Reviews

My review for David M. Carrera is from my personal experience. I contacted David Carrera in early August and spoke to him as I was searching for an attorney to represent a friend of mine who was seeking legal counsel and representation to have someone evicted from her home. Since she was going through hardships and a health scare, my husband and I stepped in to try to help her and hire a lawyer for her. Since we lived-on the west coast and she lived in Florida, she had a few questions/concerns about how it would work if we hired/paid for her lawyer. After initially, calling Mr. Carrera a couple of times and asking questions about the whole process of an eviction, he sent an Unlawful Detainer Agreement which included a payment for his service. Again, since we were waiting for her test results to come back, we did not fill out the retainer right away as she was waiting to see what decisions she would have to make if the test results were not in her favor. Thankfully, her results came back in her favor. We were very relieved. That was most important. We could then focus on moving on with the Unlawful Detainer process. I called Mr. Carrera back and left a voice message with 2 questions. No response from Mr. Carrera. I waited a few days and then called again and left another message. Again, no response from Mr. Carrera. Before, when I called, he had readily picked up the phone. Now, the phone just rang and went to voice mail. I called my friend in Florida about a week later. She told me that she also left a message for Mr. Carrera and was waiting for his return phone call. After my friend told me this, I sat down with my husband and told him that I don’t think Mr. Carrera was going to call back because he is not returning our phone calls. Just in case, we had found another attorney for the Unlawful Detainer. However, I wanted to make sure that I wasn’t just being too hasty. So, I went to the website where I initially contacted Mr. Carrera, and sent him an e-mail. I stated that we had 2 questions and reminded him that we still had the Unlawful Detainer Agreement that he had emailed to us. I let him know that we were ready to move forward with his services and ready to sign the agreement and send in the payment through the email that he had previously sent to me. That e-mail was sent to him on Friday. The next day, Saturday morning, he responded to my e-mail. He stated that that he was withdrawing his offer of representation for my friend in Florida. Whatever Mr. Carrera’s reasons are for not representing my friend are his reasons and I respect his decision. I definitely want someone that wants to represent her in this case. What I don’t respect is Mr. Carrera not returning and also ignoring our phone calls. This went on for over 2 weeks. As soon as Mr. Carrera knew that he did not want to represent her, he should have gotten in touch with us and let us know instead of wasting our time calling someone who obviously had no interest in this case or representing my friend. This review is not about a lawyer that has decided to not take a case. For the people that Mr. Carrera has/and will represent, I am sure that he has done and will do an outstanding job representing his clients. For me, I cannot respect someone that chooses to obviously ignore my phone calls in hopes that I will just go away. I cannot respect someone that is not being upfront, wasting my time, and not letting us know that he is not interested in taking the case. A true professional will communicate. In my case, there was a lack of communication from Mr. Carrera.

We had hired David to do our living wills! Mr. Carrrera was very professional organize.

David is easy to work with and has a quick system setup to getting a Will in place. We plan on using him for our next steps of Estate Planning.

David Carrera represented me on my Chapter 7. I was very confused about making this decision. I went to discuss, and get a consultation. He explained all options and advised which one was best for my situation. Mr. Carrera was very professional. very easy to understand. The process was easy and quick, and even after the process Mr. Carrera was helpful and answer all the questions I had even after the case was close. I have referred Mr. Carrera to other clients and I will keep referring him to anyone. I trust him and if I had another legal matter I will come back to him.

I strongly recommend David Carrera as attorney, good and quick work, all questions treated, fair price

Mr. Carrera was prompt and knowledgeable in this eviction case. We were comfortable in knowing that any question we had, no matter how trivial would be handled in a professional manner.

Mr. Carrera did not try to upsell me when all I needed was a court response to a foreclosure we had previously resolved. Refreshing to deal with this kind of an attorney .

From my first conversation with David, I was thrilled with his speed and accuracy. David not only led me through the judicial system, he negotiated with the mortgage company at the same time. David was able to not only stop the foreclosure and eventually get it thrown out of court, but also set me up for the short sale process, help get a tenant removed that was no longer paying rent, get the HOA to help clear up some items as well. He was very reasonable with his pricing and payment methods. I would use David again for anything related to the law. Thank you for your help!

To whom it may concern Thank you for sharing your time with me. I am writing this note in order to express my gratitude and excellent work done throughout the time on my foreclosure and loan modification process of the attorney Mr. David Carrera. Mr. David Carrera has demonstrated the highest level of professionalism, care, understanding and very detail oriented to achieve the best results to my case throughout this past year 2014 – 2015. Mr. David Carrera is a great asset to our community and to society in general, his level of care for his clients is to be noted. He was always in communication with any updates which makes things less stressful on this type of cases. I have a very good knowledge of the legal system and having legal family members makes me understand Lawyers better. (My wife a former member of the Florida Bar herself for 8 years). However not all lawyers are alike, and I have my shares of very bad lawyers in my time. On behalf of my family I wanted to thank Mr. David Carrera from the bottom of my heart and as my daughters said “Thank goodness for people like our lawyer” I will always be thank full and will not hesitate to refer his services to anyone at any time. Thank you for being a loyal part of our family this year. Warmest Regards, Nelson & Maria
