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!).

I thank God for you!!!

I have nothing but good to say about Lisa. I needed a step-parent adoption and she handled it with grace. I would get so nervous or impatient and she would bring me down. If I had any questions she would answer them and send me the law link to back up what she said. She doesn't beat around the bu...sh but tells you how it is (good or bad). I knew I was in good hands and I trusted her. I thank God everyday that she was placed in my life. You can't find a better lawyer then Lisa!!!!

Peace of Mind

I went to Lisa 10 years ago with a very sensitive and private request. I needed to legally relinquish the paternity rights of my daughters father and then start adoption procedures so that her God father could legally adopt here. I was a single mother who was in emotional turmoil and I knew I was m...aking a decision that would effect my daughter for the rest of her life. Not only was Lisa extremely professional and informative she was also compassionate and sensitive to me and my daughters God father. She walked us through every step and handled things seamlessly. I know she had other clients but she gave us so much attention that we would have believed that we were her only clients. She handled our case quickly and at my daughters first birthday we were able to celebrate the adoption. Our lives have continued to be blessed because of the decision we made that year and we have never stopped thanking her for what she did. She was more than just a lawyer. I have recommended her to many of my friends since then and they all agree with me regarding the quality of service they receive from her.

Outstanding

I hired Attorney Carter to do an Adoption. It was a very emotional time and she was very patient and informative about the process. I usually have to ask a lot of questions as I find most people will give you basic information and leave it up to you to ask the necessary questions. I did not have to d...o this with her as she went above and beyond to make sure I was knowledgable and comfortable about the process. In this day and age, it is quite a pleasure to know that there are professionals out there who are who they say they are and do what they say they are going to do. I highly recommend Attorney Carter for any of your Family Law needs.

S, Brown long Term Client

Mrs Carter has been mine and my family legal representative for years Mrs Carter has handled many different matter myself, my family, and my friends have encountered. The legal needs I have experienced, ranges from adoption, name change credit disputes, wills, devorce, and countless amounts of legal... question and consultations. I can honestly say every single legal situation was handle with the upmost perfesionalizem and decorum. I can't honestly tell you that every situation ended as I would have wanted but I can tell you honestly that Mrs Carter kept me informed every step Of the way she made sure my family and I was aware of every thing. Mrs Carter is truly a pro in her perfesion and truly knows the law. Keep in mined if your looking for an attorney that knows what they are doing and won't quit until it's done then Attorney Carter is the right one for you and all your family legal needs.
