The Law Offices of Ronald U. Carter
I have been protecting the rights of individuals for 26 years. Those rights come under attack when the government charges you with a crime, refuses to grant you your proper immigration status or when other individuals, or corporations attempts to rob you of the fruits of your hard work. When you are facing any of these circumstances you need an honest assessment of your situation from an experienced attorney. My name is Ronald Carter. Since 1985, I have fought for the rights of people just like you.
In addition to being a lawyer, I have advanced degrees in economics (USC) and public administration (UNM). I have handled a wide variety of cases at both the state and federal level in my 26 years as attorney. I can tell you exactly how I can help you in your case and let you know what you can realistically expect.
Protecting Your Rights In the Criminal Process
My approach to criminal defense is straightforward: I do everything I can to minimize the impact of your criminal charges on your life and future. This could mean anything from protecting your reputation in a sex crime case, to working to negotiate your charges down to a non-strike offense under California's "three strikes" policy. While I would love to secure a not-guilty verdict for every client, the bottom line is that I am here to protect your rights and to minimize any loss of freedom your criminal charges might bring.
From the day you contact my office, you will always work directly with me, not an associate or contract attorney. I will personally page read all police records, work directly with experts and investigators and keep you regularly informed about your case and its potential outcomes. You can expect my complete and focused attention throughout your case.
If you have been charged with a major felony — from drug possession to fraud from rape to murder — your basic liberties are at stake. Contact me online or call 661-302-4081 to schedule a free consultation to discuss how I can help you. In San Francisco telephone 415-500-7770
Protecting Your Rights In the Immigration Process
Some of us were lucky enough to be born as citizens of the United States but millions of others are here because they have chosen to be in the United States. Immigration law has become a confusing patch work of government departments, agencies, bureaus, boards, courts, laws, cases and regulations.
Knowledge, timing and attention to detail are crucial if you have an immigration issue. In a political environment in which immigrants and immigration policy is under attack you need an attorney on your side protecting your rights, so you can reach your goals.
If you are facing removal, deportation, are being detained by immigration or need to apply for visa your need an attorney. Contact me online or call 661-30204081 to schedule a free consultation to discuss how I can help you. In San Francisco telephone 415-500-7770.
