Beware Of This Lawyer!

Dave Carr was a total waste of time and money to put it nicely. It became evident that he lacks the experience in handling contested cases. Despite me informing him to put in motions- he failed to do so. He never met with me to discuss Judgements, or conferences thoroughly as he always was often u...navailable, voice mail full, or just never returned calls/messages leaving me to have to figure out deadlines on my own. He then writes saying he was merging with another firm and no longer on my case yet continued to represent me, and when asked about the other counsel to be handling my case- he completely had no response. Instead of apologizing and correcting the matter, he decided to be unprofessional by emailing "find another lawyer, nothing but complaints" and withdrew for his incompetence. It was funny to see that he did have the capability to put in for that withdrawal motion which was the first and fastest motion I ever saw him put in. Save yourself the hassle and retain a professional, and knowledgeable lawyer who will fight for you, walk you every step of the way and file the appropriate things you need for a successful chance in your divorce.

Great legal advice

Dave helped has helped me with two very difficult situations I was in. He was very responsive to my immediate need for advice (VERY important in some situations). He very clearly gave me the various legal choices to proceed with my situations, and told me the pros and cons of each. He also very clear... and direct about the legal costs. I like the fact that at the end of the day, there were no surprises in his billed hours.

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.

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.
