Mr. Carpenter focuses his legal "laser beam" on the prosecutor case and zooms in on its weaknesses and flaws. He then work with you to let the Board/Panel see how weak and unsupported it is. His extensive experience enables him to read the Panel/Jury members like a book, and he diligently draws the ...path to your acquittal for them to take. Steve wrote the book on military law technicalities. If OSI/CID/DNI made mistakes in investigating your case he will hold them accountable, and have the flawed evidence thrown out. Be prepared to work hard! He WILL visit to scene or work ceaselessly for 14-16 hours in a day, if this is what it takes to prevail in court. Mr. Carpenter is a brilliant and tough negotiator. What he may secure for you in a settlement can save your career and/or deliver you to your goal line. He is easy to reach for emergent developments, and super easy to get along with; two of the most important aspects to evaluate before hiring ANY attorney. If you are a service member who found himself in military legal misfortunes--HIRE STEVE!

Stephen and his team provided winning results in my case involving a GOMOR. He ensured that my voice was heard by crafting thorough, convincing arguments in my favor. From my initial, inquiring phone call through the successful resolution of my case, Stephen was responsive to my concerns and willing ...to listen to my side of the case. Stephen has a commanding knowledge of military justice and , more importantly, understands how to present information to senior leaders.

Stephen crafted a masterful and persuasive defense that ultimately led the BOI to decide for retention. His attention to detail and ability to speak directly to a military board was invaluable. I would absolutely recommend his services to anyone who would require legal assistance in crafting and pres...enting their defense.

I was 1 of 2 subjects of a GO-directed investigation, and was facing a potential permanent GOMOR. I spoke with 3 other civilian attorneys, and I extremely happy to say that I chose Stephen. He remained actively engaged with my investigation, even while working several other cases at the time. Dili...gent and aggressive, Stephen guided me through the process, engaged the command's legal advisors, and helped craft my response. In the end, I avoided a GOMOR, resumed my career, and have since made the promotion list. I highly recommend calling Stephen, as soon as you are read your rights.

Stephen Carpenter and his staff are an amazing team. I hired his services in November 2018 to represent me as my civilian legal counsel during a Military Involuntary Separation Board conducted in March 2019. Stephen fought hard for me. He went above and beyond and did everything he could to ensure... a great outcome. Stephen and his staff were very professional and knowledgeable about all military legal matters. My opinions were valued and my doubts were always reassured. My needs were put first and I was treated as a friend rather than just a client. One of his staffers, Jason Greene kept in contact with me and provided me support every step of the way. He even took the time to sent me a congratulatory text after the final board determination. This level of care and support showcase the type of climate Stephen instill in his practice. I recommend his services to everyone with military legal matters. Thank you Stephen for all your hard work!
