Freedom

Atty Carpenter was awesome! His staff was very helpful. They always responded to email and phone calls within a matter of hours. Atty Carpenter was very patient and understanding. I would highly recommend him.

Not what you are looking for

Walk away, better yet, run! If there were zero stars, that’s what I would leave. I will be surprised if this review does not get deleted “somehow”… He pays to have his reviews “fixed”. I have unfortunately been evolved with 5 other family law attorneys and Jason is the worst attorney I have ever se...en. His business has been formed around taking your fee for initial consultation. He plays on your emotions during this horrible time in your life. He will not be attentive to your case after the retainer is in place. He will not work with the other attorney to come to an agreement. He will not fight to win anything. The billboard add around town was not his idea but he takes credit for it a recent TV interview “about his book”. That’s right. “Book”! What attorney has time to write a book and run a firm? One that hired other inexperienced attorneys to handle the family law while he focused on a book. This guy is a charlatan. (noun: charlatan; a person falsely claiming to have a special knowledge or skill; a fraud. "a self-confessed con artist and charlatan") take you business elsewhere, you will not regret it.

Super nice person

I was linked with Mr Carpenter through prepaid legal in 2017 for my custody case. He went above and beyond and above to get me 50/50 custody rights for my kids. I used him again in 2019 when my ex refused to honor the court order, not only that, helped me wrote letters few times without charge.

Best law firm

Cory was amazing, I could not have been happier with his knowledge, inter personal skills and compassion dealing with my situation. I am an anxious person and he left me feeling at ease. The entire staff is punctual and so kind and willing to help. They got back to me quickly with all my concerns and... was beyond understanding. I can’t thank them all enough for their hard work and winning my case!

"Jason and I have had offices is the same building for a few months. He has demonstrated to me that he is a hard-working and detail-oriented person. He is very organized and knows how to ask the right questions. As a fellow solo attorney, It is clear to me that he really cares about his clients and is ready to give each case the individual attention it deserves. For these reasons, Jason is an attorney that I myself would hire for any of my own family law issues."
