I was in a pretty bad situation where the best outcome at the time was just being separated from the Military. Everyone in my company acted like it would blow over in a few weeks, but with all the talk of the Military downsizing, I recognized that I needed the best help possible. After hearing confl...icting information from Company higher ups for over 2 months, CID continuously stating they were wrapping up their investigation, and TDS informing me all their lawyers were all back in the states, I contacted Mr. Carpenter. Stephen Carpenter was professional, straight to the point, and extremely knowledgeable about all concepts of Military Law. He kept me informed about everything as he got a hit on it, and was good about back briefing my family in regard to legal technicalities about my case, like ascertaining sworn/verbal statements, things of that nature. Case came back about another 2 months later as Unfounded. I truly feel that without Mr. Carpenter's expertise and sound handling of my life and career, I'd have probably been under investigation another year later. Even NCOs from other companies were shocked to hear my case was over with in 4 months time, as the subject matter of the case is not something that ends quickly. They said I was lucky, I said nope, just had the best lawyer available. Thank you for your service, sir. ;)

I was under investigation for multiple articles for 10 months. I hired Mr. Carpenter during the beginning of my investigation. From day one working with him he kept in contact and kept me informed on any new break in my case. Thanks to the help of him keeping the process moving I was then informed th...at the government would not further investigate and I was able to discharge honorably and continue on with my journey in life. I highly recommend Mr. Carpenter to anyone needing help in military law. I can't thank you enough Mr. Carpenter.

Stephen Carpenter was extremely helpful in negotiating my return to military authorities after my period of unauthorized absence. Despite working many cases at the time he always had the information I requested the same day if possible. He was unbiased and represented me to the best of his abilities ...despite his personal beliefs. In my opinion he avhieved the best possible outcome give my circumstances. I woud definitely reccomend him to anyone who needed counseling concerning the UCMJ

Mr Carpenter is a no-nonsense, straight forward guy!!!. Words cannot express the gratitude I have for him. His knowledge of the military law and practices of such were amazing but it was his patience, understanding, compassion and passion that I treasured. He took the time to understand me, my case a...nd went the extra mile to make sure he was doing everything possible to represent me in the best way he could. His calm demeanor was much appreciated and needed most of the times. I can honestly say because of him I can continue with my career in the military. He continues to be helpful any time I have questions I am proud to recommend him to anyone and everyone. My daughter thanks you for saving her mommy’s career…. Note: For the military personnel, I highly recommend him. He is on point...

Mr. Carpenter was very helpful with my case. I was facing some serious charges and the effective end of my military career. Mr Carpenter helped show my chain of command that this was not the case they thought it was and helped me to receive an end result of being able to stay in the military. The on...ly thing I can fault him on was he was a little slow in replying to my emails occasionally, but that was minimal and did not affect the case whatsoever. His knowledge of military law and the military justice system was very beneficial and I would reccomend his services to anyone who is facing legal action in the military. He helped save my career.
