About Cris Carter
Cris has spent many years helping individuals and families navigate the legal system and guiding them to make the best possible life-impacting decisions. Her practice focuses on estate planning, asset protection, and the transfer of her client’s property and wealth. Cris develops lifelong relationships with her clients serving as the trusted advisor to her clients and their families. But for Cris, it is about so much more as she preserves and protects her client’s loved ones and their legacies which include their intellectual, spiritual and human assets. Perhaps that is why Cris’ clients often say they have never met an attorney quite like Cris.
Before moving to Colorado, Cris practiced law in Florida, having received both her graduate and law degree from the University of Florida. Go Gators! One of Cris’ greatest rewards was raising her two children. She enjoyed being actively engaged in her kids’ activities and was a scout leader, a cheerleading coach, and sponsor of the robotics club as well as attending and supporting all the other sports and academic endeavors of her children. When her daughter moved to Colorado, Cris saw the writing on the wall and knew that her grandchildren would be born in Colorado so she made her way to Colorado to be close at hand when those grandchildren arrived. And they did! Cris is the proud grandmother of three amazing grandkids, Lincoln, Livvy & Birdy, who know her as Coco!
Cris has poured her heart and soul into Colorado since arriving as she has served on the Board of Directors for the Southern Colorado Women’s Chamber of Commerce, Leadership Northern Colorado, the Senior Resource Council, and the Alliance for Suicide Prevention of Larimer County, to name a few activities that grabbed her heart.
Testimonials
"My husband and I recently had the opportunity to work with Cris Carter for the preparation of estate planning documents. Our Will was approximately 18 years old and in need of updating. Cris found many deficiencies in the will and corrected all of them. We found Cris to be very professional, knowledgeable, and extremely thorough. She turned an unpleasant experience into a pleasant experience. She brought up items that we never even thought of. It was extremely obvious to the both of us that this was indeed her true specialty. She made it even more pleasant by coming to our home on several occasions. She answered all of our questions and was always available to us. We highly recommend Cris Carter for your estate planning needs." - CHARLES & BARBARA C.
"Cris is not like any other attorney I have ever known. Cris spent a lot of time up front with me, understood where I was and what I needed. She got to the point and directed me to where I needed to go. She was honest and that allowed me to be comfortable. My family dynamic has been hard, and I have put off doing estate planning since my son was born. Cris simplified the estate planning process. Cris certainly has a heart for what she does. I would definitely recommend Cris to my friends as she made the process simple and it gave me great peace of mind to have my estate planning completed."- CHRISTINE S. COLORADO SPRINGS UTILITIES
"I recently attended a seminar concerning Child Protection for children under the age of 18. I was shocked at what I learned and immediately called Cris to help me prepare a Child Protection Plan for my children. She was a joy to work with. She understood my stress and had something in place for me within 2 days. I felt relieved knowing my children have a plan if something were to happen to me or my husband. The process was simple and Cris was professional and enduring. I will be using her for all of my attorney needs!"- ELIZABETH A.
"I know how very important the level and degree of knowledge the legal representative of a person or business can be. As a well-known television commercial says - 'Priceless.' That is how I feel about the knowledge, understanding, and services of Cris Carter. She has represented me personally, on extremely important matters, and I would recommend her professional services to anyone." - RONN LANGFORD, CEO, MASTERDRIVE
