Attorney Peter Carman was such a blessing to me in a very dark time in my life. For once it felt like I truly had an advocate who really listened to me and my story, and at some points, he cared more about me and my life than I did. Pete made sure to make me get back into see the doctors when my PTSD got bad again. If your life has been forcefully altered because of an accident/injury, do yourself the biggest favor you could possibly do and contact his office. He sincerely cares about his clients, and he sees you for the whole person that you are; you?re not just another number to him. He?s a top-notch attorney and incredibly knowledgeable when it comes to the insurance industry. God forbid something happened to one of my friends or family members, I wouldn?t send them anywhere else because I know Pete will fight for them.

Attorney Carman was very caring in his approach on our behalf. He defended us in a case in which the litigant was alleging serious damage. His investigation into the plaintiff was thorough and exhaustive. He worked diligently to defend our position and assured us throughout the process. He kept us very well informed and involved in processes and procedures. Our settlement was well within our policy limits, despite arguments by the plaintiff to the contrary. We were very pleased with his actions on our behalf.

Attorney Peter Carman is passionate about helping injured victims. His commitment to me via his integrity, diligence, knowledge of the law and persistence establish him above the rest. He is comprehensive, strategic and always one step ahead. Peter?s attention and detail to my case made it known I had the best advocate to care, keep me informed, fight for me and be the voice I needed to represent me against the opposing party and their attorney. He carried the burden of an uneasy and uncertain process which allowed me to focus on my healing. Peter is a powerful opponent who understands what is required to get the job done and do so with professionalism and tenasity.

Peter Carman is a phenomenal attorney who I would highly recommend to anyone dealing with a personal injury or worker?s compensation claim. He is extremely knowledgeable in dealing with these cases. Peter is very professional, compassionate, and trustworthy. You are not just another number when working with Peter! He assesses your case and then takes action. I was very impressed with how prompt Peter was in responding to phone calls and emails. This even included some after work hours and weekends if needed to address a concern. You will not find a more competent attorney than Peter Carman.

Peter was suggested to me by a friend about 4+yrs ago to take on my cases. Peter is extremely thorough, to the point and does everything he can to be successful. His personality is similar in that he gets fired up about things in my case, or when the opposition wanted to play games, and attack a person's character. The thing is he kept me grounded when I wanted to quit or say/do something to ruin the case. He was empathetic throughout, and kept a positive attitude throughout,even when I thought our cases were in jeopardy. He was very detailed in explaining things, so I'd understand. He helped weigh out pros/cons etc but ultimately it was my decision. I put 110% faith and trusted the process, and most importantly Peter. I'd highly recommend him.

As an independent Legal Nurse Consultant, I have had the privilege of working alongside Attorney Peter Carman on very complicated personal injury cases for both plaintiffs and defendants. His critical thinking, tenacity, and empathy for his clients are exceptional. Attorney Carman is highly invested in getting the very best settlement for his clients, and if needed, will take a case to trial so his clients get the justice they deserve. He will work weekends and late nights fighting the good fight for those who have been injured and to get a fair result for his defense clients. He leaves no stone unturned, and ensures he knows every part of his client?s case. He has excellent communication with his clients and his legal team and works tirelessly to help those in need. He is accomplished and skillful, and always available to his clients. He expects high quality work from his legal team, and delivers top notch, premium work to the opposing side on behalf of his clients. As someone who has worked with him, and sees how he fights for those he represents, I highly recommend Peter Carman for any of your personal injury and workman?s compensation needs.

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.
