Profession and Precise

My fiancé and I hired Scott for a rough custody case involving my step daughter and he handled it dilegntly. He was very sensitive to our wants and needs throughout the entire case. He is a professional straight forward aggressive attorney who knows the laws first hand. The case ended in our favor. ...I am highly satisfied with his service!

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"Scott Carter has over twenty years' experience in criminal law as a former prosecutor and as a defense attorney in Klamath County. He knows the law, he has an excellent understanding of the Klamath legal landscape as far as the local judges and prosecutors are concerned. If I were ever accused of a crime, I would be in the best of hands if Scott O. Carter accepted my case. I recommend him highly for anything from simple misdemeanors to complicated high-stakes felony cases."

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.
