Carisa did what was necessary to complete her job. Filed motions, did the paperwork.
She really wanted me to plead guilty. Told me to take the first deal.
When I informed her I would not be taking a plea deal the conversation got heated. She raised her voice and told me “When this blows up in your face I will know I did my job”
She sent me 2nd opinions from other defense attorneys recommending I take the plea deal.
I declined.
A week later the plea was cut in half and i declined again.
Months later as my trial approached she did an excellent job. She was in contact and planning a defense. She was filling motions to have evidence suppressed and trying to work with witnesses.
She had good insight and helped me a lot.
In the end my case was dismissed. I knew that it would be as a jury convection was not probable. I’m glad I trusted myself. She put a lot of pressure on me to take a deal.
I have full faith she would have defended me in court to the best of her ability if we had made it there.

Very helpful, informative and she answered my questions thoroughly and accurately.
I've personally had Carisa as my attorney almost a decade ago and she did a great job for me then as well.
I definitely recommend Mrs. Acker.

Carisa was excellent in handling all of my appointments with the legal system, keeping me informed of the proceedings, and, ultimately, minimizing and resolving my challenge. She's the best!!

I received a DUI, my first and only one. I called Ms. Acker that next morning, and she guided me through the complex legal process doing all she could to help me while being realistic about the outcomes. She also helped me find ways to do my community service and to attend alcohol classes. She never made me feel like a bad person, but rather built me up and helped me recognize my potential. I felt her representation was professional and her treatment of me, personal.

I divorced several years ago but did not request a name change. Now I wish I had. Carisa encouraged me to do what I wanted and is helping me navigate all the necessary paperwork. She explains clearly what is needed and helps me get it done. I also think her fees are quite reasonable.

My experience with Ms. Acker was exceptional! She was personally concerned about my situation and the outcome. She was so professional and still compassionate. My case was handled with dignity, and I was treated with the utmost respect. I'm so happy with my choice of attorney. I had heard so many horror stories about people getting really terrible attorneys that didn't seem to work hard or care about their personal situation. Ms. Acker had plenty of resources to direct me to in order to help me not just get through the case, but also the repercussions of it an how it was affecting my daily life. I felt like I wasn't going through that awful situation alone. She was a bulldog in the courtroom and was actually able to argue the minimum for me. I was so pleased with the outcome! I would absolutely recommend her to any and everyone.
