"You can do it!"
I met with Carrie today regarding a very challenging employment situation. I went in feeling beat down and fearful. I left feeling informed, empowered and confident in what my next steps need to be. Carrie is extremely intelligent and quickly grasps the details and uses her extensive knowledge to shine light. She answered my questions, validated my feelings and helped me find the words to communicate to my employer. She made me feel she believed in my ability to take action and she helped me see things from a different perspective. She actually assured me that "You can do it!" and gave me the information and tools to take the next steps. I am extremely impressed with her kindness, down-to-earth style, and brilliance. She is worth the cost of a consultation and I would turn to her again if I needed legal help. I highly recommend her!

Up to the task
Carrie Coppinger Carter and Karen Phillips handled my very difficult discrimination case. I had never been thru anything like this before. I needed a team that would be aggressive, detail oriented as well as a hand holder when emotions ran high, a cheerleader when it felt I could not go on. There was a great deal of information to be discovered and they were up to the task. I knew it was the right decision for me the moment I walked into their office and the office manager was warm and geniune when greeting me. From that point on I felt someone had my best interest foremost and would be there every step along the way. At the end of the day, I felt supported, empowered and back to being me.

Former Clent
Ms. Coppinger Carter and staff did a wonderful job for me. I would recommend Carrie Coppinger Carter to others. She is an excellent attorney and is very concerned with her clients well-being and with the settlement of their cases. Her staff is excellent as well. I would not hesitate to use her services again and would recommend her to others who are in need of legal representation.

Prompt & Efficient
My husband and I used Ms. Coppinger Carter for our case regarding a motor vehicle accident that we had in the US 4 years ago. We are Canadian citizens and needed to find a US attorney as our previous attorney abandoned our case. We were referred to Ms. Coppinger Carter and have been very impressed with her work. Our case was going off the rails as our previous attorney had made some mistakes and Ms. Coppinger Carter was able to not only put the train back on the rails, she was also able to settle our case without going to court. We believe this would not have happened without her expertise, knowledge and professionalism. We would highly recommend her to anyone seeking legal assistance. Ron & Judy

Client Review
My case was a little odd as I am a Canadian citizen and was dealing with a US establishment. Carrie took my case and was very honest from the very beginning. She had a hard time tracking down the owners of the establishment, but with perserverance she found then and some time, she got a very nice settlement for me.
I would definately recomment this lawyer to any on my friends that were in need of a great lawyer.
