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.
I hope no one ever has to go toe to toe with workers comp companies. If you do, you will quickly realize that it's laiden with headaches, heartaches, and nothing is ever simple. Peter is an honest lawyer who will not be afraid to tell you if your case is winnable. In the event that Peter does take your case, you can rest assured that you will get his best to make sure you do receive the compensation you deserve.
Outstanding attorney, diligently advocated on my behalf over three years in a workmen's compensation claim. Attorney Carman responded to any concern or questions within minutes majority of the time (including outside business hours/weekends). I would recommend anyone requiring legal representation on a personal/work injury case to consult and retain Attorney Peter Carman, who will always put your needs and best interest above his.
Peter was very professional and quick to respond. Well organized and a very good representation for us. We would definitely recommend him as an attorney.
Attorney Peter Carman is hands down the best choice. Attorney Carman is straight forward, determined to seek the best outcome for his client, and will go the extra mile.
