My case was an Administrative Separation case. What set Mr. Karns apart was that he was willing to represent me when another lawyer told me they didn't want to. Mr. Karns is great to work with and he works diligently. I saw for myself the preparation he was putting forth on my case and I thought nobody worried about my case as much as I did. The board did decide in my favor and I remain ever grateful to Mr. Karns for seeing me through this difficult episode of my military career.

I highly recommend Stephen Karns! He was the only military lawyer to get back to me and he responded right away (I was surprised because he appeared to be the best I contacted too). His response time to Everything was right away. He explained things clearly and was very personable. My son was AWOL for 5 years and taken to his last base after detention at the border. The Army was charging him with Desertion and going with a Court Martial. Mr Karns listened to my son’s story and fought for a Chapter 10 administrative leave. Just found out the Chapter 10 request was accepted and my son will be released soon! Without Mr. Karns, this would NOT have happened! We are so grateful to have found and hired Stephen Karns as our lawyer!

Mr. Karns is an absolute fantastic option when choosing a defense lawyer. He put nothing but my best interests above all else. He walked me through the entire process and was very patient and understanding with me. He was extremely quick to respond to all of my questions and I couldn’t have asked for a better lawyer. He was able to resolve my case with an exceptional outcome and I would highly recommend him for anyone needing a defense lawyer.

Mr. Karns was always prompt, professional, and gave very astute advice. I was extremely impressed with him and would recommend him to anyone.

Mr. Karns was professional, fast acting, and genuinely cared about my well being. I highly recommend him!

Mr. Karns and his team went above and beyond to fight for my case. He always kept me updated and answered any questions I had. He took a lea on jumping on the case and representing me as well as walking me through expectations on what may come my way. Not only was he open To communication with me but also my spouse. Although the case took longer than anticipated, he continued to stay active and involved in getting to the bottom of it. I am very pleased with him and his team and thankful for them and all they have done to fight for my future and career. I highly recommend Mr. Karns because he will go above and beyond for you and ensure he is consistently checking in on you and the case. Thank you for all you have done for me and my career. It was a true blessing to cross paths with you and your team.

After seven months of waiting, my case is finally over. I just want to thank Mr. Karns and his paralegal Rob for the outstanding work they did to help me clear my name. I was falsely accused of assault and was guilty in my command's mind from the start. Once I saw Mr. Karns question my accuser and saw the look on her face when she knew that she was caught lying, I knew I was going to be vindicated. Mr. Karns gave me the confidence to fight the charges and proved my accuser was lying. I would not have made it through my situation without him. He gave me the right advice every step of the way. I highly recommend Mr. Karns.

Dear Steve, I am writing this review for you as I sit here happy with my parents, wife and children. You deserve a lot of credit for me being able to do this freely devoid of any worries. I remember the frantic emails and distressed calls I made to you while I was in the thick of the situation but much thanks to your instantaneous responses and counselling that I could breathe and know that you have got my back. Your reassurances during my extreme moments of self-doubt were instrumental in me getting through the situation. I am confident that my wife shares the same view and we are truly thankful. This was a journey full of road-blocks, self-discovery, self-doubt and mental challenges. It is only now, post resolving the situation that I realize how important it was for a knowledgable lawyer like you to look through the pile of information I provided and calibrate me to my path. Yes, I did have to walk through the fire myself but you held my hand and I appreciate that. This is my Life – Part 2 and a huge credit of my freedom goes to you. Thank you for keeping your patience with me and being a mentor. Please keep helping people who have veered off their path to realign themselves and walk freely with pride again. My sincere gratitude to you and your team!

When your career is on the line, and you know JAG is overwhelmed and less than interested in your case details, the superior man seeks wise counsel. Your case is your case. There may be details that JAG will miss...but Mr Karns will not miss them. When you hire Mr Karns I can assure you that he will treat your case like it is his only case. His paralegal, Rob, is a breeze to work with. Allow me to digress. Had I not hired Mr Karns, the command and judge advocate would have tried to make some nonsense fly and rely on my ignorance of the law to accept their nonsense and commit career suicide. You have many choices. If you value your career, and your case has any daylight, then you hire a lawyer. Do yourself a favor and hire Mr Karns.

Stephen was the first attorney I contacted to assist me with a show cause board. He contacted me almost immediately after I emailed him. I explained my situation and he provided me with a very professional and aggressive plan of action. I told him that I had contacted other attorney's to gauge my options. After speaking to other attorneys I made my decision to go with Steve. Hands down, he impressed me from the get go. I highly recommend Steve to anyone who finds themselves going before a show cause board.
