I'm a Sgt with the NJ dept. of Corrections. My estranged Ex-wife for the 3rd time filed domestic violence and harassment charges against me from Kansas in an effort to destroy my career and gain leverage in our ongoing custody battle over our daughter. She had lost custody in NJ. A conviction of ether charge would have ended my career and given my ex legitimate grounds for have custody reversed back to her. Being from NJ i knew no one in Kansas/Missouri to recommend an attorney. A friend in the F.B.I. called the Kansas office ' they Recommended Tamara Putnam. Mrs Putnam took the case and read through several boxes of court transcripts and several conversations to completely familiarize herself with the history of my difficult case history that spans over 5 years of litigation. Tamara was incredibly organized with all her evidence exhibits and game plan. It took tamara exactly 32 minutes to completely and utterly destroy my ex-wife credibility on the stand. She by method of her questioning turned my ex-wife brother testimony into benefiting me and making his own sister less credible. I did not have to take the stand at all. When the Judge rendered her decision she stated that my ex-wife was not only incredible but had obviously misrepresented her self in an effort to manipulate the court system in her favor. After clearing me of all charges Mrs. Putnam filed a motion for my legal fee to be paid by my ex-wife. Judges almost NEVER grant legal fees. Mrs Putnam got the judge to order my ex-wife to pay for every billable hour as well as my plane ticket and hotel stay that I incurred defending myself from these charges. In short Tamara kicked ass and took names. 32 MINUTES for a dismissal I wish I had a video of her at work. She ever makes it to the east coast drinks are on me. You would be hard pressed to find a better Attorney.

I feel so blessed (and relieved) to have been represented by Carter & Putnam, specifically Tamara Putman, in my criminal case. My first offense - I was frightened, alone and definitely ill-equipped to attempt to handle my case alone. Within hours of taking my case, Ms Putnam had me released and back in my home - safely. The court experience is daunting, of course, but you never feel afraid. Carter & Putnam maintain contact, always keeping you abreast of any new developments or decisions in your case. When/If you go to court, you feel confident, prepared, and nearly smug with your representation (if you know what I mean). I am 100% satisfied with my case, and would confidently refer this firm to my friends and family.

Denise and Tamara are outstanding lawyers. They represented me in a professional manner and also were truly caring and concerned for my well being. If I ever need a lawyer again they will be the first I go to! I highly recommend Carter & Putnam for all legal needs!

Written by Cynthia Morris My experience with Tamara Putman was outstanding. She took care of me from day one. Not only as an attorney, but as a human being. She showed me respect, defended me to the upmost. In my opinion you could not find any better attorney in the Lees Summit area better than Tamera Putnam. She preforms great in the court room. I value her as a friend, and an attorney. Thank you for your help.
