Would highly recommend. One of the best!

Not enough can be said about Mr. Carter’s professionalism both in and out of the courtroom or in this case virtual court room. If you ever find yourself coming out of an extremely toxic relationship and end up in a bogus domestic violence situation do yourself a favor and contact Mr. Carter first. Th...e staff at Hoffman Dimuzio is very friendly and caring. Mr. Carter himself went above and beyond for me and the unfortunate situation I was put in to make sure everything was dismissed. Before and after every trial he would call to touch base or recap and was prompt with answering questions and proving advice. I came in needing a lawyer and left with someone who felt like a friend or family member. His understanding of the laws and your needs exceeded my expectations. He cares, he listens and takes action when needed. I hope to never need his services again but would not hesitate to use Mr. Carter if I ever did. Thank you Mr. Carter for everything.

The Best!

I did a lot of research before I chose a lawyer and I can say I made the best decision. Mr. Carter is very personable and friendly. He told me what the process was going to be for my situation during our consultation and it was in fact everything he said. He was in constant communication every step o...f the way so I knew what was going on. I was very nervous before the court hearing and he did a great job at settling my nerves. He made my situation very easy and stress free. He also did not charge an arm and a leg to have him on my side but based on my experience with him money wouldn’t be an option to have him on my side. I highly recommend Mr. Carter to anyone going thru a divorce or any legal matter. I pray I never need a lawyer again but if I do he will be who I contact. Thank you so much for your help with everything! Given the circumstances I am very glad to have met you Mr. Carter!

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.
