Other lawyers bring cases with difficult facts and issues to
Mr. Valle. Mr. Valle heads the litigation team at Carter &
Valle. After years of representing defendants and insurance
companies, he now represents injured people. Known for
thinking outside the box, Mr. Valle may be the only lawyer
more stubborn than his partner, C.D. Carter. He practices and
associates with a number of New Mexico law firms on serious
injury, death, punitive damage, and bad faith insurance claims.

No one can turn back time. The only thing an injury attorney can
do is obtain compensation. C.D. Carter is the senior partner at
Carter & Valle. From the first day of representation he becomes
personally involved in holding defendants accountable and
making them pay everything they owe. Carter builds cases with
hard work, tenacity, and knowledge of the law. Not only does
Carter recognize significant facts, he looks for the evidence
needed to carry a case. Few lawyers are as stubborn, or creative,
as Carter. Perhaps that is why so many New Mexico lawyers
associate with Carter & Valle.
