What started in a one-room office has grown into Connecticut’s largest personal injury law firm with six, fully staffed offices across the state. “We’re big enough to go against any insurance company but small enough to care about our clients,” said Carter. “Our growth has been possible because of the excellence, care, and compassion with which we have served thousands of clients. Everything we do is about putting clients first,” Carter said. “That is the foundation of the firm. I love when the representation ends with a fully satisfied client that we have helped to make a positive difference in their life.” “I have built my career on helping injured individuals to rebuild their lives. That’s what brought me to focus my practice on personal injury. No two personal injury clients or cases are exactly the same. Each one of us has a different story to tell. That’s why I create a personalized, comprehensive strategy in order to secure the best possible outcome for each client after they have been injured due to the negligence of another person. I strive to ensure that our clients get what they truly deserve.” Throughout his legal career, Carter has received numerous awards for his legal abilities and impressive track record, including being featured in books and numerous publications that highlight top businesses focusing on culture and customer experience.
