I hired Mr. McCarter to handle a child custody/parenting plan modification case. Mr. McCarter was forced to deal with two of the most unscrupulous, unethical attorneys unresponsive to Mr. McCarter's correspondence, failure to comply with the Rules, Entry of Orders notified after Mr. McCarter's review are only the beginning of the issues Mr. McCarter and his entire firm, McCarter, Catron, and East of Murfreesboro, TN. 4 attorneys and 22 months latter my case was settled with favorably.

I hired Mr. McCarter in the Summer of 2011 to handle my very contentious custody case with 3 children involved and coming out of Juvenile court going to Circuit Court. Essentially he fought for me on two different battlefields with two different judges and stood up to a difficult opposing counsel showing great charm and patience. He showed great instinct in guiding me thru a difficult emotional time and was professional and encouraging even when i lost my composure.We finished the case well.

Bert provided excellent service and value for the money. My ex's attorney was based out of Nashville and chose a mediator in Nashville. Bert's name preceded us to the mediation and in turn resulted in me leaving the entire process very satisfied. Bert gave sound advice throughout the entire process and was always available to talk. I have and do recommend his services to anyone I know needing council.

Overpriced for quality of services rendered. Mr. McCarter left me alone while still in the middle of mediation.
