Review David Carter

Fantasic Lawyer and the go to person for representation

Posted by Shawn KelleySat Dec 16 2017

After contacting several lawyers in a couple weeks, one conversation with David Carter let me know this was the right lawyer for my specific situation. Not only is he a great lawyer but very reasonable with costs and one that actually cares. He gave me great advice and I decided to hire him and was so happy I did. I couldn't imagine another lawyer representing me. I appreciated the knowledge he has, the fight in him, how he cares, how informative he is and quickly he responds back when you contact him. One of the things that impressed me the most was that he set up a payment plan with me to pay fees and he never once mentioned money no matter how many times we talked. I also, didn't feel like because he wasn't fully paid that he wasn't working hard for me. He got me the best result with the circumstances of my case and I know that if I ever need a lawyer to represent me again, I will only need to make 1 phone call to him. I am very grateful for David Carter.

Proactive, Not Reactive

Posted by BrittanyFri Aug 18 2017

I retained Mr. Carter Jr. immediately following our initial phone consultation. The knowledge and competency provided in that single conversation assured me that I had found the right attorney. Not only does David have extensive experience; he is genuinely invested and has sincere concern for his clients. This bulldog does not wait, but aggressively takes control of the situation at hand. Finding a top-notch attorney is a task in itself, but finding one who is fair and has reasonable rates is an entirely different undertaking. David Carter Jr. has proven to be the comprehensive package needed for my situation, and I fully recommend him for yours.
