A weight off my shoulders

Eugene Carson took a weight off my shoulders. I got myself into a sticky situation and was possibly going to be charged with a felony. Because of Mr. Carson’s expertise and dedication to my case he was able to get it reduced to an infraction! No probation and small $100 fine. Eugene was extremely pro...fessional and very easy to talk to. I would refer him to anyone seeking legal representation. Thank you again Eugene, I appreciate you!

To whom it may concern.

Eugene was my attorney doing a difficult time in my life I was looking at 3 to 4 years prison term. He work hard and help me actually ended up with 3 months house arrest and all the program that comes with it. Not only was he a friend he was there for me through a difficult time, he made sure that I... was ok. He work directly with me and even the judge said you better thank your lawyer cuz he did a lot of work cuz it could have been really really bad for me that was my third offense but thank God and the work of Eugene am able to go to work and be with my family. Im not saying what I'm going through is easy but it's better. So if you're looking for a lawyer that will work with you on $$$ cost, your case he's the one.

DA is offering you a Wet-Reckless.....How about getting it Dismissed

I was charged with two misdemeanors for driving under the Influence and attempting to leave the scene of an accident in 2012. I suffered a work injury the year prior which resulted in me being diagnosed with Post-Concussion Syndrome. My symptoms mimicked being under the influence during the time of m...y accident. I was taking prescribed medication from my treating Physician and was being closely monitored. I immediately hired a private attorney who was encouraging me to plea bargain to a wet reckless driving charge. I would not agree to the plea bargain and decided to consult with another attorney approximately a year later. I later retained Attorney Eugene Carson who fought continuously for my case. He supported that my Post-Concussion Syndrome was a valid reason for my accident. Mr. Carson fought the legal system for approximately a year and a half. After dealing with several District Attorney’s he was able to get my case completely dismissed. I owe Mr. Carson because he saved me from not having a criminal record and my career. He vigorously defended me and was always available by phone when I needed to speak with him regarding my case. If you are looking for an excellent criminal defense attorney I would highly recommended Attorney Eugene Carson.

Great lawyer and very easy to talk to!

Eugene Carson was very professional and very easy to to talk. He always answered all my questions and gave me good advice . It actually felt like he cared and it wasn't all about the money . He sent a letter to the DA and proved my innocence causing my charges to be dropped . Saved my life . Would d...efinitely recommend Eugene Carson to anybody who needs a great lawyer .

Above the rest- SUPERIOR ATTORNEY!!!!!!-Former Deputy District Attorney Got my case DISMISSED!!!

Mr. Carson is a former Riverside County Deputy District Attorney. I highly recommend him to handle any legal matter! My case was dismissed based on his astute knowledge of the criminal justice system. He was very aggressive and always available to answer any questions I had 24/7. It is good to ha...ve an attorney that is personable and caring when you are caught up in the criminal justice system.

Family lawyer | Aug 20

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"I endorse this lawyer. I recently had the pleasure with working with Mr. Carson on a family law matter; the fear often in handling family law matters from an attorney's perspective is that opposing counsel will be especially difficult to deal with; however, this was not the case with Mr. Carson, him and I were able to take very contentious issues and meet and confer in an effective way for our clients; I was thoroughly impressed by Mr. Carson's ability to listen, his legal acumen but most importantly his willingness to find the best possible solution to the legal issues before him for his client. If you are looking for a passionate, skilled family law attorney look no further to Mr. Carson."
