BEST ATTORNEY

Mr Sizemore is the best attorney you can ever ask for!!! He is extremely knowledgeable and professional. Divorce is one of the hardest times you can ever go through. When it feels like your world has crushed and you are defeated the key to success is to find the right attorney. I was fortunate to f...ind Mr. Sizemore. He has very strong ethics and he can instantly lay out all the facts and guide you towards the right solution. He was very patient with me and explained all the complex legal concepts to make sure I fully understand everything. He always has his clients best interests and truly cares about you! On top of that he is very trustworthy, polite and has great sense of humor. I would sincerely recommend him to anyone without hesitation!

Great & Honest lawyer

He is a shark and will definitely fight for you. He sees the bigger picture even when you may not see it yourself and he will always be honest with you about the possible outcomes. A great lawyer at a great snd reasonable price.

Wouldn’t ask this guy or pay him to help.

I came to Carl about 3ish years ago now and just have been thinking about it a lot lately how he didn't help me! I paid him $1,000 retainer fee when I went to his office after signing papers and telling him I wanted his help. After that I only heard from him on the phone maybe once or twice. He m...issed my court hearing for my divorce and when I called him And told him about it (over a voice mail) he called me back and then left me a voice mail saying " he really needed to talk to me" I never bothered to call him back because WE ALREADY missed my case ( he never informed me about) my divorce was officially over because we missed my court hearing!! He literally took my retainer fee and forgot about my case for 8 months... and then I got screwed. I was going through moving and just wanted to be done with my divorce so I didn't make a fuss about it back then but looking back now I wish he would have just maybe given me my retainer fee back since he did NOTHING. Didn't help me one bit! WOULD NEVER RECOMMEND THIS DUDE . I still even have the voice mail. The date was from 7/7/16. I made sure to save it because I couldn't believe how he missed my hearing lol! Wow.

I was impressed

I had an opportunity to chat with Mr. Sizemore about an issue and he freely gave me his time and opinion, which I thought was a great indicator of how big his *heart* is! Thank you! As it happens, the issue resolved happily, but if it had not, I would have hired him! Thank you! Bun

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.
