Above all else, our lawyers work diligently to truly understand the facts and ramifications behind the allegations. Unlike courts-martial, separation boards have few rules which manage the introduction of evidence. As a result, our lawyers often file pre-hearing motions, to include, but not limited to bills of particular and specially crafted discovery requests tailored unveil the best sides of your case. By way of background, involuntary separation boards are comprised of typically 3 military members, except for our medical board cases, which can reach a dozen
medical personnel. These medical credentialling boards commonly touch upon misconduct, such as drunk driving and substance abuse questions. This firm´s founder, Mr. Carpenter, previously served as a Attorney General Prosecutor (AAG) in medical disciplinary licensing cases for the Washington State Attorney General. In this sense, in the end, the linchpin question is whether the “recorder” (essentially the government
prosecutor) can prove his or her case by a “preponderance of the evidence.” Finally, all boards allow us to reject unfair board members, call character witnesses and explore the reasons why the accusations are untrue, or have been unfairly embellished.
