My Review

Great lawyer with a great team she is also a God fearing woman and her purpose is to make sure her clients are taking cared of I was literally facing life for something I didn’t do and with this woman expertise and her team I was found not guilty.

Rachelle was instrumental to my case ultimately being dismiss. Furthermore throughout the process she remained poised and maticulous in my denfense litagations. In addition, her staff upheld her work ethics and policies; Rachelle always was available for my case and my person questions. I would recommend her to anyone for any type of case period.

I did not know which way to turn when going through a divorce until someone recommended me to attorney Rochelle Carter that was the best decision that I have ever made. when it comes to representing you she represents with strong force like a bulldog and she will not stop until she get you the results and satisfaction that you deserve she's very thorough and what she believes in and what she does I had a lot of sleepless nights until she represented me then when she started representing me I started being more at peace within myself within my home and within my workplace attorney Carter a straightforward she make sure that all the t's are crossed and all the i's are dotted I highly recommend her to anyone regardless of your situation if you need a lawyer who will represent you from the beginning to the end Call attorney Carter before you call anyone else and I guarantee that would be the best decision you ever could have made thanks atty Carter for all that you have done.

AMAZING ATTORNEY!

I slipped and fell at a prominent, upscale chain restaurant while in Houston - with my young son in tow - and twisted my ankle in the process. The restaurant acknowledged their liability (freshly mopped marble floors near closing time, with dim lighting and no warnings of any kind, among other things) but didn’t offer [me] any compensation. Fortunately, I received counsel from the LAW OFFICE OF RACHELLE D. CARTER, and with her expert guidance and handling, my case was settled quickly and very satisfactorily! She worked hard to ensure that my medical bills were covered AND that I received a fair and moderate settlement – all without even having to go to court! I am eternally grateful for her consummate professionalism, courtesy, reliability, and total efficiency during an extremely stressful time. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND the Law Office of Rachelle D. Carter; you will not be disappointed!

Great Lawyer

Ms. Carter was a great attorney for my chile support case. My ex was trying to claim that I have been keeping our children away from him when the truth was he just wasn't visiting or paying child support. Not only did Ms. Carter defend me from my ex's lies but she got me an increase in child support as well. She is a hard worker and was absolutely worth every penny I paid her.

One incredible lawyer!!!

I am so blessed to have hired Mrs. Carter! Right from the start, she displayed a masterful grasp of the law, and what could or could not be used in my defense. She immediately cut through the -and please excuse my vulgarity - complete garbage brought against me by the District Attorney's office. They fought long and hard to make the charges stick, but Mrs. Rachelle is way too good at her job for those shenanigans! 100/10, have recommended to all of my friends.

SHE IS THE BEST!!!!!!

Ms. Carter is a VERY classy and professional women who changed my life. I got myself in some trouble back in 2005 and I made the decision to get my record sealed. I made a appointment and she took over from there. She made this process so much easier for me and she put my mind at ease that she would take care of everything.... and she kept her word. She was available to me at anytime that I needed her and I would use you again with out a second thought... hope I do not need her any other time but in case I do I know that I can trust her. I HIGHLY RECCOMMENDED HER!!!!!!!!!!

Outstanding Attorney

After being referred to Rachelle for a Civil Matter, I found her to be an attorney that is quite knowledgeable of the law, an attorney that listened intently, gathered all the facts, and went to work on my behalf. A pragmatic lawyer, she kept me informed throughout the process and represented my interest with facts and the law. I was proud to have her as my lawyer. As the saying goes, "You never know when you will need an attorney" , but if you do, call Rachelle Carter!

An Excellent Attorney

Attorney Rachelle Carter accompanied me to the Grand Jury, handled matters related to my case and counseled me on what and how to conduct myself when speaking to investigators and the prosecutor. She was attentive, always followed up, made me feel comfortable and at ease during a very stressful time in my life. She is a very competent and confident attorney who worked hard to ensure that bogus charges were never filed against me.
