Guidance during scary waters

I found myself needing a divorce after 24 years of marriage. Needless to say I was overwhelmed. Mr Carter was amazing and helped me navigate unknown waters. I didn’t know what I didn’t know; however, he guided me to the best possible outcome. I had prompt answers to all of my questions. I appreciate ...and highly recommend Mr Carter’s services.

HORRIBLE

I paid to have a consultation with him and he ended up giving me advice that led me into getting arrested for parental interference. After the arrest he would not talk to me unless I paid him $2500. Definitely would not recommend to anyone.

This person was never a client. I do not know circumstances leading to his/her arrest. If there was a call after arrest, potential client would have been quoted fee commensurate with the charge. Doug Carter

  • 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.
