Cofounding the firm in 1995 with law school classmate John Carpenter started Carpenter, Zuckerman & Rowley, LLP with the mission to restore dignity to the side of the individual, a task he found difficult in his prior work in business litigation. John Carpenter knows how insurance companies have vilified the word justice.

Mr. Carpenter works without rest to negate the fallacy so prevalent in our society; that injured parties are looking for a jackpot. In recent years, corporate entities and insurance companies have spent hundreds of millions of dollars falsely educating the public, falsifying valid claims, denying the suffering of the seriously injured. Mr. Carpenter has watched the climate grow more difficult for clients seeking just compensation. It is for these reasons that he works so fervently, helping those who are injured, marginalized, or cast aside.

If you are injured, you are thrust into a situation where you need help. You cannot do it alone. You need the counsel of an accomplished attorney. John Carpenter has worked tirelessly over fourteen years taking difficult cases to trial and recovering six and seven figure restitutions for his clients.

Taking time off work because of pain and doctors visits is hassling, and you often don’t have access specialists. Those with little or no insurance are facing astronomic costs. John Carpenter works with the most trusted doctors in the Los Angeles medical community, facilitating your care and connecting you with the appropriate medical expert.

By design, insurance companies make it extremely difficult to get proper medical care. Health insurance companies don’t build their corporate empires by giving out money to those injured in accidents. They grow by denying claims, even to those who are well insured. That’s why it is critical to obtain expert representation when injured. You are not alone. John Carpenter has the knowledge and the courage to stand up for what is rightfully owed to you. Compensation for an injury is not greed, it is fair.

Standing up for those who cannot stand up for themselves, Mr. Carpenter has represented children victimized by sexual abuse, children with disabilities, and persons discriminated against because of their race, disability, gender, or sexual orientation.

A pinnacle case in Mr. Carpenter’s career was his representation of a mentally disabled homeless person, run over by garbage truck and left to die. Even with life threatening injuries the police didn’t care enough to make a police report. Taking care of the police investigation on their own, performing a stake out, fighting with the insurance companies who refused compensation, Mr. Carpenter not only won the case in trial, but ensured that his client did not abuse or squander his compensation. Not satisfied setting up a mentally disabled man to later fend for himself, he obtained a revocable conservative trust, ensuring that the system would not abuse his client. These are the lengths John Carpenter and the entire legal team at Carpenter, Zuckerman & Rowley, LLP go to.

While the several multimillion dollar verdicts and tens of millions of dollars in settlements have made Carpenter, Zuckerman & Rowley, LLP one of the most respected firms in Los Angeles, what keeps them in vigorous pursuit is the goal to achieve balance in the scales of justice for the individual.

John Carpenter was selected as a Top 100 Los Angeles Trial Lawyer. He received his Juris Doctorate from Southwestern University School of Law in 1991 and his Bachelor’s Degree in economics from UCLA. He enjoys sailing, surfing and skiing.
