About Us
Michael D. Carter
A Commitment To Justice
Michael prosecutes serious personal injury cases on behalf of people who play by the rules, work hard and are injured due to a person or corporation’s conduct. He grew up in a blue collar, union home. He was able to see how unfairly the legal system treats workers. This seared into his brain the need for lawyers to protect people.
The “Why” Behind Michael’s Career
Michael’s career is built on the idea that workers deserve justice, no discounts, and no shortcuts. He stands firm in his belief that corporate profit should never come before human life.
