I would like everyone to know that is looking for a good and honest lawyer for military matters you dont need to go any further. Mr. Carpenter has worked on my husbands cause for a long time now and we finally are over it and its behind us now. He got the best outcome that was possible for this ca...se. My husband was looking at being kicked out with a very bad discharge but this man right here stopped that from happening and got it where my husband is still in the Army, which is a blessing itself considering this matter. Even though the case is over with he is still there for me answering my questions as I'm trying to protect my husband since he cant right now. He is a very intelligent man when it comes to military matters but that goes with his expertise as previously being in the military himself. I have nothing bad to say about him. He will always get back to you as soon as he is free. He was like a friend to my husband and had my husbands back. We came across Mr. Carpenter online and contacted him and he called us the same day he got the email and talked with my husband. My husband was like he is the one. The price you pay for his service is well worth it, it may seem high but when you are face with things that is out of your control you need the best lawyer there is and Mr. Carpenter is that. Thanks Steve for everything that you have done for my husband and everything that you are still doing for me. Keep up the fighting power you have.

I was facing serious trumped up charges from the government and didn't know where to turn. The government is going to come after you relentlessly so you need the experience that Mr. Carpenter has. The military preaches about holding it's members accountable but they seem to overlook that with their... Investigative Service and prosecution. Mr. Carpenter held the prosecution and investigators accountable and got the bogus charges dismissed. I don't believe this would have been the scenario had I not had Mr. Carpenter representing me. If you're ever in this situation, hopefully not, I would recommend hiring Mr. Carpenter. Having his experience on your side will help put you at ease during this trying and stressful time.

My son was facing a dishonorable discharge and was at his wits end. I am not a veteran and had no insight on how to assist him. It was clear to me that he needed legal representation. I spoke with several attorneys but none as knowledgeable in military law as Stephen Carpenter. The flat fee was small... compared to the lasting results his services delivered. Stephen expressed a sincere interest in my son and he showed a genuine concern for my son's military career. He was informative, responsive and efficient. His proactive measures saved my son's career. I highly recommend Stephen Carpenter for all military legal matters and would not hesitate to use him again should the need arise.

I found myself at the end of an 8 month 15-6 investigation. I had talked to quite a few lawyers, military included. I decided to go with Mr Carpenter, partly because he seemed no nonsense and hardball. Partly because the fee was flat rate. What I got was a lawyer that fought the fight for me. I ...never had to answered a single question. Mr Carpenter handled even the simplest of communication requests from the IO for me. And the investigation did not end my career as I feared and was told by other lawyers. I made some mistakes for sure, but Mr Carpenter empowered me to continue in the Army. Worth it for sure!!

Steven was able to successfully guide me through each step of the Army discharge review board process (most that I did not know existed until his consultation) with confidence and efficiency. He treated my case as if it was his only case and invested himself in the complex process deeper than I had i...magined. Only because of his assistance was I able to present my case the the Army review board and receive a reinstatement of rank and change in discharge characterization.
