Pros
1
Highly responsive and available to clients, even on weekends and holidays
“Peter Carini is the first and only attorney I've ever contacted who actually answered his own phone - immediately, on a Sunday.”
2
Provides clear, helpful guidance and insight, even for matters the lawyer may not directly handle
“He was totally straightforward as to whether it would be worth my while to hire him and explained how I could instead advocate for myself.”
3
Achieves excellent legal outcomes for clients, including getting charges reduced or dismissed
“Consequently, the end result of hiring Mr. Carini was all charges dismissed and no license suspension. I couldn't recommend Peter more highly for criminal defense in Southern OR.”
4
Demonstrates strong knowledge, preparation, and negotiation skills in the courtroom
“Peter walked me through each step of the diversion requirements until I completed it after 12 months.”
5
Compassionate and honest in his approach, putting client's interests first
“Peter is an exceptionally honest and decent human being, and I am so thankful he answered my call.”
Cons
1
Lack of responsiveness and poor client communication
“Never returned my call”
2
Potential issues with preparation and attention to detail in some cases
“There were literally MULTIPLE times in the courtroom this guy couldn't even remember my NAME (he had to refer to his papers, no joke), much less the specifics of the case.”
3
Concerns about overcharging for services
“Don't waste your time or money. He spent nearly zero time on my case (maybe an hour and a half), told me I would be in jail for 3 days (imagine my surprise when I was sentenced to 30), and neglected to inform me of ANY of the potential ramifications of this judgment.”
