Mr. Stephen Carpenter is by far outstanding and experience military defense attorney available. Before meeting him my wife and I were so stressed out for my case. I was lucky to contact him and happy to make the right decision to have him work for my case. He spent numerous time to communicate with m...e and my JAG attorney for clearly understanding of my case and diligently contacted all the key witnesses I recommended towards my case. The most impressive experience I had with him was Mr. Carpenter spent more than 3 hours to listen to my stories with my military attorney in the beginning whereas most military defense lawyers only spent 30 to 60 minutes according to other military friends who went through the similar problems. He continued to communicate with me via texting and email so distance did not matter to me, which made me skeptical at first. He provided me legal guidance throughout the investigation and kindly walked me through what needs to be done and even coached me how to write a legal document for me to successfully present it to GO, which was a great strategy. I was very emotional after reading his rebuttal statements because he amazingly captured all the keys points I wanted to deliver, which helped me have unswerving trust and confidence in his performance. A month later the result came back in my favor, and all the proposed adverse findings initially imposed on me were disapproved, and the case was dismissed without any blemish in my 19 year-long military career. Do not hesitate to contact him if you are facing any legal problems in the military services. He will get you out of trouble and get you and your family back to a normal life. Thanks Stephen!

Call Mr. Stephen Carpenter first, before you make any kind of official statement. He is, by far, the most outstanding military defense lawyer one could ask for.

Stephen was able to successfully deliver all the right documentation to attain a favorable outcome. You will receive years of experience and individual attention through the highs and lows of your case. It can be a long wait to work through the process. Remain resilient, know that with Stephen in your corner you can have peace of mind. Do not hesitate by sitting on the fence, make the choice to get your career and life back on the rails. You can always trust that Mr. Carpenter is diligently working with your best interest in mind. The decision to hire Stephen Carpenter is the right answer.

Simply put, regain control over what happens to you. -Thanks Stephen

My only regret is having made statements on the record without calling Mr. Carpenter first. He is, hands down, the best military defense lawyer available. For my entire career, I was a stellar officer until my misstep. I had very little experience with the system from this side, and lots of questi...ons. From our initial consultation to conclusion of proceedings, he was dedicated to finding the best outcome for me and my family. Even after my case took an unusual procedural turn, he was able to successfully navigate the baffling circumstances and work with the prosecution and my military defense to deliver a very favorable outcome. He is extremely busy and working several cases at a time, but that does not mean he isn’t tirelessly communicating and coordinating. If you want an instant response to an email, you won’t get that. You will, however receive years of experience and individual attention through the highs and lows of your case. As anyone who has been through the process will attest, it can sometimes be a waiting game, and usually in your favor. You can trust that Mr. Carpenter is diligently working behind the scenes with your best interest in mind. The decision to hire Mr. Carpenter was truly a blessing for my family and career.

As an Army Officer facing a separation due to a DUI charge I was very overwhelmed with my path forward. Mr. Carpenter helped me understand the military separation process and gave me highly specific advice following the CG’s decision to file a permanent GOMOR and recommendation to separate. Mr. Carpe...nter not only made incredible strides in a fight that ended with the Secretary of the Army deciding to retain me, he worked with my civilian lawyers directly to ensure that charges were lessened in the civilian courts. As a direct result of his continued efforts, and continued communication as he operated across the globe, I am now on track to both promote and once again I am back to leading Soldiers.

Stephen is a great lawyer. There is a reason he is so busy - he is the lawyer you want on your side. The quality of the written rebuttal to my GOMOR initiation was noted to me by my BN leadership and undoubtedly contributed to the local filing. He boils down situations in clear and precise language, ...in a way that a commander can best understand. I would recommend Stephen to any close friend or Soldier.
