About Kashonda

Learn Kashonda’s areas of practice.

The focus of my practice is serving individuals and families within the community, specifically in the areas of family law, estate planning, and real property law. Prior to starting my practice, I served as a judicial intern to the Honorable Albert Diaz in the United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit, the Honorable Wanda G. Bryant in the North Carolina State Court of Appeals, and the Honorable Robert C. Conrad in the United States District Court for the Western District of North Carolina. Additionally, I interned with the Senior Vice President and Regional Legal Counsel for Balfour Beatty Construction-the 3rd largest builder in the country. And before law school, I worked as a litigation paralegal for over 6 years on both state and federal actions. My litigation background started in family law and insurance defense. It then progressed to various facets of real estate law, particularly community associations law, foreclosures, and  construction law. Now, as a solo practitioner, I have the joy and flexibility of choosing who I serve, and I've chosen to serve the people of my community. Please feel free to contact my office in regards to your legal needs.

Divorce Proceedings
Ms. Carter and her team are true professionals. It is a family-oriented environment, which allowed me to divulge uncomfortable information during a very difficult time. Ms. Carter was with me during every step of the way to include during the virtual hearings. I highly recommend their services for any type of legal advice.

Awesome advice!
I've spoken with Lynn regarding my family law situation (divorce and relocation from FL to MD with infant) a few times. Although the jurisdiction for my case is FL, Lynn has been willing and responsive in providing invaluable advice and recommended actions I can take. She is very personable and insightful. My only wish is that I could have hired her to represent me in FL.

Teamwork
When I hired Lynn Carter to help me through one of the most difficult times in my life, she navigated the coarse of my divorce case in a most professional and personal way. We worked together under her direction to satisfy not only court requirements but to my own needs. She made me feel that she was working for me. She made sure my best interests were a priority. There wasn't any question unanswered or requests held back. The firms personal website makes it easy for communicating, paying bills and uploading downloading documents. Lynn Carter made me feel at ease and at times reassured me the out come of my case. It has truly been an honor working with Lynn and the Carter firm. I can't express how much I appreciate all she has done and how much support she has given. I highly recommend the Lynn Carter Firm for your personal legal needs and know things will get done..

Disabled Dorothy M. Shaw Alimony ceased
Attorney Carter represented the physically, emotionally, and financially suffering client, our mother, until her demise, which can possibly be the result of the aforementioned conditions, some conditions preventable, of our Mom. She was a good listener and thus learned about the mistreatment and disrespect promoted by my Father's second wife and POA to Dorothy Shaw, who was disabled and lowe income. When my Dad's second wife and her name calling attorney stooped low avoiding the legal process, attorney Carter professionally responded to both parties. Mrs. Cleoria failed my Dad and my Mom by failing to communicate and allow factifinding, transparency and discussion as the second wife, POA and Representative with Dorothy Shaw. Attorney Carter realized that my mother could not make ends meet, was susceptible to homlessness, and experienced emotional distress and took her case regardless of her ability to pay. Attorney Carter sought what was due to my mother while Cleroria verbally claimed being broke and providing know professional dialogue with and paper proof to Dorothy M. Shaw, who relied on a mere $1000 alimony since 1990 cost of living.

Very Thorough and Professional
Ms. Carter helped me with a land boundary dispute. She was able to pull deeds going back to the early 1800’s when my family first acquired the land and put me in touch with the best surveyor who was also able to pull county documents proving my ownership. They were a great asset to me while also keeping expenses in mind.

A Blessing in disguise
I reached out to ms.carter back in August though I couldn't afford to retain counsel she enlighten me on other ways to obtain legal representation so I consulted further with legal aide,was not happy at all with the lack of compassion n felt loss in really understanding what was going on with my divorce/custody case however (Lynn)Ms.Carter called me n wanted to know how I n my case was doing I remember saying to myself OMG who does that,that she took time from her busy schedule n remembered about my first court hearing so I shared my concerns of my legal aide attorney n ms.carter showed professionalism towards her colleague n helped to understand certain things. As soon as I was able financially I hired ms.carter and her team right before the finalization of my divorce/custody hearing n with ms.carter's thoroughness n strategy she was competent n able to turn my circumstances around in my favor, I'm so grateful for this attorney can't wait to see what her future as an exceptional attorney n The Carter Law Firm will accomplish for individuals who are in need of intelligent compassionate attorneys to help them in their time of distress. Ms.Carter my family n I appreciate all you have done to help give us a peace of mind Ty.

Thank you Lynn!
I had a phenomenal experience with Lynn. Lynn assistance me in pursuing a home builder that screwed me over. One month before I was scheduled to settle on my new home, the builder/preferred lender advised me that I would not be able to get the flooring that I selected. Even though this was a deal breaker for me, the builder refused to void the contract and refund my earnest deposit. The builder told me that flooring was not a condition to void the contract. Once I contacted Lynn she was prompt, professional and very straight forward. Because of the strict contract that I signed with the builder, Lynn and I both thought it would be impossible to settle this with the builder. 2-3 weeks after reaching out to Lynn, she was able to void the contract with the builder AND the builder agreed to refund my earnest deposit. I will definitely reach out to her again BEFORE entering another contract to purchase my first home.

Separation/Divorce Consultation
Ms. or Mrs. was very knowledgable and understanding to my situation and offered a great deal of good advice and action plans to prepare myself for and make things somewhat less difficult for an already stressful period. Thanks to her advice I'll try to do most on our own since things are amicable between us right now. And not a lot of assets between us.

Child Custody Case
I hired Kashonda Lynn Carter in March 2017 for my custody case in Maryland. Because of her hard work and dedication, the case was dismissed on Monday, August 14, 2017. After my initial consultation with Ms. Carter, I realized that all the stress I had been under because of the child custody case and the previous representation of another attorney was over. Ms. Carter reassured me that she had everything under control and would be filing the necessary paperwork to get my case dismissed. Less than two week later, I received 11 pages of legal documents for my review. It was evident that Ms. Carter had thoroughly researched my case and cited evidence that made it clear to me that she had spent countless hours working on my case. I later discovered that she had initially spent over 12 hours working on my case. It was evident that Ms. Carter had done a lot of research and was leaving nothing to chance. Later, Ms. Carter wanted to make sure that I would not have to re-experience this legal battle so she went even further and filed additional paperwork so that the plaintiff could not refile the case in a different court. Ms. Carter was available at all times including nights and weekends with any concern or updates that I needed. If I had any questions or concerns, Ms. Carter was able to reassure me that she had everything under control. Also, unlike my experience with another attorney who charged me exorbitant fees for every call, text or email, Ms. Carter was the complete opposite. Not only were her fees extremely competitive but the quality of her work can be rated as highly effective. I will not hesitate in recommending Ms. Carter as an exceptional attorney. She made me realize that all attorneys are not the same. She can be described as driven, dedicated, trustworthy and very easy to speak to.

Professional, Competent and Helpful
When our teenager was being accused of inappropriate actions, we met with Lynn Carter for a consultation. Her advice and guidance gave us the information we needed to handle the intake hearing with confidence. Luckily, the charges were dismissed at that point, but we would gladly have retained her services if it had proceeded to trial.

Caring, thoughtful and informative
Ms. Carter was very helpful and empathetic to my situation when I called seeking an attorney. At no point did she dismiss my concerns or make me feel as though I was unimportant or she was too busy to speak to me, as many other attorneys do. She was knowledgeable and i feel she lead me in the right direction. I would consult with her for any future legal matters as well as recommend her. Highly polite and professional!

Extremely Helpful and Understanding
Miss Carter was about as helpful as I could have imagined. She gave me her undivided attention immediately upon contacting her and she impressed me with how kind, understanding and professional she was during our consultation. She advised me of several options that I have available to me based on my situation. I am hoping to not need to hire her for her services, but if and when I have to, I will feel confident that my money is going to the right person. She is clearly experienced in this field and you can feel right away that she truly cares about you, your case, and making sure justice prevails!

One of the best attorneys around!!!
I consulted with Miss Carter in regards to a four year old, tenant landlord issue in which I was wrongly charged. I was working with a very short time frame, however Miss Carter provided my case with her undivided attention. She worked very closely with me to ensure that I provided her with all pertinent information regarding my case. Miss Carter genuinely displayed her passion for her profession and the community that she serves. Her overall goal was to ensure that justice was served. I would highly recommend Miss Carter for her expertise, passion, and professionalism. If you are in need of legal advice, contact K Lynn and she will lead you right!

Very Professional
I did not hire Kashonda yet due to things I need to do within my own state of NJ. I sent Kashonda and 3 other attorneys a message concerning my case and Kashonda was the only attorney to respond. She responded the same day and continued to be responsive in a timely manner. Even though I have not hired Kashonda yet I would recommend speaking with her due to her professionalism and experience. One reason I contacted Kashonda and 3 other attorneys is because I fired my current attorney because he failed miserably in returning my calls and made me have to chase him. For me it is extremely important the attorney responds in a timely manner and Kashonda has that work ethic. Respectfully, Selina
