Sexual Harassment allegation unfounded

I recently went under a 15-6 investigation for Sexual Harassment and by the grace of God and Stephen, the allegation went unfounded. Stephen's professionalism, intelligence, brilliance in educating me on UCMJ regulations, and just an overall incredibly kind human being is just incredible!! When I fe...lt like there was no hope, and was grieving, not only did he take the time to listen, and assure me that everything will be ok, but he answered every question I had honestly and extremely straight forward. I cannot stress how incredible of an attorney Stephen is and someone you will definitely want to fight for you in your corner. I am grateful every day that Stephen was in my corner and will forever be in his debt.

I was recommended by a co-worker to use Mr. Carpenter as an attorney, and I am glad because Mr. Carpenter fought for me. With his help, I received the proper defense, and it put the command on their heels because of their arrogance. This attitude in they military of guilty until you can prove o...therwise. The command is allowing Company commanders to make decisions on peoples careers. These company commander don't have any qualifications on be an arbitrators of the law. Many of the company commanders don't any legal training, and are used the judge and jury for soldiers. I am a prior law enforcement officer. I know my constitutional rights, and I protected myself as much as I could. When I saw that command, is just looking for the path of least resistance. I had no choice but to hire an attorney. I would like to see an independent body that would be over the command that were legal trained to discipline infractions committed be soldiers. I don't believe the military should be policing itself with incompetent officers with no legal training. I have not had any legal action until now almost 20 year in my career. I have served honorably, and have been fighting this countries wars, I have made many sacrifices for me country, and I have the scars to prove it. If it was not for Mr. Carpenter, I would have been railroaded by the the command, and would have been discard by the military that I loved serving. We are asked to give everything to our careers, and to be a selfless servant. When someone makes an allegation against me. I have to fight like hell to prove the lack of evidence and total disregard for my character and hiring an attorney. I don't regret hiring Mr. Carpenter one bit, but we should not have to hire attorney. Mr. Carpenter saved my career, and I am very grateful. Mr. Carpenter showed me the respect I have earned, and represented me like I wanted to represented. It was not free, but thank you so much for everything, your fee was worth it to me. I would recommend Mr. Carpenter to anyone facing and any legal action in a UCMJ situation. I recommend Mr. Carpenter wholeheartedly , he is a very honorable and competent attorney.

Guided me through one of the toughest times in my life

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.

Glad I could help. Getting the call from the SJA with the "good news" made the outcome even sweeter.

Strongly Recommend Stephen Carpenter Jr.

I got in touch with Stephen Carpenter Jr. thru my friend who also hired him for his legal issues. I hired him immediately after an initial consultation with him over the phone because I sensed that he has profound professional knowledge and experiences. He guided me to draft legal documents and appea...l my case to the higher headquarters. Thanks to his legal consultations and support, I can continue to serve. Thanks Stephen!
