Hire this lawyer, I did, and would do so again
I came to Mark with a post-employment matter. Mark was empathetic, clear-headed, well-informed, practical, responsive, professional, and affordable. I am writing this review five years later remembering how mad, emotional and abused I felt inside at the time and how sensible, rational and unflappable...

I highly recommend Attorney Carta
I consulted with Attorney Carta by telephone regarding an employment matter. He is incredibly knowledgeable, gracious and was very helpful in recommending the most appropriate next steps for this situation. I would not hesitate to engage his help for any future issue.

Best Lawyer
Mark is absolutely professional. We used the paid consultation service. The experience was extremely nice to work with him. Not just a experienced lawyer, he concerns about his clients with high level of humanity. I'd like to recommend him for your employment law cases.

Great lawyer - practical and collaborative
This is the third time I have worked with Mark on an employment matter. In each instance Mark has been very accessible, and has provided very strategic and practical advice. Moreover, the outcome in all three cases not only has been in my favor, but has outstanding in terms of overall benefit to me....
Mark R Carta's Lawyer Endorsements
"Attorney Carta was opposing counsel in a discrimination action. He represented his client aggressively, and with strong attention to the details and facts. A great attorney. I highly endorse him."
"Attorney Mark Carta is an outstanding lawyer. He gives clear and practical advice and is a great advocate for his clients. His negotiation skills are unparalleled. I highly endorse Attorney Carta."
"I have worked with Mark and his partners for over 10 years. There are not many Connecticut trial lawyers who are as well-versed in Connecticut state and local trial practice procedures than Mark Carta. His million dollar verdicts for his clients speak for themselves. I routinely refer complicated civil litigation matters, and sensitive employment matters to him. I highly recommend him."
"One of the top commercial and employment litigators in CT, as evidenced by his recent jury verdict against IBM. Also has strong experience in contested probate matters. Thoughtful, prepared and an excellent communicator (both written and oral advocacy). Skilled and experienced. Mark is a true professional, a great advocate for his clients, and a credit to the bar."
"I highly endorse Mark. I have worked with and referred employment litigation matters to him over the years and he has always handled these matters with the utmost professionalism and legal skills."
"I endorse this lawyer. I have worked with Mark for over 30 years and know him to be a zealous advocate and a thorough, thoughtful attorney who always conducts himself in accordance with the highest professional standards. He is a fierce litigator; but at the same time he is effective and creative in seeking agreement between combating parties. He is honest and fair, and I recommend him without reservation."
"I recently concluded working with Mark on a matter in which we both represented the same client and thus we collaborated on our representation. Although I am usually reticent to undertake a joint representation, I found working with Mark to be not only productive but also stimulating. It was interesting that we did not always approach issues in the same fashion but nevertheless we always met our objectives. Mark was uncannily astute and insightful. He is compassionate, thorough and formidable."
