Lisa "Bulldawg" Carter

I have known Lisa for 12 years and anytime I have needed her assistance with a court matter, she has NEVER let me down. She is currently working on something for me and I always stay open and honest with her, with no judgement received. She can be the nicest attorney you'll meet, but she doesn't get ...her nickname "Bulldawg" for no reason. She will slay anyone in a courtroom. She knows her stuff, and if she will research anything and everything for your hearing BEFORE she steps foot in that courtroom to represent you. She's handled my civil matters of modifications, but the biggest one she handled was the adoption of my son. It was the smoothest process and I did everything she asked me to, which she did in return. Within a few months, we were at the courthouse, taking photos with my son and the judge! The case she is handling for me now is a big one, but I have no doubt in my mind she will do whatever she can to protect my child. She always has the best interest of her clients in mind and nothing else matters. Thank you Lisa, for everything you have done and will do (hopefully no more after this, ha!).

She was on top of it from the start and got me everything I wanted!

First of all, I would like to thank Mrs. Carter for helping me through a very difficult time in my life when I decided to get a divorce. I called Mrs. Carter who was referred to me by another friend; she was always very personable, knowledgeable, compassionate, and assuring during our conversations ...on the phone, in person, or via email. She always explained everything to me so that I understood what was happening and when. She was very efficient and processed all of the paper work very quickly. But don’t be fooled… Mrs. Carter was a bulldog in court… experienced, very sharp and pretty smart too…wow…!!! She took care of everything for me.
