I consulted with Mr. Carver on a legal case that I am thinking about pursuing. Mr. Carver was very responsive to the questions that I asked, and was very punctual in returning my e-mails. I will definitely hire Mr. Carver if my need for his service is required.

Hired Tom 12 hours after my first arrest in my life. From the very beginning Tom and his law firm treated me like a Human, not an inmate. Over the next 6 months Tom did and said everything he would. If Tom said he'd get something done or figure something out for me, he did. When Tom wasn't available he always had somebody who was. Tom went out of his way many times to help be during this rough time even during his vacation and holidays. Tom has 44+ years of experience. Everyone knows Tom. He's extremely well respected in the Court room and among his peers. When your life really depends on who you have to represent you, Tom is who you need.

Our family hired Mr. Carver for an issue regarding fraud and our business. One of our ex-employees had been opening up credit accounts without our knowledge. It was terrible for our credit and hurt the business. We were accused of fraud, it was an experience I never want to go through again. Mr. Carver helped us through this difficult period and ensured we kept the business. I can't thank him and his colleagues enough for their help, we truly appreciate it!
