Wonderful attorney and office staff

I chose David Carter as my attorney after being struck by a runaway car. He was always very responsive and helpful. I have never had to hire an attorney in my 71 years of life but I am sure glad I hired David. He is not a “billboard” lawyer. I did not want one of them! David is friendly and has a... wonderful demeanor. His office staff is amazing and Ashley my case manager, was always helpful when I had a question. I am blessed to have these wonderful people help me out.

We got Justice from damage in our apartment.

After me and my wife lost a lot of our belongings because of a contractor negligence, in few months our Lawyer David J. Carter settled with the Insurance. We are Very Satisfied how tenacious and fast he was dealing with the insurance. And by the way, he always kept us posted of each step until Justi...ce was done. God Bless David J. Carter !

If You Were Injured Don't Face It Alone!

It's always going to be life shattering for anyone who has been injured in a car accident. So many questions runs through your mind about what to do next and who to call. Flashes of worry of what may come blasts through your head about loss of work, legal/insurance cases, and future medical bills. I ...wouldn't wish anyone to have to go through that alone which is why I recommend to call Attorney David Carter if you have been injured and in a car crash or have any questions regarding traffic law and your rights. You never have to face what happened to you alone. McCulloch & Carter Law is my go to when it comes to traffic accidents and citations. After being rear-ended by a violent driver here in Brandon, FL, I called the cops and my significant other then I immediately called McCulloch & Carter Law firm. And I am so glad I did! All of my confusion and lack of direction was all addressed by Attorney David Carter. He helped me to resolve not only the losses I incurred from the accident from this uninsured driver, but also he helped me maximize benefits from my PIP and Bodily Injury coverage for my medical emergency. The things I didn't even know were available to help me he made sure I got it all. Never face traffic situations alone because you don't have to! Over the 6 months that I have been seeing doctors and recovering from my injuries Attorney David Carter was there to navigate me every step of the way. Now today all my medical bills have been covered and I don't owe a thing. And like the cherry on top of the sundae I even received funds to replace my damaged car and funds for any future medical needs. I couldn't have done any of this on my own. Thank you so much David for all your dedication and assistance!

Mr Carter was great thru out my case. Always informed me with any information I needed to know. Also Mr. Carter was available when I had any questions. If you didn't get him then rest assure he would return your call within a day if not before. Again thanks for all you did to make sure my outcome wo...uld be satisfied as the client. Would definitely use Mr. Carter if ever need legal issues..
