5.0 out of 5 stars

My family overwhelmingly recommends the Law Firm of Carney, Gaudet and Carney, to any person/s needing advocacy and facing criminal charges. This team of experts has been a beam of hope to my family, not once, but twice, and during times when the likelihood of an advantageous resolution appeared untenable. From the first filings to the final judgements, these attorneys provided an outstanding defense from unjust accusations. Additionally, their counsel, comportment, skill sets, perseverance and strategies, offered the emotional supports needed for our family to persist through two cases. Further, their expertise of state and federal mandates helped to raise the inequities both in the charges and in the laws. We are infinitely grateful to Attorneys J.W. Carney and Nat Carney for helping to protect our loved one?s future. If you are seeking a top-notch criminal defense Law Firm that works diligently to defend you and/or your loved one/s, then look no further. Carney, Gaudet and Carney is the Law Firm you want, and more importantly, the one you need.

Put simply, attorney Nat Carney saved my life. I was charged with 2 crimes that I did not commit. It was a really upsetting and exhausting experience that seemed hopeless. His competence was the only beacon of light the entire way. He utilized his knowledge and experience to make several moves that ultimately led to the dismissal of both charges. And it was abundantly clear he was doing more than "meeting his obligations". He knew I was not guilty, and it drove him to will the perfect outcome into existence. Thank you Mr. Carney.

How do I choose a lawyer?

Consider the following:

Comfort Level
- Are you comfortable telling the lawyer personal information? Does the lawyer seem interested in solving your problem?

Credentials
- How long has the lawyer been in practice? Has the lawyer worked on other cases similar to yours?

Cost
- How are the lawyer's fees structured - hourly or flat fee? Can the lawyer estimate the cost of your case?

City
- Is the lawyer's office conveniently located?

Not sure what questions to ask a lawyer?

Here are a few to get you started:

  • How long have you been in practice?
  • How many cases like mine have you handled?
  • How often do you settle cases out of court?
  • What are your fees and costs?
  • What are the next steps?

Want to check lawyer discipline?

It is always a good idea to research your lawyer prior to hiring. Every state has a disciplinary organization that monitors attorneys, their licenses, and consumer complaints. By researching lawyer discipline you can:

  • Ensure the attorney is currently licensed to practice in your state
  • Gain an understanding of his or her historical disciplinary record, if any.
  • Determine the seriousness of complaints/issues which could range from late bar fees to more serious issues requiring disciplinary action.
