Andersen, Tate & Carr, P.C began with the simple but important values of community involvement and connecting with people who need help. The firm was founded in 1988 by Ethel and Tom Andersen, who met while studying at Duke University. Both later graduated from law school at Emory University in Atlanta, and after discovering their passion for helping others, Tom and Ethel started a firm that was rooted in the community and grown by a desire to serve. Tom Tate soon joined the firm, and thirty years later Andersen, Tate & Carr is the preeminent law firm in Gwinnett County and one of the largest firms in all northeast Georgia.
