Greatest Lawyer I have ever known! 100% Trustworthy.

I have known Carl for over 25 years. He has represented me on two occasions. He won both cases and he was always trustworthy, responsive, knowledgeable and kept me informed at all times. I highly recommend Attorney Carl Back.

Lawyer review

Mr. Back is an ethical, loyal and respectful lawyer. He is responsive, conscientious and caring. I would recommend him in a heartbeat. I wish more lawyers were like him.

If you want a great attorney you won't be disapointed with Carl

I have used Carl for a number of issues and in all cases he helped me resolve the issues in a satisfactory manner. Carl is responsive and very trustworthy and kept me well informed throughout the process. He made me feel like he was truly my advocate in these matters which is not always the case ...with many lawyers. I would strongly recommend Carl to anyone who requires legal advice. If Carl feels he is not the best attorney for the job he will tell you and recommend someone who is. In summary he has tremendous integrity and a very good knowledge of the law.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
