Why Carter & Carter?
We actually want to help.
Genuinely.
Let us prove it — starting with what we charge.
You’ve probably already sensed we’re different.
The photographs. The testimonials. The way we talk about what we do. Something feels different.
Now here’s why that difference gets you better results.
What Others Won’t Tell You
What you’ll actually pay.
You’re reading this now, before you’ve even picked up the phone. Before you’ve signed anything. Before you’ve committed.
That’s deliberate.
We believe you shouldn’t have to ask what a solicitor charges. You shouldn’t have to hunt for it. And you certainly shouldn’t find out only when your compensation arrives — with a chunk already missing.
So here it is. Plain and simple.
Most firms charge 25% of your compensation. The maximum allowed. Whether your claim took five hours or fifty. Whether it settled in weeks or dragged on for years. Same percentage.
We’ve never thought that was fair.

court proceedings
25%
what most firms charge
regardless of work done
When your claim settles without us needing to issue court proceedings — meaning less work and less risk for us — we charge less. Significantly less.
Less work for us. Lower fee for you.
That’s how it should be.
Reason One
Senior solicitor. Guaranteed.
1993
Chris Carter
Managing Solicitor
2005
David Healey
Senior Solicitor
When you instruct Carter & Carter, a senior solicitor handles your claim.
Not supervised from a distance. Not overseeing a junior who does the actual work. Actually handling it. Personally. From first conversation to final settlement.
Chris or David. One of us. Every time.
Reason Two
Better chance of success.
We’ve seen every defence argument before you’ve even made your claim.
Every insurer tactic. Every attempt to shift blame. Every trick to reduce what they pay. We’ve encountered them all — and we know exactly how to counter them.
That’s not arrogance. That’s pattern recognition. Thousands of claims over decades. The same arguments appearing again and again. The same tactics. The same games.
When liability is difficult, experience finds the way through.
Reason Three
Higher compensation.
We know what your claim is actually worth.
Not a guess. Not a hopeful estimate. We’ve settled claims like yours hundreds of times. We know what insurers actually pay — not what they offer first.
We know when they’re lowballing. We know when to push. We know when to accept and when to hold firm.
That accumulated knowledge translates directly into pounds in your pocket — not left on the negotiating table.
Reason Four
Faster.
No learning curves. No checking with supervisors. No handoffs between departments. No explaining your situation to someone new every time you call.
We know the route. We’ve walked it thousands of times.
A to B. As efficiently as possible. Without the nonsense.

And one more thing.
Personal injury law isn’t something we dabble in between conveyancing and divorce cases.
This is all we do. It’s all we’ve ever done.
Our entire careers. Exposed expertise. Nothing else.
And underneath all of that?
We actually give a damn.
This isn’t a business model we stumbled into. We built it this way on purpose.
Because your claim isn’t a file number. It’s your life disrupted. Your sleep lost. Your confidence shaken.
That matters to us. It always has.
Don’t take our word for it.
Here’s what happened when people trusted us with their claims.
