Great attorney, would highly recommend

Mr Carter is great. I had a complicated probation violation case as another county was involved and he did what my other attorneys either would not or could not do. I was transferred from another county and should have been realeased from Davidson county when I arrived as both counties were running m...y time concurrent, but when I got to Davidson county I was told my time was consecutive (which means a sentence must be served in its entirety after you complete the previous sentence) despite my original deal of everything being concurrent. My previous paid attorney said everything was taken care of and my time would get calculated and I would get my jail credits, I soon found out that was not the case when my former attorney told me he couldn’t do anything. Thinking I had to finish another 11/29 in jail after I had just finished my sentence for the same incident in a different county I decided to reach out to see if that was correct. So I hired Tim, and was completely relieved when I spoke to him. He was completely straightforward and always kept me informed. My other attorneys did not keep me in the loop like he did, and he managed to accomplish what they said they could not. Thus, I was released from jail with the possibility of being off probation in 6 months. I highly recommend him as he’s straightforward and diligent and keeps you informed, which if you have ever experienced the legal system you will know that’s one of the biggest issues in regards to your relationship with a attorney. Thanks Tim.

Top of His Game, Professional

I had the distinct pleasure of working with Mr. Carter. His professionalism, demeanor, and knowledge enhanced is enthusiastic attitude. Considering the difficult situation that was presented to him, he took the task head on and worked diligently to serve our needs. Just because an attorney expects t...op dollar for their services, doesn't mean they are worth the work they give. But Mr. Carter was fair and top notch above the rest. I will absolutely contact him for future business and will continue to refer him to my peers.

Number One Criminal Defense Lawyer

Tim is very upfront and a man of his word. He kept me well informed and went the extra mile to make sure I felt comfortable in the courtroom. He is also extremely organized and prompt. Aslso, hebstuck with me until we got the plea bargain we hoped for. From experience using other attorneys, these tr...aits aren't as easy to come across as you'd think. Thank you for all your help these past few months Tim!!!
