introduction

The firm seeks to provide its clients with the very best representation with each legal issue which confronts them. Such representation is accomplished by applying vast knowledge and legal expertise, including more than 25 years of trial experience, to each client’s specific legal issue. The firm’s goal is to get the best possible result for every client in every case.

The desire to provide competent and vigilant representation for clients stems from Attorney Carter’s experience of seeing innocent people convicted of crimes because the criminal justice system failed them. Such failures devastate the person wrongfully convicted and his or her loved ones as well. Attorney Carter always zealously advocates for his client to address flaws in the system so that judges and jurors understand that a charge does not always mean guilt.
