Complete waste of money

In 2011, this so called lawyer christopher Carr cost me over $30,000.00 on a divorce. He not only gave me horrible advice during a child custody battle which cost me dearly , but he did not represent me well in court when he did show up. He showed up unprepared and lost my case. He walked out of the ...courtroom without a care in the world and since then my world has been turned upside down. Karma is something serious and I hope she visits you often. You are a crook in every sense of the word.

Amazing Attorney

I initially reached out to Me. Carr for just a question about getting a finale custody decree written and filed. He was extremely helpful and told me to reach out to him if I ever needed anymore help. I have hired him since first interaction and have been extremely grateful. I am dealing with a hi...gh conflict Case and having him there to help me has been such a relief. Mr. Carr is well organized and knows what he is doing.

Extremely helpful and compassionate

Attorney Carr is assisting me with a difficult case that involves a lot of research. He is patient, kind and very helpful. He always answers all my questions and makes me feel like i have someone ready and willing to fight for my rights in and outside the courtroom. I highly recommend Mr. Carr, he... is passionate about his work and it shows.

This review is from a potential client who consulted with this attorney.

Responsive, Knowledgeable, Intrepid.

I reached out, in one day, to three or four "five-star" lawyers on Avvo, including Christopher Carr, about a Las Vegas divorce for a 13 yr-old childless marriage of convenience. Carr was the first person to respond. He answered my questions thoughtfully, laying out my options very carefully. Two m...ore free consultative calls (he didn't bother to charge me though he could have) were made to go over some details. One of these calls was by my partner who wanted to come to her own firsthand judgment of Carr. I listened in the background, and Carr did not contradict himself on any questions he had discussed with me on prior calls. Whenever I reached out to him, he was open and ready to be helpful. The only reason I did not use his services on this case was because, being out-of-country (Canadian), potential clients, it was more convenient (financially) for me that I file for the divorce in the province in which I currently reside. I would definitely recommend Christopher Carr's legal services to prospective clients.

Absolutely Amazing

Attorney Chris Carr helped us gain full custody of our daughter. From the start, my wife and I felt relaxed and comfortable with Mr. Carr and he made us feel confidant about are case. I appreciate his attention to detail and attentiveness. I would refer him to anyone seeking a great attorney.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
