"Rick rocks! His expertise was just what I needed to help negotiate a fair deal. Rick knows the business well and is respected by all sides of the industry. He's honest, hard working and savvy. Definitely worth the investment and I'd love to work with Rick again in the future."

Ana Cabrera, Anchor, KMGH -- Denver, CO

Having Rick on my side during negotiations and the transition from the station "across the street" made a huge difference. He is excellent at what he does.  Unlike an agent, he is working for you and only you.  He explains everything and will be all the things you need -- when you need them: helpful, trustworthy, informative and aggressive.You absolutely need someone with Rick's understanding and knowledge of the TV news business in  your corner.

Erika Arias, News Anchor, WTIC -- Hartford, CT

I wanted someone to fight for me during my contract negotiation, but I just couldn't stomach paying 10% of my salary for the lifetime of my deal. I found the perfect solution with Rick Carr. Rick has been a broadcaster, and he has contacts at stations across the nation. More importantly, because of his background, he understands our needs -- both on and off air. Rick handled all of my negotiations in an extremely professional manner, yet he never made me feel like just another client. With Rick, my needs came first. Anyone in the industry looking for help with a new job or contract should call Rick -- they will not be disappointed.

Steve Atkinson, News Anchor, KGTV -- San Diego, CA

Rick is not only a professional asset and resource, he is a friend and mentor. He knows the sometimes-ugly side of television news, and his wisdom, advice and personality can help you weather any storm.

Rick is truly the "agent alternative," but he still has good relationships with news directors and talent all over the country.

If you are working in television news today, you can't afford NOT to work with Rick!

Calvert Collins, Reporter/Anchor,  KLAS -- Las Vegas, NV

After deciding against an agent, I knew I still needed help in moving toward the next step in my career, and Rick Carr was the perfect answer!

His knowledge of the business, strong negotiating skills and realistic viewpoint kept me at ease throughout the contract process.  I am confident that he provided me with what was best and most fair for both me and my new employer. 

I would recommend him to anyone!

Unlike an agent, Rick serves the modern broadcast professional in a unique way.  He works for you as a highly competent attorney who charges you only  reasonable fees for top notch services.  
 
Perhaps most importantly, you can count on Rick to consult with you one-on-one throughout the entire contract process and do it with the one-of-a-kind perspective that only a broadcaster-turned-lawyer can provide.
 
Strategy is everything when dealing with TV stations in the new economy, and it's difficult to see the complete picture when you are "in the frame."  If you are debating whether to go it alone or go with agent, consider a third option - Rick Carr.  It's one of the smartest decisions you can make!

Rick knows our business as well as anyone I've worked with.  He is thorough, professional and incredibly responsive.  

He's also just a good guy you'll be happy you hired. 

Justin Farmer, Anchor/Reporter, WSB -- Atlanta, GA

I just wanted to thank you again for all your help with my contract. You are a pleasure to deal with and made me feel extremely comfortable throughout the entire process.

With your vast knowledge of broadcast law and former experience as an anchor, I knew I was in good hands. Even my News Director remarked how much she enjoyed speaking with you.  Thank you, Rick!

Don't hire an agent -- hire Rick Carr!  This was the best decision I've ever made when it comes to negotiating my contract.  Not only does Rick know the legal details,  he also knows the TV business.  I was so impressed with his ability to fight for me and make suggestions about what is reasonable and what isn't in this industry.

I knew I was hiring someone to protect me, legally, but I quickly learned that Rick was also working to protect my professionally.  From my perspective, that is a rare combination -- even with a top agent!

Save your cash and hire Rick.  It's the best move I've made and I would recommend him to journalists at every level of their careers. 

Christine Haas, Anchor/Reporter, KHOU -- Houston, TX

If you are looking for help with your job or contract, Rick Carr is your man -- he's incredibly accessible, easy to work with and insightful about the business.
With Rick, you can't go wrong! 

Before you think about using an agent or other contract attorney-- call Rick.  Not only is he efficient and cost-effective, he really UNDERSTANDS THE BUSINESS.  

His experience with agent and station contracts meant no stone was left unturned.  Negotiations were smooth and I ended up with a great deal, and most importantly, peace of mind! 

Dion Lim, Anchor/Reporter (Former Client), WCNC -- Charlotte, NC

When I hired Rick to be my attorney in TV news, I didn't know I was also making a great friend.  When you can actually find both wrapped into one, consider yourself lucky! 

Rick's sincerity and passion comes through on the very first phone call, as he immediately puts your concerns and needs on the front-burner. He is in constant communication with you and you'll always know where things stand in a negotiation. And Rick knows  the "ins and outs" of tv news as well as anyone in the biz.

I have no hesitation in recommending Rick Carr -- one of the best decisions I ever made in my career was picking up the phone and calling him!

David Marcus, Main Anchor (Former Client), KSEE -- Fresno, CA

What a relief to find Rick! 

There's nothing bad about a new job EXCEPT negotiating the contract.  Rick took the stress right out of it - by putting into perspective what I'm worth and by being the one to ask for it! 

While I was worrying about finding a place to live and coordinating a move, Rick did all of the hard work - and explained every detail of my new contract to me along the way.  I didn't want an agent, but I did want an advocate -- and I found that in Rick!

Kristen Miranda, Reporter, WBTV -- Charlotte, NC

What a pro!

Rick Carr is the first attorney / representative I have worked with in the broadcasting business and it has been a terrific experience.

Rick has negotiated all my anchor contracts at WTVF, and he has been the ultimate professional -- confident and audacious, yet gracious and realistic.  Rick's tireless diligence amazed me.  He discussed the offers with me frequently, he was receptive when listening to ALL of my suggestions, and he worked plenty of overtime to satisfy my requests.  

Without his devotion and experience, I would not have received such solid contracts. My many thanks, Rick, for continually doing such a wonderful job!

Kristin Priesol, Main Anchor, WTVF -- Nashville, TN

Rick truly is the anti-agent.  He genuinely cares about his clients, he'll take your calls day and night (if need be), and he doesn't keep taking a check long after the work is done.  

He does all of that with a high level of professionalism and knowledge about the industry.  You need to have an advocate to level the playing field in negotiations, and Rick is that advocate!

Richard Ransom, Main Anchor, WREG -- Memphis, TN

My career is better off because of Rick.  His perspective and professionalism are outstanding, and his guidance and friendship remain invaluable.  

Pairing his legal knowledge with his deep insight into the news business, he always takes the time to explain everything.  He is incredibly trustworthy and responsive, patient and experienced.   

Throughout the entire contracting process, Rick was an amazing asset but an even better person to have on my side.

Bigad Shaban, Reporter/Anchor, WVUE -- New Orleans, LA

Thank you, Rick, for making a very stressful time easy on me!
Rick took all the pressure off me in negotiating my contract. I had never met him in person, but you'd think we've known each other for years the way he went to bat for me. He put forth 110% effort, and he was always available if I had any questions or concerns. 
He has my highest recommendation to anyone looking for help or representation.

Ben Smith, Meteorologist, WHNT -- Huntsville, AL

Thank you for your time and talents in negotiating such a great renewal! 

I know I got a better deal because of you, and my General Manager just said you are one of the BEST representatives she's ever worked with.

Adrienne Stein, Main Anchor, SNN -- Sarasota, FL

A very smart investment! 

Rick combines sensitivity and strategy to achieve the best results for his clients.

Thank you, Rick,  for taking the confusion out of contract negotiations!

Kate Tillotson, Anchor/Reporter WWMT -- Kalamazoo, MI

When I had two competing offers, Rick juggled both deals and ultimately negotiated a contract that made me feel secure. Rick proved to me that you DON'T have to have an agent but you DO need someone who has mastered the art of negotiating -- and that's Rick!
