Pros
1
Knowledgeable and experienced attorney who provides excellent legal services
“Mr Carter helped me retain my visitation with my grandchildren. He fought for my rights & showed the statutes proved my case. I highly recommend Mr Carter & his staff for any situation you may have! A++++++++”
2
Helpful in navigating complex legal situations, such as divorce and child custody
“I found myself needing a divorce after 24 years of marriage. Needless to say I was overwhelmed. Mr Carter was amazing and helped me navigate unknown waters. I didn't know what I didn't know; however, he guided me to the best possible outcome.”
3
Responsive and attentive to clients' questions and concerns
“Anytime I called with a question, either he or his paralegal, Angela, were there to answer my questions and fears!”
4
Effective in resolving child custody and support issues
“Doug not only responded very quickly and put the "dead beat dad" in jail but he knew the strings to pull to keep him there until the "dead beat dad" either straightened up or signed over rights.”
Cons
1
Potential issues with client communication and alignment of expectations
“I paid to have a consultation with him and he ended up giving me advice that led me into getting arrested for parental interference. After the arrest he would not talk to me unless I paid him ”
2
Possible bias or favoritism towards opposing parties in some cases
“I had a simple case for mediation for a change in visitation schedule between myself and ex husband. Mr. Carter kept telling me how it would be SO simple for me to gain child support and keep my primary custody....WRONG. We get into mediation and MY lawyer gets chummy with my ex and I wind up with almost nothing in child support AND I lost 1/2 custody to my ex because Mr. Carter talked a good talk when I hired him but did not walk the walk when needed.”
