Mr. Carpenter helped me with a business/civil matter recently. I called him in a panic and he helped me to remain calm by explaining the facts and setting a course to defend my case. I was really impressed with how responsive he was, and how he genuinely cared about what I was going through. His assi...stance resulted in the plaintiffs lawyer dropping her clients case.

I hired Mr. Carpenter to handle 2 assault charges levied against me. Both cases were ultimately dropped by NCIS due to lack of evidence and sent back to my command to determine whether or not misconduct had occurred. I probably hired Mr. Carpenter a little too soon in the process because I was neve...r formally charged, but I am very happy I did. Mr. Carpenter is a premier attorney and is very sought after for his expertise and I knew I may be in the fight of my life over this. He is extremely busy but always took care of me when I emailed and or left messages. Im glad I didnt have to see him in action in court, but I am sure it would have been fireworks. Mr. Carpenter was the peace of mind I needed. Thank you Mr. Carpenter!!!!!

A 19-year officer, I found myself the subject of an investigation into alleged misconduct and was relieved of command, facing career-ending accusations. Stephen negotiated a settlement which saved my career and my retirement. Although an area outside his area of normal military practice, it was obv...ious he took the time to research the particular law and regulations pertinent to my case. His fixed-fee system is great as it allows for open communication and discussion regarding strategy and issues without worrying about billable time. I would certainly use him again (although I hope I don't have that need again!) and recommend him to anyone facing adverse actions potentially affecting their career.
