Melissa D Carter

Melissa and her team did a great job in managing and fighting for my health and well being with the insurance companies. The party at fault was underinsured and my PIP did not cover anywhere near the cost of my treatment. Plus, the company where I worked was bought by a different company and subseque...ntly I lost my job and had to find a new one - while dealing with a concussion and many other injuries. Melissa handled 4 different insurers during the course of my treatment. I could never have done that without her. I could not read, remember or plan with a concussion, let alone dealing with all the insurances. She made it so easy for me which helped my family, too.

From the minute I hired Melissa she went 100 MPH on my case. She returned all of my calls and emails within hours, was always one step ahead of the insurance company and had a game plan from day one. Melissa is the most competent, professional Attorney I have ever had the pleasure of working with. We... settled with my full amount well before I expected too. I HIGHLY recommend Melissa Carter, you will not be disappointed.

A friend referred me to Melissa Carter after my car accident in January of 2015. Even though the police report showed the person who hit me was 100% at fault, their insurance company questioned me extensively. I got the distinct feeling they were going to be difficult to work with. The crash wa...s at a high speed, so it took me over a year of rehabilitation to return to my former activities, like running, hiking and gardening. Melissa was an amazing lawyer who helped me through the entire process. I was very pleased with my settlement amount and owe it all to Melissa! I’ve thanked my friend profusely for the wonderful referral!

I was hit by a car in a crosswalk, slam dunk you’d think but it wasn’t. After the woman hit me she got out of her car and stated that it was all her fault, she said that she had looked to the left but not the right. Later, when she was interviewed by a police officer, she stated that I appear...ed out of nowhere, that it wasn’t her fault. The officer did not interview me as I was being treated by an aid car. He wrote it up as equally my fault and hers. She didn’t receive a ticket. Later I checked the online statement and found what he’d done. I phoned the officer and he was mean; he told me I could write a statement and bring it in. I did that. He never filed the statement. Melissa Carter was recommended to me and I met with her and her assistant Rachel Maguda. I was so upset by the whole situation, and my ongoing physical problems, I informed them that I wanted them to handle it all and keep me out of it as much as possible. Melissa Carter’s private investigator found a witness – miraculous -- and she had the same statement as mine. Melissa Carter was able to talk the police officer into opening the case so that I could submit a statement, she submitted it for me. Melissa Carter and her team cheered with me when the witness was found and were supportive and kind through the entire ordeal, through both the perpetrator’s and my own insurance settlements. When I received the settlement and billing information I was happily surprised at how little was charged for the amount of work that was done. They worked miracles to help me. I HIGHLY recommend Melissa Carter and her team at Adler Geirsch. They are ethical, efficient, and kind.

What can I say about Melissa that has not already been said about candy and all things heavenly; she is FANTASTIC! My wife was involved in a motor vehicle accident that greatly changed both of our lives forever. Melissa and the team at Adler Geirsch have exceeded our expectations from day 1. Melis...sa and team went to bat for us and worked incredibly hard throughout the process. I was really worried how the process would play out with the insurance companies as today's laws are heavily in favor of insurance companies (not the people most hurt in accidents). Melissa fought for us and used her extensive knowledge to get us everything she could. In the end, her attention to detail, abundance of knowledge, caring demeanor and overall likability got us what we wanted. Wouldn't dare go with another lawyer or another firm if ever faced with such a hardship.
