I highly recommend The Carnahan Law Firm

I was interrogated for several hours and then arrested on serious felony charges. I was then booked into jail. I had never been arrested in my life and I was very confused and scared. No one told me what was going to happen to me and I feared the worst for my life. Luckily, my family contacted... Andres and twenty minutes later he was at the jail talking to me about my case. He helped get me released from jail and after that first meeting, I felt confident that my case was in good hands. Andres was available at all hours of the day to answer any questions that I had. He was knowledgeable and explained my situation in an easy to understand manner. For someone like me, who is not familiar with the law and who was facing serious felony charges, this was comforting. After hiring Andres, I was able to move on with my life and return to my daily activities. I was extremely pleased with the outcome of my case. I will not hesitate to hire Andres again if I ever have any legal issues in the future. I highly recommend The Carnahan Law Firm.

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.
