Traffic Violation

Emily Ann Carr was very professional handling my case. She accomplished my requests in an efficient manner and with personal follow-ups. I would recommend her to my family and friends if they needed a great lawyer.

Fabulous at what she does...

Emily Carr and her legal assistant, Rachel, make a great pair! I was so pleased with the knowledge that I was given in a polite, appropriate, and extremely timely- quick- fashion. The Carr Law Group is reliable and dependable.

TPO case.

Emily is an outstanding lawyer. She answered any question I had and was able to give me the correct information I needed. She kept me informed on everything and gave me her best legal advice. I would recommend her to anyone. If I ever need a lawyer again, she would be whom I would choose.

Words aren't enough...

To start off with, I have to say a huge Thank You to Emily! Without her, I'm not sure where I would be! After fighting a long battle, even though she knew I would have favor she always made sure I was mentally stable and at ease! The whole law firm were to nice and to be honest, talking with them wer...e like talking to family or my closet friends. She made sure I had everything I needed for when we finally went to court, she never gave up on me and made sure that I was taken care of. Even though I probably was a pain at times and would get upset, not because of her but the situation, she made sure she'd put me back to reality and focus! When I met her face to face, she was amazing. They all were. She listened and showed she cared about my feelings and what my concerns are. She made sure I was ready for not only the good things but also prepared for the bad, just in case but she was so confident which helped me more then anything. I honestly didn't have to do much in court, only sit there and talk to her when I needed too. She is to the point and handled everything amazingly! Like I said, I never had to say a word. God had truly blessed me with her and the firm especially since this was my first time having to ever go to court and do something like this. If I ever need a Georgia attorney, I will not hesitate to get her again! I recommend her and her firm to everyone! They are so nice and family oreinated. Beyond blessed. Like I said, I can't even put in words on how my experience was and I'm hoping this comes close to my excitement and how she has brought happiness back into not only mine but my children! She has made my world complete and made my boys have no more worries or broken hearts!!!

Worst lawyer you wish you never knew

Ms Carr was retained for a family case. She told us everything you would want to hear during our consultation. When it came to the case, she was unresponsive, didn't follow through and only interested in her payments. If you want an inferior and excessively expensive attorney she is perfect. Otherwi...se you would be better off with any other attorney. Do your research, ask around, find a better lawyer than Ms Carr.

I strive for the utmost in client satisfaction, and I'm sorry to hear that you had this experience. Family law cases are emotional, time consuming and often involve depositions, discovery, mediations and sometimes multiple hearings. They can become very expensive due to the time spent to effectively represent clients as well as actions of the other party. I have built my reputation on excellent service, communication and legal representation. Please contact us directly so we can address your specific concerns.
