I hired Mr. Carpenter to represent me at my Board of Inquiry (BOI). Mr. Carpenter was patient and dedicated to representing me at this complicated hearing. The case was unique and needed someone skilled in military law and psychology. He aggressively responded to the false allegations against me and ...was determined to restore my character and credibility. As a man of faith, my attorney needed to understand my faith and the position I held in the military. Mr. Carpenter was God-sent and needed at my BOI. I was hesitant about hiring an attorney, but with the culture of the military today, it is a necessity to hire someone outside of the influence of the military. I won my case with the help of God and the expertise of Mr. Carpenter.

Mr. Carpenter was professional, polite and relentless. I dealt directly with he and his staff in what appeared to be my best outcome given the government's completely disorganized GOMOR process with 51% preponderance being a thing of thr past. Call Stephen the second an issue arises and exercise your... 5th amendment right. Thanks for a great outcome Mr. Carpenter.

Mr. Carpenter is a dependable and reliable lawyer. He is a top professional that listens to his clients concerns and addresses their issues with a strategic approach in which the Military will respond. He got Results, Responses, and Feedback that I could have never gotten without his attention to det...ail and persistence as a lawyer. I was retained after facing a Qmp for over a 3 year process! I recommend Mr. Carpenter to anyone who needs a lawyer in the Military to call him ASAP.

Stephen is an incredible lawyer! His expertise, knowledge of the military justice system, and ability to craft a persuasive written arugment and strategy is exactly what I needed to get a permanently filed GOMOR transferred from my performance file to my restricted folder. Without his help, I would h...ave never been able to successfully get my career back on track. Retaining and hiring Stephen as my lawyer throughout this process has been the smartest career decision I have ever made. He is a consummate professional and can be counted on to address your military justice concerns.

I found myself in a situation that I wish no one ever has to go through. I was accused of a horrendous crime, sexual abuse of a child, under Article 120. I knew quickly that I needed to protect myself and my innocence. I thorough searched for the best lawyers that could defend my innocence, becaus...e it today's Army, you are guilty until you are proven innocent. I found Mr. Carpenter who is highly reputable throughout the military law community. Mr. Carpenter is the top ranked lawyer on Avvo for a reason. Mr. Carpenter made me feel like I was part of his family, He never gave me any guarantees to a victory, but he did promise he would fight for me until the very end. No matter the time of day, Mr. Carpenter was always readily available for any concerns I may have. Mr. Carpenter truly cares for his clients, and his work ethic to fight for their innocence shows. CID couldn't find any evidence to support the nefarious accusation that was levied against me. Due to the lack of evidence they couldn't go forward with a court martial. As we all know how the Army operates, you're guilty until you're proven innocent. Certain people within my chain of command refused to let the case go and demanded I receive a GOMOR. A GOMOR is a career killer for anyone, and the burden of proof to issue a GOMOR is far less than of a court martial. A GOMOR was issued to me and it was recommended to the CG that I receive a permanent filing which would follow me throughout my career, and I would be automatically up for a separation board. I started to panic and stressing out. Mr. Carpenter was by my side every step of the way, reassuring me that he will fight for my innocence until the end. Mr. Carpenter made me feel more at ease throughout this entire process and made my stress levels drastically lower knowing he was fighting for me when no one else would. Mr. Carpenter spent countless hours drafting a power rebuttal for my GOMOR. The end product that Mr. Carpenter produced was so powerful and overwhelming with evidence to show the government didn't do their due diligence and there was ZERO evidence to support their claim against me. Due to the powerful rebuttal written by Mr. Carpenter, the Commanding General decided to destroy the GOMOR (shred it), and I was once again a free man. I am now able to continue on with my career and receive my retirement all because of the hard work and dedication from Mr. Carpenter. There is no other lawyer in the world I want on my side except for Mr. Carpenter. If you're in a situation, fight for you innocence! Don't give up! Hire Mr. Carpenter, because he will fight with you until the very end. You get what you pay for, and every penny spent on retaining Mr. Carpenter was well worth it. He truly saved me, my career could have been over, and I could have possibly went to prison. I am now a free man and I can continue on with my life with my children all because of Mr. Carpenter. HE IS WORTH EVERY PENNY. Thank you for everything Mr. Carpenter. I can't thank you enough. You saved my life. I owe you a beer my friend. You will forever be a friend and part of my family.
