Wilmer J. Carter

Mr. Carter is AV Peer Review Rated by Martindale-Hubbell (Highest Ranking Possible) and in 2012 and 2013 he was selected as a Northern California Rising Star by Super Lawyers Magazine. Since 2013 he has achieved the annual distinction of Super Lawyer, an accolade voted on by fellow attorneys and reserved for less than 5% of California Lawyers. He maintains a 9.9 rating on AVVO.com and recently was selected as one of the TOP 100 TRIAL LAWYERS in Northern California.


Mr. Carter’s litigation practice includes representing victims of automobile collisions, slip and falls, police brutality, as well as victims of sexual assaults. He has over fifteen years of experience fighting insurance companies and he understands the games they play. An unfortunate truth in today’s world is that insurance companies will take advantage of those not represented by an attorney.


Wilmer also represents maritime and cruise ship clients with wide ranging injuries, including toxic exposures, fractures, falls, burns, and head traumas. His knowledge of the Jones Act and general maritime law allows him to aggressively promote his client’s interests. Based on Mr. Carter’s maritime knowledge and experience, he served as a panelist at the 2012 Pacific Admiralty Seminar where he addressed industry leaders regarding the recent changes in the maritime laws and how those laws affect merchant seamen.
