This review is from a person who hired this attorney.
| Hired Attorney
Best Medical Malpractice Lawyer
I can't say enough about Allegra Carpenter. Although nothing can bring my sister back, Allegra - following the worst tragedy our family could have experienced - brought justice for us. Allegra was willing to take on our case, which other lawyers had rejected due to its challenges, and championed my sister's cause against multiple powerful entities and individuals. Allegra always believed in us and went the extra mile to explore every legal and factual avenue to success. She believes strongly about changing bad and dangerous practices to make the world a safer and better place for everyone. She is a true warrior.
