Posted by Vernessa | June 03, 2013 | Child Custody

From a long-standing client :

Attorney Carter represented us in a child custody case that became very complicated. He has been our rock. I found him to be quite consistent, reliable, compassionate and knowlegable as we forged new ground in Tennessee state law. His staff is awesome. They answered our questions and concerns, an...d returned our calls right away. He worked with us, invited our input and opinions, and was readily available for consultation. I recommend him highly and without reservation.
