TOP CRIMINAL ATTORNEY

JL Carpenter is a fantastic attorney who really knows her law. She took my case directly to the Grand Jury and won! I found her to be extremely experienced, well educated, knowledgeable in all areas my case and characters of people. She cared about my case, was always well prepared, and submitted wel...l detailed documentation. She has an eye for detail and points out the intricate details in a case that can make the difference in winning. She's a strong, dependable and trustworthy attorney. JL always kept me informed promptly with any updates to my case and is easily reached through her office. I wouldn't recommend any other attorney. She's simply the best!!!

Calm, Competent, and Professional

When I found that I needed a criminal attorney, Ms. Carpenter was recommended to me by a high school friend whom she had recently defended. Ms. Carpenter acted quickly and efficiently to reset my first hearing until after she had time to review the case with me. She obtained the existing court docu...mentation and reviewed the facts of the case with me. She listened carefully and researched the laws concerning my arrest and the elements necessary to make the state’s case. She presented this information to the ADA in charge of my case and got an agreement to dismiss based on the uncertainty of the charges, and my demonstrating good faith in completing the education and community service requirements outlined by the ADA. When one of the required education classes was cancelled due to bad weather, it looked like I would be unable to complete the ADA’s requirements on time. Ms Carpenter got the completion date reset to the day after the class was re-scheduled. I now know a little more about what it takes to be an excellent attorney having seen Ms. Carpenter at work on my behalf. She is very competent in understanding the law and the rules of evidence. She was diligent in researching the “gray” areas. She vigorously negotiated my case with the ADA based on the strength of her understanding the law, but also showing full respect for the ADA’s position. She represented me and defended my rights while demonstrating a level of calm professionalism that kept the entire matter on track and avoided emotional confrontation with the ADA or the court. I would be proud to recommend Ms. Carpenter as an attorney, a professional, and I hope, as a friend.

JL Carpenter is a Great Defense Lawyer who I would highly recommend!

JL Carpenter is a Great Defense lawyer who will take each and every case very seriously. She is a very friendly person who will make you feel that you can trust her with your case, JL will keep you informed all the time of what is happening or what you can expect to happen. In our case she helped us... with a family member who was innocent, we had three very rough months, but she helped us through it and showed that she believed us. We could not have asked for a better lawyer on our side. As I mentioned before , if you are looking for a good reliable defense lawyer, JL Carpenter is the person you should consider.

Thoughtful and Considerate Attorney at Law

My family's association with "JL" afforded us the opportunity to know a person who is dedicated to her work. She demonstrated patience and a sense of empathy in light of clients aggravation. Her concern for the client's well-being was obvious when she tried to secure his freedom and medical attenti...on immediately. She kept the client and the family apprised of what was transpiring at all times.

Sherri and Hunter had the most carefree experience with J.L. and her firm.

My son and I felt very much at peace as J.L. methodically reviewed each phase of the potential felony charge. J.L.was calm and most professional druring every aspect of the process. She most certainly had her "game on" during the proceedings. We would recommend J.L. to any friend or acquaintance.... We appreciate her time and knowledge.
