Founded in 1982, Culp Elliott & Carpenter is a dynamic law firm with a focus on entrepreneurs, growth-oriented businesses, and high net worth individuals. The foundation of our success is our sophisticated tax and family estate planning practices. Over the past three decades, our firm has grown to become one of the most highly respected tax law firms based in the Southeast. We have a culture of staying abreast of ever changing tax laws and diligently representing clients so they pay the least amount of taxes legally possible. We are recognized by clients for our ability to creatively identify innovative and effective solutions to complex tax, legal and financial problems. We feel that our passion, experience and expertise in these areas are unmatched.

Our Team
In order to provide our clients with solutions to their toughest problems, we invite only the most qualified and creative professionals to join our firm. We have a multi-disciplinary practice of attorneys, certified public accountants and tax consultants, which provides us with a broad and deep pool of tax, legal, financial and accounting talent. Our lawyers have received professional recognition for their accomplishments, some of which include North Carolina Super Lawyers, Business North Carolina Legal Elite, The Best Lawyers in America and Worth Magazine Top 100 Attorneys in America. We are active in the professional community as authors and speakers on a variety of topics and regularly receive national recognition for our expertise.

Our Business Model
Our clients benefit from the fact that our attorneys, certified public accountants, and tax consultants operate from a single office. State of the art technology allows us to operate effectively on a national basis. Our one-office model aids collaboration, communication and efficiency – all of which contribute to the delivery of excellent integrated services. The low overhead of our one-office model allows us to provide services more cost-effectively than larger law firms employing a multi-office, high overhead business model.
