Great Lawyer

He represented me a few years ago and did an amazing job. I referred my friends to him and they were all very happy with the results. He is the BEST.

Outstanding Attorney!

I can’t speak highly enough of the legal representation provided by Attorney Karpov. The entire experience was very professional and efficient. He takes the time to address all of your questions and concerns pertaining to your specific needs. In what was potentially a dire situation he provided a per...sonalized legal argument that yielded positive results. I strongly endorse Attorney Karpov for his excellent service and expertise!

Attorney Karpov is the man you want to defend you!!

I couldn't recommend Attorney Karpov enough. He is a straight shooter and calls it like it is - while truly caring about his clients and supporting their interests. Mr. Karpov has always gone above and beyond for myself and my family (without charging an arm and a leg) and always succeeded on all our... legal fronts. I first called Mr. Karpov when my Husband's ex wife pressed false criminal charges against him. Despite the ridiculous charges, Anton Karpov took the case seriously. On the day of court, in less than two minutes Mr. Karpov had his ex wife stuttering, and the case dismissed. My second time contacting Mr. Karpov was when the same ex wife pressed more bogus criminal charges against me in effort to stop our pending marriage. Mr. Karpov took the case just as seriously and understood the highly complicated situation completely. He even had a second meeting with myself and my father (another attorney, different area of law) to discuss in details the defense and our concerns again. On the day of court I didn't have to speak or even offer a defense, and the case was dismissed in agreement of Anton's motion.
