Dissatisfied more often than note.

I Was with this law office for about a year, almost two when Chris Carter voluntarily signed off on my case due to my inability to make higher payments than what I was at the time paying, of $100.00 a month. I paid all I could manage financially, since he allowed via the judge to order that I pay my ...child's full private school tuition. The day he signed off on my case, Chris told me specifically that I could leave, "there's no court today." Which resulted in the judge ordering me to pay the ex back $400.00 and up to a total of close to $14,000.00 for criminal attorney fees and the crooked, court ordered monitor that my P.I. Caught breaking the rules of supervised visitation and carrying on a relationship. Chris should've fought harder in court for my child and I. Mr. Carter could've told the judge that we didn't want supervised visitation lifted, but that the judge look at the P.I. Evidence against the NCP (non custodial parent/respondent) and the crooked, court ordered visitation supervisor, but he did not. The money I've been ordered by the court to pay the ex, could've gone to paying Mr. Carter however, I'm now only able to afford a lesser payment than what I had been paying him initially as a result. Mr. Carter's office stopped sending me statements for payments and I had so much going on at that time that I'd forget to make a payment, he ended up suing me for around $7,000 - $8,000, he won, because the judgement was made in my absence, I was at work during the hearing. I'm thankful to Chris Carter for the best thing he ever did for my case, which was to divorce the ex and I.

Asset in the Courtroom

I Retained Mr. Carter after interviewing (2) other family law attorney's. I found Mr. Carter to be extremely knowledgeable and thorough in his explanation of my concerns for my legal needs. Through the duration of my case he was punctual and quick in responding to me calls, and questions. I was very ...thankful for the kindness his staff always extended to me during this very trying time as well as being extremely efficient and prompt. I highly recommend this law firm for any of your legal needs.

Resounding Success

I am just now wrapping up a 4 year grueling divorce case. I had previous council that came highly recommended and had a matching fee schedule. Within a very short time I had burned through $10,000 of fees and had nothing in the way of results to show for it. After a short period of going it alone ...I was forced to retain council once again. I retained Chris Carter and I am very glad that I did. Chris is a regular guy that is very plain spoken and will tell you what you need to hear rather than what you would like to hear. He represents his clients aggressively. He does not hesitate to show a little emotion in the court room when necessary. His knowledge of the of both Family and Civil law were invaluable in my situation. He quite literally made opposing council look foolish in court by correcting their novice interpretation of the law. The bottom line is simple. When you are shopping for an attorney you need a few basic things. Knowledge/Experience - He is a second generation attorney. It's been his whole life! Communication - Plain English without all the BS. Financially Efficient - You get results for what you pay. Proven Success - Plain and simple, Chris wins. I had the attorney with the plush office and all the bells and whistles. They took my money and were offended when I questioned their effectiveness and results. I would much rather have the second generation attorney working out of the same office building that his father built 40 plus years ago. Chris is regular guy that gets you the results you want at a fair price because he doesn't waste your fees on all the frills. Lastly, and I cannot over state this, you will feel like a member of his family. He takes you and the case personally. He feels your pain and gets just as frustrated as you do. In a tough case you want a competent attorney that feels the same gravity as you.

Mr. Carter is well worth your time!

After several face to face interviews with other lawyers I chose Mr. Carter to be my attorney in what I thought to be a very difficult family law case. There is nothing easy about dividing up lives in a court room however I was able to walk in with the confidence. Mr. Carter is very professiona...l, knowledgeable and articulate. He made it possible to get through what seemed impossible. I want to thank Mr. Carter again for taking such good care of me and my girls.
