It is clear from Meredith's responses on AVVO that she is a knowledgeable and capable advocate who cares about her clients. I endorse this attorney.

A review of the nearly six hundred answers that Ms. Carter has posted on this forum so far shows that she is quick to cut to the heart of a matter, provides great advice, and is willing to advocate for employees in a wide range of employment discrimination, harassment, and retaliation situations. I would not hesitate to direct anyone seeking a plaintiff's labor and employment attorney to call Ms. Carter.
