Carson Raymond Lester

Carson R. Lester was born and raised in Oak Park, California. An Eagle Scout, he developed discipline and determination early on, and his involvement in the YMCA’s Model Legislature and Courts (“Youth and Government”) helped inspire his path toward a legal career.

Carson attended Northern Arizona University, where he studied cultural development and international relations and completed a minor in Italian, including time studying in Siena, Italy in 2018. He earned his J.D. from the University of Oregon School of Law, researching topics in Water Law and International Arbitration, and gained hands-on experience through internships with the Chandler Chamber of Commerce, the firm of Lester, Schuck, Becker, Dehesa, and Hirschberg, and as a certified law student with the Lane County District Attorney’s Office.

He began working in bankruptcy law as a paralegal and later as an attorney, focusing on client-centered advocacy and support. Carson is committed to providing compassionate, determined representation to Arizona residents, and outside of work he enjoys movies, reading, and cooking for family and friends.
