Ms. Carpenter provided top of the line legal representation in my criminal case out of Galveston County. She provided me with comfort and apathy while displaying tact, poise, and determination in the court room. My case was dismissed due to Ms. Carpenter's attentiveness in my representation. I would ...highly recommend her to anyone needing legal representation.

Happy in Austin

JL explained everything to me in detail through each phase up to my trial date including best / worst case scenarios. Unlike the experience you'll have with a court appointed attorney , she actually didn't agree to any " deals " yet fought to prove my innocence. I highly recommend this lawyer to anyo...ne that finds themselves in a jam around Harris County .

Excellent representation

We retained J L to represent our son after he was arrested on two felony drug charges. The state also sought to forfeit his car. From the outset, J L's approach was to obtain the best possible outcome for our son, while being realistic on what was possible. J L communicated with us throughout th...e process, and was very accessible when we had questions. She responded promptly to emails, generally within the same day and even on weekends. At court, J L patiently walked our son through the process and clearly explained to us what his best options were based on the facts at hand. J L made all the arguments available to her in discussions with the DA's office and the court in order to get the best result for our son. In the end, he was given deferred adjudication on the least serious of the charges, and the other was dismissed. This result has given him the opportunity to turn his life around without a felony conviction. In addition to the criminal case, J L worked on the civil forfeiture case, even though it was not part of the criminal proceeding, doggedly pressing the DA's office to release my son's car. Through her efforts and persistence, the DA decided to release his car to him and drop the forfeiture action. J L is hardworking and professional. She cared about my son, and understood the impact that this process had on him and our family. I would not hesitate to recommend her as a criminal defense attorney.

NOT GUILTY

I am grateful to live in a country where each of our citizens are guaranteed due process under the Constitution of the United States and innocent until proven guilty really has merit. I was charged with a serious offense and hired the JL Carpenter Law Firm to represent me. JL and her law partner, ...Meghan Smith worked countless hours to represent me and advised me not to accept a plea bargain for a crime that I did not commit, and they would fight the allegations to the very end. NOT GUILTY are two words that I will never forget. Their knowledge of federal, local and state laws are second to none, and I would highly recommend JL Carpenter Law for all your legal needs. THANK YOU!!
