Knows her stuff

Carrie is a newer attorney but clearly very bright and capable. She is a former crime journalist and very adept at speaking to all parties involved and getting to the facts of the matter. She is professional and comfortable in the court room. She represented me when my brother (an attorney) filed a b...aseless case against me. The judge threw it out. Carrie was available to me by phone, email, and in person. She was even kind enough to meet me on a weekend near my home as I was ill at the time. I can't say enough good things about her and I'm forever grateful that I had her on my side during a very difficult time.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
