  "Make This Right" Run from this inept, money-grubbing, unethical lawyer!! She puts on a good show at first but reveals her true self when you run out of money. If you do have a first meeting with her, bring along a trusted friend who has more life experience than you, especially if you are grieving. Read ALL reviews, including the unfavorable ones. In late 2025, after slowly recovering from losses in 2023 and 2024, I saw and read two such reviews. One was written by a Mr. Robert Jensen, who is now out $500. The other one, by a Ms. Suzanne McKinney, immediately stood out, almost paralleling my experience exept for the details. In the review, Ms. McKinney, the birth mother in an adoption case, accused Ms. Carter of double-dipping, getting $6K from her while asking the adoptive couple for $6K. This doesn't surprise me. When my sister joined me in May 2024 to move the succession of our late father's house forward, Ms. Carter insisted we pay her another $3K. Thankfully, due to a family emergency, that payment never happened. She required a $500.00 cash, initial consultation fee, which I paid on 12/11/23. She then requested a $6,000 retainer from me as a preconditon for her services and "in case needed." I paid this in the following installments: 1) a $2,500.00 cashier’s check on 12/14/23; 2) a $1,750.00 cashier’s check on 12/21/23; and, 3) a $1,750.00 cashier’s check on 12/28/23. These were supposed to cover any additional filing or court costs due to potential opposition from my brother. To date, the succession has not been opened - the job for which I hired Ms. Carter to do. All I have is a copy of some statute that took her all of 5 minutes and a few keystrokes to “research” and print out plus a letter that only served to anger my brother. Now, three years after my father’s death, the house is still in his name and my older brother is enjoying 3/3 of an asset that is only 1/3 his per the will, which I had to get from my dad’s lawyer. I trusted her as the expert, yet she asked me if I wanted her to call my dad’s attorney for the will. This should have been priority number one for her in our first meeting. I’m at risk of losing my car and a place to live. It’s important to note that during this time I lost several loved ones, including my dad (January 2023) and my boyfriend (November 2023). I was also the primary caregiver for my elderly Mom who lives six hours away in North Mississippi. I did not question each bill but called Ms. Carter last May and June upset that I did not get what I paid her for – an open and closed succession with an equitable outcome for all. Instead of addressing my grievances, she immediately got defensive, saying, “well, I billed you for the calls, meetings, texts, emails.” She repeatedly said the amounts paid were for her time. She went on to say, “I’m sorry you got nothing [I mean] that you feel you got nothing [in return] for your money” - back-pedaling, catching herself – and, “I didn’t even bill you for the last call. I really can’t talk to you. You have no more money in your account. I have to go.” Ms. Carter, you offered to "make things right" for Mr. Jensen, but never did. Now is your chance to do the right thing for me.

  Ms Carter handled my mother’s succession professionally and quickly. She was easy to get in touch with whenever I needed to ask a question. She knows the law and can express it on anyone’s level. I would definitely use her again.

  Brittany has been a friend of mine for many years. This was my first time working with her in a professional setting. She was kind, helpful, and thorough. I couldn’t have asked for an easier experience.

  My wife and I used Brittany’s services for Will/Estate planning. She was very professional, knowledgeable, and timely. Even suggested and implemented some details I hadn’t considered. Would use her services again.
