Tara Hawley Carter

I needed some help with a small estate affidavit after my father passed. I live out of the state of Tennessee making it very difficult to get straight answers from anyone and eventually finding that a couple lawyers were trying to nickel and dime me - starting with one price and then coming back with... another. Then I found Tara. She was the answer to my prayers: upfront, informative, confident, and most importantly, honest. She quoted me a flat fee for the work and filing fees for probate court, she constantly kept me informed with paperwork updates and the like. She was empathic to the fact that I was dealing with a stressful situation. The human element of the law is hard to find sometimes. I really appreciated that coming from Tara. She's got a great sense of humor, too, which is usually important in times like these. She takes her work very seriously. She also - after no longer being her client - answered my emails full of questions and met with me to go over things in person once I'd gotten into town. I thought she was great and I feel so lucky to have found her. I'd definitely recommend Tara.

I engaged Ms Carter of the Higgins Firm, to handle the estate of a deceased family member. She was very diligent in resolving all the issues in this complicated estate. I feel that she was very successful in bringing about the best possible results. Ms Carter explained in detail her actions every ...step of the way. She answered all e-mails and phone calls very promptly and gave frequent updates on the progress of her work. I would highly recommend her to anyone who needs a Probate Attorney.

When my mother passed, I was overwhelmed with all of the Legal matters that came along with an estate. I was recommended by a co worker to The Higgins Firm and specifically Tara Carter. I called the Firm and was relieved to just hear an actual person, and not an automated machine. Tara spoke with ...me the day that I called and after our first phone conversation I knew that I had made the right choice for an attorney, She is very educated in all Probate matters and was able to handle my mother's estate ( which was a mess) in a timely manner and with ease! She has since helped me with a Will for myself and my sister,

When my father passed away, our family wasn't prepared to handle the legal issues that followed. Luckily we found Tara! She was able to talk us through what needed to be done and reassured us that she would work as hard as she could to meet our goals. Tara was great about keeping us informed about ev...erything she did and we appreciated how easy she made it for us during such a difficult time. Our family is forever grateful to Tara for all of the hard work she put into helping us sort out all of the legal problems that surrounded my father's death. Our family will no doubt continue to use Tara for any other probate or estate issues that we might face in the future!
