Scott O Carter

All I wanted from my consultation was advice to see what my options were. I knew my outcome wouldn't be in my favor. What I didn't know is that I would be treated like garbage. This guy has a serious attitude problem and a serious sense of entitlement that is disgusting. I don't appreciate his tone, ...or the way he delivered his legal opinions. Don't see Scott unless you want to leave feeling even worse than you already have.

Mr. Carter is an amazing attorney who knows how to get things accomplished. Being from out-of-town, I was unfamiliar with every aspect of who to hire, the court system, etc. He and his office were so professional, relaxed, informative, and thorough. He even saved me a trip back and wrapped up the ...case and details. I was relieved of not having to face it myself. His gentle, wise way was so reassuring and successful. He's reasonably priced and his background shows in his work ethics. I thank him for all his doings.

Scott helped me tremendously! I was in desperate need of advice and had no where to turn, he was my husbands lawyer previously with a situation like mine so i turned to him. He answered everyone of my questions very thoroughly and then some. He told me in the beginning that if i retained him, he woul...d get me everything i "needed" but not necessarily everything i "wanted". Well, he did just that! I am very happy with his work and thank him more than ever for helping and successfully getting my little girl back where she belongs!

I was charged with attempted murder, assault 1 and unlawful use of a weapon. I was facing 10 years minimum, a possible 16 I believe if the sentences ran consecutive. Scott presented the facts of the case to the prosecution. Culpability of the victim for use of a knife against me. Prior criminal... history of the victim. That it took place in my family members home. That the victim was a stranger, this was not a domestic dispute. The fact that I had a concealed handgun permit, and that I had no priors. I was offered 5 years probation and a suspended sentence. Scott wanted to go to trial, but did advise me that there was a small chance as always of course of a conviction. With the insane Orwellian measure 11 system in place of mandatory minimums vs sentencing based on mitigating circumstances, I of course took the deal vs rolling the dice. I walked out of jail with time served, based on Scott Carters "lawyering". With any other local attorney, I would have served time in prison by my estimation. Based on what I seen while serving time in the jail, and how many of the inmates were ignored by their lawyers, and given terrible deals. Scott won't give you a hug and hold your hand and tell you it will al be ok, he is tough. But he is also tough in the court room, when things start to go south and they try to "throw in a little prison time" all of a sudden. I only dealt with him once I must admit, but bottom line, I at least know if you are facing massively trumped up charges and/or are innocent, hire this man and he will do his best to keep you out of prison. I don't KNOW how he is if you are stone cold guilty, but he also had a good reputation in the jail for defending those people to the fullest as well.
