William C. Meili, Attorney at Law
Focusing on Military Law

Your Attorney For Military Law


Bill Meili's approach is to see his clients through whatever difficulty they're facing... thoroughly, wisely and compassionately. His goal, in the military administrative law arena, is to preserve and protect careers, and to help uniformed members - active and Reserve - who wish to complete their military service through an Unqualified Resignation (UQR).

The Meili military law firm uses the art and craft of negotiation, a well-developed and seasoned skill in communication and advocacy, and a detailed knowledge of the facts, law, regulations, and a client's needs to obtain a favorable result in any given case. Bill's primary focus is now on Show Cause/BOI (Board of Inquiry) and UQR (Unqualified Resignation) cases - helping service men and women to save and prolong their careers, or exit service honorably through unqualified resignation. Read about recent cases and current issues facing service members.
