Carl Rice

Bio

Over his 50-year career, Carl Rice has developed a profound understanding that the practice of law is more than a profession — it's a calling to serve others. His philosophy that legal practice is a ministry has shaped not only his approach to cases but the entire culture of the firm he established. This unique perspective has allowed him to build a thriving practice primarily through word-of-mouth referrals, a testament to the trust he has earned from clients and colleagues alike.

What makes Carl's approach special is his deeply held belief that each client is divinely directed to the firm, creating a sacred trust between attorney and client. This belief has influenced his handling of every case, ensuring that each client receives not just legal representation, but genuine care and dedication to their cause. His success without traditional advertising speaks volumes about the effectiveness of this client-centered approach.

Today, as Of Counsel, Carl continues to be an invaluable resource to the firm's attorneys, sharing not just his legal knowledge but also his wisdom about the proper way to practice law. His mentorship ensures that the next generation of attorneys understands that while legal strategies and technologies may change, the fundamental principles of trust, excellence, and service to others remain constant. His influence continues to shape the firm's culture, ensuring that every client receives the same level of dedicated service that has been his hallmark for nearly five decades.
