Skilled and Dedicated Environmental Litigator

I worked with Mike Carlton on a complex environmental litigation case, and his expertise was evident from the first consultation. His deep knowledge of environmental law, coupled with his recognition as a 'Lawyer of the Year' in this field, gave me confidence throughout the process. Mike’s strategic approach and meticulous preparation were crucial in navigating regulatory challenges and securing a favorable outcome. While I appreciated his thoroughness, I did notice that his response times could be a bit slower than I’d hoped, especially during high-volume periods. The cost was reasonable, though I wish he had provided a clearer breakdown of fees upfront. Despite these minor points, Mike’s legal acumen and dedication to his clients make him an outstanding choice for environmental litigation. I highly recommend him for anyone dealing with similar legal challenges.

Knowledgeable and Effective Environmental Litigator

Michael P. Carlton is a highly knowledgeable attorney with a strong background in environmental litigation. His expertise, particularly in complex regulatory compliance and enforcement matters, was evident throughout our case. The depth of his experience, including his recognition as 'Lawyer of the Year' for Environmental Litigation in 2016, gave us confidence in his ability to navigate our legal challenges. While his strategic approach and courtroom presence were impressive, we did notice that his response times during initial consultations were occasionally slower than expected. However, this minor delay did not impact the overall quality of his representation. His insights, honed over nearly two decades of practice, were invaluable in securing a favorable outcome in a delicate environmental dispute. His ability to balance aggressive advocacy with practical solutions was particularly noteworthy. The cost of his services, while justified by his expertise, was higher than we anticipated, but the results spoke for themselves.

Solid Representation, Room to Improve

Mr. Carlton handled an environmental compliance dispute for our business, leveraging his extensive experience in litigation and environmental law. His background, including his recognition as Lawyer of the Year in Environmental Litigation, gave us confidence in his abilities. While he provided thorough legal analysis and strategy, communication was occasionally delayed, and follow-ups required more prompting than expected. The resolution was favorable, but the process felt slower than anticipated. Overall, he delivered competent representation, though we'd hoped for more proactive communication throughout. His expertise in general practice and environmental law is undeniable, but managing client expectations regarding responsiveness is an area for improvement.

Skilled Attorney Worth the Investment

I worked with Mike Carlton on a complex environmental litigation case, and his expertise was evident from the start. His deep understanding of both regulatory frameworks and courtroom strategy was invaluable as we navigated a challenging dispute with a major corporation. Mike's recognition as 'Lawyer of the Year' in environmental law wasn't just a credential—it translated directly into the sharp, strategic advice he provided. His calm demeanor under pressure and ability to simplify complex legal concepts for clients was particularly impressive. The only slight drawback was that his response times to emails were occasionally slower than I'd hoped, especially during busier periods. However, this was a minor issue compared to the overall excellence of his representation. I'd confidently recommend Mike for any environmental or general litigation matter, knowing he brings both the academic rigor (Georgetown J.D.) and real-world experience (nearly two decades) to the table.

Solid Advice, But Room to Improve

I sought out Mike Carlton for assistance with a complex environmental litigation matter, and he certainly has the experience and credentials to handle such cases. His background at von Briesen & Roper SC is impressive, and I appreciated his deep understanding of environmental law, as evidenced by his recognition as Lawyer of the Year in this area. However, while his legal counsel was sound, I found the communication somewhat lacking at times. There were delays in receiving updates on my case, which made it difficult to plan effectively. Additionally, while his expertise was clear, I wish there had been more transparency about the timeline and potential outcomes from the outset. Overall, Mike’s knowledge in environmental litigation is evident, but I would’ve liked a more proactive approach to keeping me informed. For straightforward environmental legal issues, he’s a competent choice, but those seeking close, consistent communication might want to weigh their options carefully.
