Speeding ticket

Carl was very understanding and polite. He worked with me and understood exactly what I wanted and helped me with those goals. He is very organized and professional in his work. Not only did he explain the speeding ticket process, he provided me with best and worst case scenarios and exactly what he ...was going to do to reach that best case scenario. He understood that I was a student and worked in a timely manner and nothing was last minute. In the end, we won our case and I am very happy with his work.

Could not be better. Thankful we found him.

We we're in deep financial trouble with a home foreclosure, credit card issues, and one year's big IRS bill. I found, by luck, Carl's website which had some very helpful information. After meeting him, judging his integrity and professional but friendly manner, hired Carl. He was perfect. Very thankf...ul. Whole thing took about a few months, at a very fair price.

Small Claims Collection Advice

Mr. Starrett II sent me a link to a blog he'd written on collecting in SC court. It was concise and also in English as spoken by average citizens. I am very grateful for his advice and I intend to implement it next year. (interest is accrued over time, which will be most unpleasant for the defendant... who refuses to pay)

HONEST CHRISTIAN LAWYER

Carl is a good, honest hard working man. With a death in my family, mounting medical bills and a hole too deep to drag myself out of, Carl showed me a way to rekindle my life. I can't promise you that he can do the same thing for you but consultations are free and the man is up-front and honest.

"I endorse this lawyer. Why? Because as a person filing bankruptcy , you don't know what type of attorney you are meeting with usually if no background checks. This attorney provides accurate and detailed answers to Avvo debtors..which shows he has the knowledge and expertise to provide you accurate information. All of us attorneys know attorneys we would never refer a family member to and others who we would refer them to. You should want this type of attorney so you know you are taken care of. I suggest you discuss your case with him first; you can always obtain a second opinion but I am confident you wont want to."

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education

  • 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.
