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.

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 the 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.

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, agents and talent all over the country.

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

When looking to take the next step in my career, I knew I couldn't do it alone -- I knew I needed someone to go to bat for me.  That's when I sought out Rick's help, and it was the BEST move I ever made, because he knows how to get you the best possible deal.

Rick is truly an invaluable asset and I'd recommend him to anyone.

Rick was professional, knowledgeable and, best of all, he negotiated a deal that was worth more than I would have gotten on my own -- and he did it all at a great price!

If you have already found a job and you are looking for someone to do your deal, Rick is your man. I am honestly not sure what I would have done without him.

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 Rick was also working to protect me professionally.  From my perspective,  that is a rare combination even with a top agent! 

Save your cash and hire Rick.   Best move I've made and I would recommend him to journalists at every level of their career.

I had been out of news for almost five years when my current station called and offered me an anchor job.  With no agent, no attorney, and no clue what to ask for in the way of compensation, a friend gave me Rick Carr's number.  In less than a week, he negotiated a great deal for me. 

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!

Rick can take a contract apart and put it back together -- with the odds in your favor!

I count on Rick for employment matters in both TV news and the business world, where as both lawyer and "agent alternative," he represents you efficiently, effectively, and professionally.

Rick has the honesty and integrity to assertively get the results I need.  You and all with whom you deal can trust him.

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!

Rick truly is the anti-agent.  He genuinely cares about his clients, will take your calls day and night (if need be) and doesn't keep taking a check long after his 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 in negotiations to level the playing field, and Rick IS that advocate.

Thank you, Rick, for making a very stressful time easy on me!

Rick took all the pressure of 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.

When dealing with Rick Carr, you can expect professionalism from start to finish.  I called Rick on very short notice and he worked within my deadlines to negotiate a contract that was great for me and my employer. 

His experience in the industry put me at ease from the very beginning and I plan to use his services again and again in the future. 

Rick Carr IS the Agent Alternative!

At last, an answer to the contract process!

What can be stressful, doesn't have to be, as Rick made the contract process relaxing.  Rick is responsive, efficient and approachable, and he boils down the legal jargon into understandable terms.

Rick knows the business, knows the structure within a media operation and knows our biggest concerns, as he lived it.
