Got my charge dismissed without much fuss at all. Couldn’t have asked for a better result.
She’s excellent! Helped through the whole process, got things done! Would highly recommended to anyone!
Miss Carpenter took my complicated multiple DWI case. My case involved two DWI's in different parishes that were very close together in time. She worked closely with two different district attorney's offices and two separate judges to get me the best outcome possible. In fact, if it were not for Miss Carpenter, I could have recieved jail time. However, her excellent working relationships with both criminal courts gave me the most favorable outcome. I would highly recommend Elizabeth Carpenter.
I cannot speak highly enough about Attorney Carpenter. My boyfriend and his ex-wife are in a very nasty child custody case. She called the police, made false accusations, the officer failed to properly investigate the facts. Before we knew it, my boyfriend was being extradited to New Orleans to face felony charges. I called several other lawyers, even went so far as to hire another lawyer. It did not take long for me to realize the lawyer I hired was not the one for us. I was scared. We were afraid that he was going to end up with a criminal conviction and lose everything. When I spoke to Attorney Carpenter, she listened intently. When she spoke to me, she asked many questions. This case dragged on for well over a year. They kept trying to convince my boyfriend to accept a plea. Ms. Carpenter did not back down. She is smart, brave and intuitive. Thankfully, our nightmare came to an end. My boyfriend was found not guilty at a trial. Our entire family was there and we cried tears of joy. Thank you, Attorney. Carpenter. You are a blessing.
Mrs. Carpenter has been a valuable tool to assist me with my less than perfect driving skills. I have to work in and around New Orleans and often find myself with accumulating tickets for a variety of reasons....most not my fault. She has done a great job at dismissals and obtaining lighter fees. She is in my phone at the ready should I need her. I'm sure I will! Thank you Mrs. Carpenter!
I recently realized I had some past legal issues that we’re improperly handled. I needed a new attorney because the old one dropped the ball. I reached out to Ms. Carpenter and she was very patient and listened to my situation. I agreed to hire Ms. Carpenter and it could not have been a better choice. Her team walked me through every, kept me informed of the process and resolved my legal issues with no stress to me. This was a really stress free experience thanks to Ms. Carpenter and I recommend anyone with legal issues to reach out to her. I was very pleased with her services and happy that she was willing to help me.
Ms. Carpenter represented me in a civil case because I was the victim of a sexual assault. I cannot thank this lady enough. She is highly skilled, smart, and professional. She clearly loves her job. I was at a very low point in my life. Her strength and compassion helped me. My case was resolved very quickly and I am happy with the result. I was blessed to have her as my lawyer.
My lawyer. Elizibeth B. Carpenter was very professional and polite. I explained to her my situation with the court and how I needed my case dismissed as soon as possible. Ms. Carpenter and her office got my case resolved and gave me the results I was needed. Ms. Carpenter was very polite and kept informed every step of the way.
I just want to thanks for the excellent services provided, I’ll for sure will recommended the services of Elisabeth B Carpenter
Ms. Carpenter was extremely helpful in a time when I was in a difficult situation and also on vacation, so not on my home turf. She eased my mind that everything would likely be okay, and she delivered on that. Also, very fair pricing. I'd definitely recommend.
