Total Waste Of Money

Chris knew that I was being railroaded by the “justice system”, and he also knew that my Nursing License was on the line should said charges stick and result in convictions. He made absolutely no effort to fight on my behalf, took my money though and then indicated that I really had no chance of winn...ing a trial and essentially forced me into a plea “deal” that any public defender could’ve done, and possibly even have done better!! Don’t waste your money and throw away your rights or your future! He’s not in the practice of ethical criminal defense, that’s for sure!

Excellent Help with a High Conflict Divorce

I was in the middle of a terrible divorce from an abusive spouse diagnosed with several mental illnesses (sociopath). I had been dropped by my previous attorney, being told that they did not have time for my spouses games and tricks or his difficult attorney. Chris took my case when others did not... want to touch it. He was able to get things done. I don't believe that anyone could have made things go faster. He explained my options to me, listened to me, tried to be creative against the crazy arguments coming from the other side, and most of all, fought for me. He stood up for me in court, with confidence. He understood my position, and had compassion. I wish I had found him in the beginning. It would have been an easier job for him. As it happened, he took a really messed up case, and saved my life. Thank you, Chris.

Lawyer With Integrity

Christopher Carson brings not only his extensive legal experience but also his vast knowledge of history to each case. This enables him to draw upon an additional perspective when defending his clients...He doesn't repeat the same mistakes which other colleagues have made in the past. Confidence and ...the ability to put the client in a position of that same confidence of positive results...even before going to court.

Great lawyer and good man

Chris really helped me get out of a lot of trouble. The district attorney wanted to send me to prison for drunk driving, but Mr. Carson got that case dismissed because the police had no probable cause to arrest me in the first place. Seeing him in action, it made me want to be a lawyer.

Christopher’s comment:

“I fought for a father to see his children, who were being withheld from him illegally. I brought a motion to enforce placement, on the theory that even without a specific order in place, no parent should simply conceal her children from the father. The mother backed down, but not before her lawyer reported my motion to the Bar. The Bar disagreed with my creativity here, claiming that only specific placement orders can be enforced. Sad.”
