Scam The worst kind
Hired Cari paid her $23000.00 and it has been a year and half of nothing. I have begged to talk to her set up a meeting in her office guess who dropped in to introduce himself Todd. After 20 minutes I said Carie is not coming no her Arthritis is kicking up. I called the day before to make sure the me...
"Cari is my wife, partner, and best friend, but I am writing here to tell the world that as a criminal defense/appellate attorney, she is the most gifted, fierce, brilliant, and compassionate attorney that I have ever known. She is a champion for justice and a voice for people. Unlike many other attorneys who advertise that they handle appeals, Cari is truly an appellate attorney with numerous published opinions to boot. She has briefed cases all the way to the United States Supreme Court. Her oral arguments before our appellate courts are as persuasive and refined as her writing. I have watched as she persuaded our Court of Appeals to reverse a first degree murder conviction. Cari handles appeals, post-conviction relief matters, petitions for writ of habeas corpus, set asides, and restoration of rights cases. Most importantly, Cari gives people hope! If there is a way out of it, she will find it!"
"I have had the opportunity to both work as a associate attorney with Cari while at the same firm and to also represent co-defendants in cases since we have both begun our own firms. She was and continues to be an invaluable resource to me. She is my appellate "go to" on issues and procedure but a formidable opponent in court as well. Clients are lucky to have her on their side. Without reservation, I highly endorse Cari for her legal skills, her vast knowledge of the law and her passion in our field."
