Very Pleased

I contracted the firm of Harold Carr to handle a claim for a car accident recently. The case itself was small but important to me because I found dealing with the other insurance company was difficult. The time between contracting Carr's firm and complete resolution was much shorter than I expected.... I received more settlement than if I had taken the insurance company's offer. I consider that a great win.

Excellent Lawyer

Mr Carr is an excellent lawyer. He, and all his staff, are not only good lawyers they are also good, and caring people. I would recommend him to anyone. He will go above and beyond to get you anything he can.

Great Representation

After an injury my child suffered, Mr. Carr was able to get right to work and handle his case with the most care. My child now has a CD in his name that he will be able to use once he is 18. Thank you Mr. Carr!

Made the best out of a difficult case...

I enjoyed working with the attorney Michael Montgomery and talking with Harold Carr. While my case didn't have the desired result, it was sufficient for my needs and I believe we had a biased arbitrator who aided the prosecuting attorney against me. I would recommend and seek this firm again if I eve...r have the need.

Incompetent so I fired them, now put a lien against me for $16K so doing virtually zero work

Where do I begin? I gave them many chances to make it right, but finally I had to move on to an attorney who would actually help me with my case. Complaints: 1. unprofessional - Harold Carr was over 20 min late to our scheduled phone session. He left a voicemail and charged me for that. The lega...l assistant scheduled another phone meeting for a time we did not agree upon and I got charged for that. One of the legal assistants told my chiropractic office to ignore a rejected charge and leave it for "patient responsibility". No attorney's office should be giving that advice. This comes out of my settlement at the end, which won't be much anyway after all the outstanding bills I have to pay and the cut that the office gets. 2. egregious billing - like I said, Harold put a lien against me for over $16K for very minimal work (my spouse and I did most of the back and forth with the providers and insurance companies). I counted almost 400 individual charges of $31.25 for literally opening an email, reading 1-2 sentences (or replying 1-2 sentences). This does NOT take 15 minutes and this is legal assistant rates. This alone totals to $12K of the insane amount of the lien. Very unusual and questionable practice for contingency cases. They also charged me for a "free" consultation. I'm guessing this is the only way they make money on cases is to do horrible work until the client fires them and then they can send a lien for some absurd amount. I wish I'd read their ratings before retaining them. Overall, it has been a terrible and stressful experience.
