Amy Carter Lawyer Reviews & Ratings - Suwanee

Amy Carter Bio
I was born and raised in Atlanta, Georgia.  My dad is one of the Vice President's of Penske Truck Leasing and we moved around a lot during and after high school.  I graduated in 1996 from Frisco High School in Frisco, Texas.  I moved to California and went to college at Univeristy of California, Irvine.  After college, I immediately began law school and graduated in 2003 from California Western School of Law in San Diego, CA.  While in law school, I focused heavily on my trial advocacy skills.  I worked at both the San Diego Public Defender's office and the San Diego District Attorney's office.  Before graduating law school, I tried two misdemeanor jury trials under the third year practice act.. After graduating, I moved to Las Vegas for me to start my legal career.  I began working for a law firm called Springel and Fink where I immediatley learned how to take and defend depositions as well as mediate very large cases.  I left Springel and Fink to get my trial feet wet and began working at the Clark Couty District Attorney's office.  I tried a lot of felony jury trials from gang related cases to attempted murder and armed robbbery.  I moved back to Atlanta in 2007.. When we moved to Atlanta, I began working for the Jackson County District Attorney's Office.  I specialized in the prosecution of sex-related crimes, including child molestation, rape, and sexual exploitation of children.  In 2009, I was approached by Epps and Pilgrim to join their team and to come out into private practice.. At Epps and Pilgrim, I primarily focused on family law cases.  I specialized in divorce, modification of child custody and support, contempt, legitimation, as well as DFCS cases.  I still keep my hands in the criminal practice, however, I primarily focused on the sex crimes cases.  I practice in Gwinnett, Forsyth, Hall, Dawson, Jackson and Barrow Counties.. In October 2013, my partner Phil Pilgrim and I left Law Offices of Epps and Pilgrim and opened up Carter Pilgrim.  Our office is located in Suwanee, Georgia and we offer services for criminal defense, family law, personal injury and business litigation cases.  We look forward to helping you!. On January 1, 2022, Carter Pilgim merged with Banks Stubbs McFarland.  We are so excited about our new team and are ready to help you with all of your legal needs.
