Not expert on Post Convictions

The week of June 4, 2018, I emailed an attorney with motion attached and key details of the case. An attorney contacted me and referred me to Carla Lowry who then emailed me, called me and text me. She was very responsive in the beginning. When I met with her on June 14, she said she reviewed all tha...t was attached to the email and that she can do the sentencing scoresheet 3800 motion for $5000 including restoring his rights. I have detailed records and emails of what she is able to do. August 21, Carla said she didn't have good news and a letter will be mailed to my busband .Finally, we received a letter after a few weeks. She never once spoke to my husband (the defendant ) until October 8th. From the day I paid $2500 June 21st until August 21st. When my husband spoke to her its as if she was still unaware that this was a post conviction relief. We did find another attorney who told us she is not an expert on post conviction and I won't have to pay this new attorney until we get a hearing date.

Great Attorney

I hired Carla a few years ago for a pretty serious felony criminal matter. She was great! She was able to negotiate a plea deal that resulted in me having no jail time and only 6 months probation (which was very good considering the charge). She's very affordable and really good at allowing payment p...lans (after an initial small lump sum payment). She wasn't the greatest at calling back right away but she's a busy attorney; I expected that. Even though I didn't always talk to Carla, I was able to get the information I needed from her friendly and helpful employees. I would recommend Carla a million times over!!

Solid, Affordable Divorce Laywer

I hired Carla to handle my divorce after a 20+ year marriage. Not only did she handle it expediently, but she also was honest, straightforward, responsive and didn't encourage actions that would prolong the process just to rack up legal fees for either herself or the other party. I received sound adv...ice and clear options along the way, even though I had to make several decisions that weren't always easy. I would recommend Carla to other women seeking counsel and representation during a divorce or family dispute.
