My son was courtmartialed and was facing six charges. By the time he went to court, he was facing a single charge and was acquitted after a 50 minute deliberation. Attorney Carpenter is not only strategic, competent, and professional, he is honest. He cared about my son not just as a client but as a ...person. He communicated with us and also made sure all my son’s rights were protected. This was a tumultuous time for my son as well as for our family. Attorney Carpenter made sure we were informed and supported. Attorney Carpenter is trustworthy. He will tell you the good, the bad and the ugly. He will go above and beyond and exhaust every avenue necessary for the best possible defense. I was really impressed by his ability to navigate difficult and sensitive areas with caution, empathy and effectiveness. If you are on the fence or searching, stop here. Attorney Carpenter is an excellent attorney, who works with an experienced and awesome team of professionals. They do all that is necessary to ensure you or your child receive a superior defense. You will not find a more successful, experienced, or honorable attorney. I know all this to be true because my son has his life back and we have our son back all thanks to Attorney Carpenter, his awesome team and God!

I was falsely accused of sexual assault and was facing a court martial. When the charges were brought against me I had to wait approximately one month before speaking to the JAG that was assigned to me. After one phone call with the JAG I had a lack of confidence in their ability and experience in or...der to properly defend me. Immediately, I began researching attorneys and came across Mr. Stephen Carpenter Jr. In my opinion, Mr. Carpenter's work experience and professionalism was unparalleled to the JAG assigned to me. Mr. Carpenter was in contact with me throughout the year long investigation making sure that I was allowed to continue to do my job. He was willing to contact the command team if I was ever unable to go TDY because of the investigation. After a year, the case was dropped and never made it to trial because of the reputation that comes with hiring Mr. Carpenter. I would recommend this attorney.

19.5 years of service and my command team tried taking my E7 stripe. I higher Mr. Carpenter to represent me in the court martial. He was absolutely fantastic and his experience really shows. I had a full acquittal on all charges! His skills in the court room were worth every penny. I cannot sa...y enough good things about him. I am truly grateful!

Getting accused of not one, nor two, but three specifications of 120 is like a catastrophic eruption. I dealt with that well over a year ago. It was the worse day of my life talking to NCIS because I was naive thinking I knew what to do. I didn’t even ask for an attorney because I was like it’s my st...ory right? Wrong they used that against me. Let me tell you I went three times like an idiot. They did a ton of stuff that was completely not right and shouldn’t have happened legally. With that I found myself a few months later facing a court martial at the end of the year. I tried to desperately find an attorney who would not only just listen and be there for me but not just burn us for my money only. I guess God had something waiting for us because a buddy who was facing a court martial that couldn’t afford a lawyer pointed me to Stephen. Bottom line let me tell you. He CARES. He works hard and he is like a one man army. He fought relentlessly and showed such a phenomenal performance that raised so much doubt that it should’ve been an easy outcome. Unfortunately we fell short but I will say that I went home to my family with just a discharge. With them charges I should’ve faced confinement but it didn’t happen. If you find yourself in need of such a person. Stephen is the way to go. He’s like Matlock!!! Thank you so much Stephen for what you done for my family.

I was recommended by my wife to seek Mr. Carpenter as our attorney after receiving my DUI. Due to this misconduct, a board of inquiry was initiated. He worked hard, very personal, and did not waist anytime when we were together building our case. He definitely exceeded my expectation. When your de...aling with the utmost difficult situation with many odds against you, hiring an experienced attorney will give you a piece of mind even if it’s for a couple hours out of the day. With mixed emotions and so many block roads with a DUI case it’s hard to predict what the outcome maybe. This is why they say you get what you paid for and to be honest I believe whole heartedly it help save my career. With his experience and expertise, the court process seems more smooth sailing compared to the regular TDS appointed representative. Thank you Mr. Carpenter! My family and I appreciate you for your passion in fighting for service members, we cannot thank you enough for what you have done for us. Your passion and resilience is truly a gift from God! Highly recommended! He travels from Germany to the States which is a plus!!! God bless everyone that is currently reading this. We hope you get through these difficult times as we did with Mr. Stephen Carpenter’s help.
