This review is for anyone who is facing an ADMIN Separation board and is unsure of the next steps. I have 19 years of exemplary service in the U.S. Army and went through one of the most challenging situations possible. My leader, my Supervisor, my Boss a commissioned officer was creating a tox...ic work environment, and in retaliation of me going to my command and speaking on this, she filed a week later a harassment case against me. Despite the evidence submitted and my claims of innocence, I was given a GOMAR permanently filed, processed to the QMP board, and referred to an ADMIN Board for separation. No one spoke up for me all the way from my command to the General, everyone just saw harassment and signed off and pushed the packet. I was at a point of depression and anger. It wasn’t until I was told about someone who would fight and speak for me. Stephen Carpenter. This process waiting for the board took 2 years and I have been flagged, removed from the promotion list, security clearance in question, rated NFQ on this current board, denied future assignments and listed on the QMP board. This is not something I ever would have imagined after 19 years of doing everything I could to be a good leader. In the end with the evidence presented to the board and witness testimonies, the board convened and lasted almost 14 hours. In the end the board saw the truth and noted that there was “contradiction of evidence presented”, the person lied under oath and sworn statements, and this truly was not investigated properly by the I.O. I was retained by the board and given continued service in the U.S. Army. I am still contemplating ways to hold this commissioned officer accountable for her actions which affected my career and family. During the board Mr. Carpenter was amazing, it was almost like being in a movie, I never seen someone who took every detail personally and was truly fighting for me and my family. Despite Mr. Carpenter receiving calls from potential clients, he still made the time to treat my case with the care it needed. I don’t believe anyone else would have spent the time in detail to make this outcome the way it did. Mr. Carpenter made sure to stay in a hotel locally in the area to make sure he met with my witness and myself the days prior. Truly he all about making sure I had representation that would fight for me and my family rights. If you are facing an ADMIN Separation board or GOMOR or any injustice and you need someone to represent you, I promise you take the time to at least contact Mr. Carpenter he will not disappoint.

I was blindsided by a 15-6 and had to idea where to turn. Luckily I was referred to Mr. Carpenter by a colleague. I had reached out not expecting much but Mr. Carpenter called me back immediately, took the time to truly listen, and had already drafted a game plan for me. I have to tell you to plea...se trust the process. I had no idea where everything would go but he shocked me with his knowledge and ability to find the intricacies of the situation. My rebuttal was a work of art and expertly defended my side. He really cares about his clients and aims to ensure the army remains fair. I can't describe the feeling of relief when he personally called me to tell me everything was unfounded. Lastly, please don't think about the price. With the product and service I received, I would have paid 5x the price. The addage is true here, you really get what you pay for and having Mr. Carpenter on my side was completely worth it.

I was facing 3 charges of sexual assault and hiring Mr.Carpenter was definitely the game-changing decision. He's prepared for everything he made sure all our paperwork was squared away and submitted on time he met every deadline and exposed the government's weaknesses. When I felt hopeless and had a ...million questions he made time and answered them and he did so truthfully and bluntly which goes a really long way when you're in a bad situation like I was. If you're facing issues that may require a lawyer just do yourself the favor and hire him you won't regret it.

Mr. Carpenter was extremely helpful. He promptly took over all communication with the military JAG and provided excellent advice on the situation and how to proceed. He put together an extensive rebuttal to a 15-6 investigation that was thorough and definitely more aggressive than anything a milita...ry JAG would have done. He kept me informed during the whole process. The end result was essentially a local counseling statement and nothing more. I greatly appreciate his work and expertise.

If you're seeking military justice you need an Attorney that has a winning strategy; even if you think the odds are stacked against you. Such as the case with me who was facing an ADSEP with an Other than Honorable Discharge recommendation. Mr. Carpenter represented me at the ADSEP hearing, wrote a...n Appeal on my behalf which directly resulted in checkmating the governments evidence. This resulted in the Separating Authority overturning the ADSEP findings. So military justice will prevail if you utilize Mr. Carpenter and his staff's services. JT
