Mr. Carrow, an experienced trial and alternative dispute resolution lawyer, has practiced law both in the
United States and England over the past forty years. He is one of very few
American lawyers dually qualified to practice as an attorney in the United
States (California and New York) and as a barrister in the United Kingdom
(England and Wales). He is a member of London barrister chambers and maintains offices in San Francisco and San Rafael, California. Mr. Carrow's trial attorney skills are evidenced by the
fact that the bulk of his litigation and ADR practice is based upon referrals from other legal practitioners. A considerable part of his litigation practice consists of representation of other lawyers.
Martindale-Hubbell, published since 1868, is unquestionably the most prestigious law directory in the United States and Canada. It includes some 900,000 lawyers and law firms in its publications. Based on direct inquiries of the bar and judiciary, Martindale-Hubbell, which covers all fifty states and each province of Canada, issues lawyer ratings where warranted. Since 1979 Mr. Carrow has held an AV rating, the highest issued by Martindale-Hubbell, an honor afforded approximately eleven percent of the bar. He is also listed in The Bar Register of Preeminent Lawyers, published by Martindale-Hubbell, which consists of approximately three percent of the 900,000 lawyers and law firms referred to above.
Mr. Carrow has, for a number of
years, in addition to his trial practice, served as a judge pro tempore of the California Superior Court, the highest
trial court in California. He has, in that capacity, presided over more than twenty-five trials and engaged in numerous settlement conferences. His qualifications are further discussed in the linked pages.
Mr. Carrow divides his time between law offices in California and barristers' chambers in
London.
In addition to time spent as a practicing lawyer and pro tempore judge, Mr. Carrow makes himself available as a mediator,
arbitrator or private judge, as allowed by the law of California.
