Denial entry into the military.

When dealing with lawyers, you want to deal with someone personable, efficient and communicative - especially if you are seeking help with a case that is time-sensitive. I understand that no lawyer can guarantee a favorable outcome in any case, but one thing they can do from day one is to be professi...onal, honest, and straightforward about their hard work on their client’s behalf. I paid Mr. Carpenter’s legal fees in full on March 13th, 2022, and did everything he asked of me for him to discover the details of my case. This case simply dealt with a wrongful denial to enlistment in the U.S. Military by an incompetent recruiter. Unfortunately, it took him more than three and a half months to file my case. For the first two months, when I inquired about my case or asked for a simple update, his usual response was “I am in court martial” or “I am outside of the country.” Although this was not my problem, I felt no progress was being made on my time-sensitive case.

In a nutshell, this reviewer inexplicably demanded a "full refund" after receiving an adverse AFBCMR decision. The contract clearly set out the terms of representation, and the appeal was timely submitted. The reviewer even expressed gratitude for our appeal, he only changed his mind after its denial.
