Honesty, integrity and personal injury law are terms not always used in the same sentence. At the Law Offices of Carl D. Barnes, we practice personal injury law a little differently. Personal service and results will never be outdated concepts in the practice of law, at least not at our firm. These values translate to a commitment to managing and litigating your case to ensure the highest level of client satisfaction while delivering optimal results through an appropriate verdict or settlement. Our personal injury lawyers ensure that all of our clients receive the guidance, counsel, and legal representation that they need in order to get the results that they deserve.

Maryland resident for over 35 years. In Law for over 20 years.

In 1994 I became a Paralegal servicing the Baltimore City area. I graduated Cum Laude from the University of Baltimore in 2000 with a Bachelors Degree in Jurisprudence. In 2003 I attained my Juris Doctorate and was accepted as an Attorney of the State of Maryland. I was a long-time employee of Potts & Potts, P.A. in Baltimore City. I handled Workers’ Compensation cases, Collections, and Miscellaneous Litigation first as a paralegal for nine years and then as an Associate Attorney for eight years. In 2012 I ventured on my own and currently sustain two office locations in Baltimore and Annapolis where I continue to service clients throughout Maryland. I look forward to many more years practicing Law and advising people in their personal injury affairs.
