Hmmmm

I am not sure about what Aretha that Attorney David Guy Carter is referring to in the review entitled "Took the insurance company to trial" but I am Aretha and that case sounds very much like the auto incident case I am currently dealing with through his firm for over two years now. It is NOT resolve...d. Any info I get or run-around I should say, is because I call the office to speak with him and very often end up speaking with a staff member. It seem to be more of a scam in that the tow truck guy just happens to know a great law firm that can hook me up as it did him....hmmm. Also I see that Attorney Carter does not specialize in Malpractice cases as he stated to me when pleading to take my case. Personal Injury has absolutely nothing to do with a VA Federal Torte Claim, which is the other case that he is pressuring me to settle. My injuries and loss are real. I do not appreciate being lied to, be taken for the monies I work hard to earn. based on this and this alone, I do not reccommend this attorney at all!! I am a disable veteran and my life is hard enoough!

Could not have been more pleased with the service and conduct

I worked with David Carter on a very large, very complex tax appeal with the IRS. They claimed a taxpayer owed several hundred thousand dollars in estate tax. Mr. Carter recognized the main issue immediately, and we worked for over two years to get the Service to recognize that the client actually ...owed only a few thousand dollars. The savings was over 96% from what the IRS was seeking. During the entire time, Mr. Carter kept both the client and I informed of the current status of the case, the next steps, and the possible outcomes. In short, without Mr. Carter's expertise, diligence and dedication, the taxpayer would most likely have lost most of the assets that his family worked for generations to acquire.

"David and I have worked on several mattes together and I heartily endorse his work in both the Corp/Transactional/Tax arena along with the amazing results he has assisted me with in the area of Personal Injury/Premises Liability. David and I share many of the same feelings regarding our legal system and the necessity of providing outstanding customer service to our clients. That is the primary reason I refer so much work to him as I know he is both proficient and professional. David is certainly someone you want on your side as his writing skills far outstrip mine and he connects to his work in a personal and extraordinarily effective manner."

This means the attorney did something wrong, but the Bar did not suspend the lawyer. Typically in this case, the lawyer's poor behavior is exposed to the public in hopes that he or she will not repeat the behavior.
