3 daughters.
