Life Sentence Without Parole

Mr. Carson was hesitant at both of my trials, I had to stand up and say objection myself. He only had one defense, which was my client wasn't on the scene, which the Supreme Court Of Bulloch County doesn't care about. I ended up with a life sentence without parole.

Railroad Custody Case

This lawyer did not do his job effectively. In fact he told me I was being railroad in my custody case during consultation and assure he could help me. John did the complete opposite and allowed me to be railroad by Bryan county lawyers and judges. He knew he couldn’t fight those unethical court o...fficials. The GAL in the case he claim he knew personally. The judge recused himself on the day of a prior hearing and John was hired as the Judge gave me 45 days (giving temporary custody to opposing party) John suggested mediation and another judge was hired to perform a long 4 hour mediation. John didn’t go over mediation with me prior to this day, however, he billed me for it. There was a final decree in which I had no clue was changed in favor of the opposing party. John never went over those changes with me. Things I never agreed on was in the final order, but not on the form I signed during mediation. The change was a total nightmare as I had to make accommodations which cost me my job. I do not recommend this attorney. He took my money and did absolutely nothing. I will forever remember how I was treated unethically.

Highly recommend Mr Carson

I have hired Mr Carson on criminal charges he went beyond expectations to prove my case he worked hard and was compassionate and caring. It was a tough case to prove your innocence when you did no wrong. I am very pleased and we won. Thank you for all your hard work .
