I retained Stephen as my attorney for a BOI due to three minor alcohol related incidents in my past. He worked with me even before I was officially notified to help me in the process leading up. Once officially notified, he aggressively worked my case, worked with my character witnesses and worked a ...strategy we would take. Additionally, he worked with my assigned defense counsel setting me up for success. During the BOI, he presented my case in a very positive way and would quickly counter the government’s witness and evidence against me. He was able to adjust our strategy throughout the afternoon to continue convincing the board of my progress and my time in the military and concluded with a very strong and direct closing statement that ultimately resulted in me being retained with a 3-0 vote. I can’t thank Stephen enough for his work and would highly recommend him and his firm for any type of support.

I was falsely accused of using illegal drug (codeine); given a GOMOR and referred to the board for elimination. Mr. Carpenter representing me pointed out the inconsistencies in my case and was able to secure my retain in the Army. He went beyond what I hired him for to get me information on my next m...oves and pathway to retirement (16 years in the army). As a lawyer he has done an excellent job and as person he cares. We are still in contact. He keeps looking into my files and updates me. I think hiring him was one of the best decisions I ever made. Stephen and his team were amazing.

Firstly, Stephen Carpenter did an amazing job on what we both initially thought was a straightforward case. However, shortly after notification of my BOI, an Art 120 allegation was made which delayed my BOI for over a year. During this time, Mr. Carpenter continued to stay in touch and provide sound ...legal advice as updates came up. When the BOI drew close, he spent hours working with me to perfect our defense. He is meticulous and highly detail-oriented. He honed in on key facts that led to the BOI declaring the Art 120 allegation unsubstantiated. While the original allegation was declared substantiated and a recommendation for separation was submitted, it was with an HONORABLE discharge. Furthermore, Mr. Carpenter's work on this case paved the way for (hopefully) the Army Review Boards Agency to overturn the board's separation recommendation and allow me to retire. Time will tell, but I will tell you this...if you're in trouble with military justice...call Stephen Carpenter.

If you're seeking military justice you need an Attorney that has a winning strategy; even if you think the odds are stacked against you. Such as the case with me who was facing an ADSEP with an Other than Honorable Discharge recommendation. Mr. Carpenter represented me at the ADSEP hearing, wrote a...n Appeal on my behalf which directly resulted in checkmating the governments evidence. This resulted in the Separating Authority overturning the ADSEP findings. So military justice will prevail if you utilize Mr. Carpenter and his staff's services. JT

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!
