“I hired Elizabeth to help me with a probation problem in St Tammany. I am so happy that I did. My PO asked the judge to revoke me. Elizabeth knew exactly how to fight for me and her efforts paid off. My probation was not revoked. Judge told me to do some community service. I recommend her to anyone needing legal help. I feel like she kept me out of jail.”

Allan

Victim Advocate Client

“I hired Ms. Carpenter as a legal advocate and was very pleased with all the services she provided. She is always available to answer questions and returns emails promptly. She did a better job explaining the law and the legal process to me than the District Attorney’s Office handling my case. I would not have been well informed if it wasn’t for her helping me during the whole process. I would recommend her services to anyone looking a compassionate and very competent attorney.”
