Mr. Carpenter superb expertise in military law and his firm determination in the pursuit of equal justice was awesome. I retained Mr. Carpenter to represent my son's sexual assault and DUI cases with the Army. The local police investigated the sexual assault case and turn it over to the prosecuto...r. The prosecutor decided not to prosecute the case due to a lack of evidence that a crime was committed. They turn the case over to the Army. Once the Army review the case they decided to prosecute. My son was facing dismal from the service and imprisonment At his trial, Mr. Carpenter was able to prove that the Army had no witness or evidence to convict my son and the case was dismissed. Mr. Carpenter tremendous research and tireless effort in the DUI case resulted in a rescindable of my son dismissal from the service with a General discharge to him being reinstated to active duty in the Army. Mr. Carpenter kept me informed and up to date on all issues pertaining to my son case. I would recommend Mr. Carpenter to any military member as he will pursue all avenues for the very best result.

I hired Stephen Carpenter to represent me at a Summary Court-Martial. After meeting with several other military law attorney's I made the clear decision to hire him. He had that fighting fire others were lacking and you could tell he went in with a victory in mind. I'm glad I chose him, as he had all... charges dropped against me. He was very professional towards myself and my family throughout the trial. I would definitely recommend him to anyone.

Beginning of this year I came under investigation for an EO complaint. This complaint was blown out of proportion and became a big deal for my Brigade. They decided to push UCMJ against me for something that I did not do. I demanded a trial by court martial because it was wrong of what my chain of co...mmand decided to do. After months of waiting for a court martial, I decided that I needed to hire a lawyer to help me with my case. I've searched and talked to many lawyers over the phone. But most of the lawyers I talked to did not sound confident with my case when I explained it to them. The only one that really stood out to me was Stephen Carpenter. I felt the confidence he had when I spoke to him over the phone. He even went out of his way to meet with me for a initial consultation. When I met with Stephen Carpenter for the first time. He had fire in him and I can just tell that he was the man to help me with my case. So I decided to hire him. Having him on my side really lifted a lot of weight off my shoulders. Stephen is very professional and is a hard worker. He and his team dedicated a lot of time to my case and did a lot of research weeks before my court martial date. On the day of the court martial Stephen was amazing to watch. I have never seen anything like this before. He was so focused and the way he argued my case was truly amazing. I was very impressed. You can definitely tell that Stephen has a passion in what he does. Especially with helping military personnel. I was found guilty on one of the articles they charged me with. And the outcome of the court didn't fully go the way Stephen and I wanted it. We both weren't happy. But it was not over. Stephen said "I AM NOT DONE WORKING". Stephen contacted me and informed me that it would be a good idea for us to put in a appeal. I trusted his word and so he did. Stephen and his team put a appeal together that made my Brigade dismiss all charges against me. I was found not guilty of all charges! Because of Stephen and his team I am now free of all legal issues. I would definitely recommend Stephen Carpenter to anyone in military that needs legal advise. He knows the military law and knows what he is doing. Hiring him was the best decision I have ever made.

I was brought before a BOI because of a GOMAR that was discovered during the CW3 promotion board. After much research, I brought in Steve and he exceeded all of my expectations. I was blown away with his attention to detail and compelling arguments. It was truly an honor to watch this guy work. I'm ...happy to report that I was unanimously retained and was able be on the next promotion board. Because I'm a MEDEVAC pilot, Steve dug down into the history of Dustoff and learned about what we do, just so he was as prepared as possible. I give Steve my highest possible recommendation. Hiring him was the the best decision I've ever made (aside from marrying my wife).

Very direct and bold in his representation on my behalf. Savvy, persistent, and unwilling to allow my leadership to screw me over. Mr Carpenter handled an assault case that resulted in retaliation, reprisal, and alienation by my entire chain of command after I reported inappropriate touching of my b...ody by a superior officer. The officer was ultimately removed from command and the retaliation stopped.
