Shelley Carter PA - The lawyer you need

"I have known of Attorney Carter for a few years, but did not have a case with her until last year. She certainly was a good advocate for her client and worked hard for his benefit. She was on top things and I would highly recommend her in any family/divorce related matter."
"I endorse this lawyer. Shelley Carter is top-notch. She has an unwavering commitment to the well-being of her clients. She is talented in the courtroom, and approaches her cases with a combination of creativity and passion."
"I endorse this lawyer. Shelley is a hard working advocate for her clients. I have worked with her on a few occasions and have found that while we may disagree on things, she is not disagreeable. Shelley looks for solutions to problems, rather than creating them! Good lawyering includes the ability to resolve cases. Shelley knows how this is done, in the best interests of her clients."
"I have worked on several cases in which Ms. Carter was the opposing counsel. I have always found her to be a very staunch and dedicated advocate for her client. She is always prepared and organized, with a good grasp of the law. She also is very sensitive to her clients' personal situations and their needs during the up and down course of a litigation. While Ms. Carter is very capable in a court room, she is also able to mediate a just and fair solution to an individual case. This is extremely important in domestic relations cases, especially where children are involved. I have also seen Ms. Carter's work in criminal matters. She is very adept in these matters as well. She knows the law, knows the District attorneys, and knows the best way to achieve the best result for her clients. In the past, my family has sought Ms. Carter's advice in certain sensitive matters. We have found her counsel to be sound and practical."
"I endorse this lawyer. Shelley is a competent, attentive attorney who has well served the Western Maine community for over a decade. I highly recommend her in all my referrals to her law firm."
"I endorse Attorney Carter. Shelly is diligent, knowledgeable and thoroughly experienced in all aspects of criminal defense, which enables her to achieve great results for her clients."
