The best law firm

I highly recommend Carter Mario Law Firm. They were very attentive, did not treat my case as too small, friendly and courteous and kept in contact with us. They got me an award of so much more than the insurance company offered.

Excellent Law Firm

Alison Reilly Gillogtti was excellent, great communication along the way. As soon as I met her I knew I was in good hands. I was getting harassed a bit by the insurance company in the beginning and she shut that right down. Ruby Mendez was my case manager. She was all businesses and didn't take any n...onsense. She shut down a lot of the "static and noise" that comes with the territory in car accidents . Ruby was also an excellent communicator and kept me up to date along the way. I was extremely happy with my settlement and the people that worked at the front desk were extremely friendly and helpful.

"When you hear someone say, "Get Carter", you can bet...they mean it. I have known Carter for many, many years. He has helped thousands of injury victims and he has treated every single one as if they were the only client he has. Carter's clients really do come first! He zealously and passionately serves each one with a dedication that cannot be matched. Fighting against big insurance companies and protecting an individual's right to be treated fairly, with respect and dignity is what Carter is all about. So, when you hear "Get Carter", it's not just some catchy slogan, it's a call to real action for those who need help...from a man who really cares."

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
