Hi. Welcome to my Avvo page. I am Carmen Y. Ware. I was born and raised here in Chattanooga, TN where I attended Riverside High School. I am married to Gerald Ware, Sr. and have two sons, Gerald, Jr. and Germaine Ware. Prior to attending law school, I practiced as a registered nurse; mostly in the areas of adult critical care and case management/utilization review. My medical background places me in an unique position to better serve clients seeking disability benefits or have sustained personal injury or disability regardless of the cause. This extensive healthcare knowledge assists me to achieve maximum awards based on your damages and injuries. I look forward to speaking with you about any potential claims you believe you may have, whether the result of medical malpractice or negligence, a work related injury, car or other motor vehicle accident, social security disability, or premise liability.

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter
I endorse Carmen Ware. I have had the opportunity to work against her on a few cases. She is always professional and is a great advocate for her clients.

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter
I have known Carmen Ware for years and most recently worked with her as opposing counsel. I found Mrs. Ware to be a zealous advocate for her client. She was detailed and thorough, yet courteous and professional. I would not hesitate to refer clients to her in the future.
