This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Review of Estate Plan

Mr. Carico reviewed my mother's estate plan, I had some tax questions and possibly needing some updates with impending life events. He was very helpful in assessing what we needed to do immediately and how my mother could proceed with changes. Updated the estate plan, everyone was very helpful and re...sponsive. Would highly recommend.

He Gets the Job Done

We went to two other attorneys to handle our case, and after wasting many months and huge expenses we were about to give up. Then a friend referred us to Chris and within a few months he solved our problem. He is sharp as a tack and writes great letters that produce results. He's fair, knows the l...aw, and earns the respect of opposing attorneys.

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.
