"Rich Carter is one of the very few lawyers around who understands employee benefit law, especially as they are governed by ERISA. If you've had a disability or health benefit denied, give him a call. He knows what he is talking about. He'll walk you through the steps and tell you whether or not he can help. He is very well known and liked by lawyers in our area."

Avvo Rating

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. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
