This attorney provided aggressive, accurate, sensitive defense. His knowledge of the military system enabled him to provide detailed, easy to understand advice and to keep us informed of what we might expect at each step. There is nothing more painful than being devoted to the military and to the U...nited States, and to end up being taken to court by them, and made to look like a traitor, or a criminal. This attorney understood the pain, and helped keep us focused on our end goals as the trial proceeded. He was loyal, focussed, and unwavering. I only wish that I could have fed him better ... but those days were so long!

Attorney Stephen Carpenter had to deal with me by long distance since I live in Georgia. He never failed to keep me informed of what needed to be done nor did he fail to follow through with anything we discussed. His knowledge of military law and how to get the most for his clients proved to be not...hing short of miraculous. In our attempt at fairness, we consider that we got more than we possibly could have expected. Attorney Carpenter's representation on our behalf proved to be well worth the financial cost--when you are thinking of the future of a grandchild. We believe that he dealt with us in a manner that restored the honor we felt in serving our country. I deeply respect his expertise, and I am humbled by the results. Thanks again. Mary

Our entire family is so thankful that my son, Navy Sailor, was able to have Mr. Carpenter represent him at a Navy hearing. Mr. Carpenter was not given much time at all to resolve my son's legal problem and save his career, but he jumped right in and did save his career. He proved to be very knowled...geable with military law, and knew what to do and who to contact. My son was way over his head and didn't know how to begin to resolve his situation, and didn't really realize how a negative outcome would affect his life. Mr. Carpenter knew and took control, which is what my son needed. Mr. Carpenter kept my son and his family completely informed. He represented my son in a very professional manner and it was nice to know that he believed in my son 100%. My son was very impressed with him and stated that Mr. Carpenter genuinely cared about him personally. I cannot say enough positive things about Mr. Carpenter, but as a mother, I knew my son was in good hands, and this took a lot of the pressure off. He gives a free 15-minute consultation, which is worth gold. He was the only lawyer that I spoke to that we felt confident with. After the hearing, I was told that the Navy Officers were impressed with him as well. If you need legal help in the military, you will not go wrong with Mr. Carpenter.

Mr. Carpenter recently represented my son in his military court martial. He was professional, courteous and kept us well informed. After the trial Mr. Carpenter went out of his way to help us arrange visitation and squelch some media misinformation. Mr. Carpenter is highly regarded in the military ...legal community which was evident by his knowledge of how the system works and all the key players. Most importantly, he was invested in finding the best possible outcome, which, in this case allowed our boy to stay in the military and continue his career. We were grateful to have Mr. Carpenter on our team.
