I have successfully litigated cases against some of the largest and most powerful corporations, including Anheuser-Bush, Inc., Yum Brands, Inc., Home Depot, Inc., and The Hartford Insurance Company that resulted in significant recoveries for clients. I have taken numerous cases to trial throughout the State of Florida, including in federal court, state court and the American Arbitration Association. I have also represented some of the largest companies engaged in business in the State of Florida, including Burger King Corporation, Flagler Development Company, and Washington Mutual Bank. Reported cases include: Upland Development of Central Florida, Inc. v. Bridge, 910 So.2d 942 (Fla. 5th DCA 2005); Williams v. Bear Sterns & Co., 725 So.2d 397 (Fla. 5th DCA 1998); Maris Distributing Company v. Anheuser-Busch, Inc., 710 So.2d 1022 (Fla. 1st DCA 1998); Wells v.

Trials, Cases, or Transactions

I have tried numerous cases to conclusion in several counties in Florida, including Orange County, Osceola County, Seminole County, Pinellas County, Hillsborough County, Palm Beach County and Dade County. The trials were located in Florida State Courts, Federal Court, and with the American Arbitration Association. I represent clients in high dollar, contractual disputes, as well as against multimillion dollar companies who have been taken advantage of by insurance companies, corporations, employers and negligent tortfeasors.

Community Involvement

In this economy homelessness is a rising trend. The Carr Law Firm believes in giving back to the community and helping those less fortunate through its work with the Coalition for the Homeless.

We are also compassionate towards animals that do not have a voice. We help protect animal welfare rights through our work with the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA) and the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA).
