My name is Christian Carson, and I'm the senior attorney and founding member of Carson Law Firm LLC. I've focused on providing legal services to individuals and small business owners in a wide breadth of areas of expertise.. I am a small business owner myself. I've been where you've been--wrestling with government red tape or chasing down a bad contractor who didn't finish the job. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure, and a written contract is the first step to defusing possible disputes down the line. A trusted legal adviser on your team will leverage your entire team's experience to produce a more effective and certain result.. When preparing a legal argument, any good attorney strives to understand the other side's argument as well as their own. That's why I also offer civil litigation services to individuals who have been wronged by unscrupulous business owners. For these types of disputes, I try to make my services as affordable as possible by quoting fixed fees, or, when possible, a contingency fee arrangement where you don't pay for my services until we reach a favorable result.. My background lies at the very intersection of business and law--accounting and finance. Before attending law school, I interned in the accounting department of GrafTech International, and worked in the tax department of PricewaterhouseCoopers, advising clients on international, state and local tax issues.. I hold a bachelor and master's degree in accountancy, and a law degree from the renowned Case Western Reserve University. There, I worked closely with some of the most respected professors in their fields.. Post-graduation, I was a member of the Legal Aid Society of Cleveland's federal tax assistance team and later moved on to a full-time real estate title examination position. In mid-2013, I made the decision to go solo.. In college, I co-founded and still actively manage WireBids, an online auction platform that we have cultivated into the premiere online marketplace for industrial-scale printing and bindery equipment.. Real estate is one of my greatest interests, and I hold several rental properties that I've rehabbed and tenanted. The Cleveland real estate market holds one of the greatest potentials for growth in the nation, and I intend to position my firm to provide the best service to those who choose to join me to invest and grow here.. I also regularly publish a blog about Cleveland-area goings-on called Rebuild CLE. I encourage anyone with an interest in real estate or Cleveland generally to check it out.. I hope to hear from you soon. Reach out to me at any time via email or phone,.. All the very best,. Christian E. Carson, Esq.

"While our firm's expertise and mine over the last 33 years is in handling legal malpractice cases, I have handled those malpractice cases in many areas other than my own specialty.. Over the course of my years, outside of legal malpractice, I have handled many negligence claims, product liability claims (which are claims for defective products), aviation claims for both defective aircraft and negligence in flying that aircraft, admiralty cases that involve the specific are of the law that involves claims involving vessels.. I have handled many claims involving insurance including uninsured motorist and what they call bad faith litigation when an insurance company does not treat its insured or does not treat a defendant correctly and makes an offer to my client who then exposes that defendant to a judgment that is in excess of their insurance coverage. That is called third-party bad faith. Our firm had the original verdict in the State of Ohio of over seven figures for an insurance bad faith claim that occurred in a third-party situation where we took over the bad faith claim for a defendant who injured our client. We obtained a verdict against that defendant in 7 figures well over his insurance policy and then had that defendant transfer that verdict to our client to collect and our client brought the claim against the insurance company for the insurance company's bad faith against their own insured, the defendant, as a result of their failure to offer their policy limit when it was demanded.. I have also handled safe place to work claims, VSSR claims, accounting and other professional malpractice. I have handled legal malpractice cases in all of those fields were I am very conversant and understand the underlying law and have an ability myself to determine whether there is a deviation and damages even before I obtain an expert.. However, in addition to that, I have successfully handled very significant legal malpractice cases that took place in areas that I had not been exposed to before. For example, an investor Ponzi scam resulted in our client retaining an attorney to handle the claim against the investment houses. Although I had not had previous experience in that, I learned the entire area of the law, worked with an expert, and was successful in bringing the legal malpractice claim against that attorney and actually in discovering what had previously not been determined and was not determined even by our own expert until I saw it, that the negligent attorney entered into an arbitration proceeding which by definition for every attorney in the country who entered it, prejudiced their client because the standard of review in the arbitration was far greater and harder than the law required it to be. That area was: an arbitration procedure defined our client had to show reasonable reliance. The standard or burden should have been actual reliance which is a far easier standard to prove.". 2010 selected as a fellow in the Litigation Counsel of America.

Most people who call say the same thing. "I want to make sure this never happens again to someone else.". As a trial lawyer for over 30 years, my mission is to help do that, and help people rebuild their lives after tragedy strikes..

Safer for the next person who goes to the hospital, or gets in a car, or makes a claim under an insurance policy.. I'm also a graduate of Gerry Spence's Trial Lawyer's College. We learned there something they forgot to teach most lawyers in law school: how to be real lawyers for real people.. People just like you.
