A brief history of Kimmel CarterIn 1972, Delaware attorneys Morton Richard Kimmel and Harold Leshem opened a general practice law firm on Market Street, in the heart of Wilmington. Sadly, Leshem passed away shortly after. To continue the good work they started, Kimmel asked Samuel Spiller and Paul Spiller (Kimmel’s brother-in-law) to join the practice. Partners Ed Carter and retired Delaware State Police Captain Tom Roman came on, followed by Partners Bill Peltz, Jon O’Neill, and Kimmel Carter’s current managing partner, Larry Kimmel. With these additions came the ability to focus on car accident victims and injured workers, as well as becoming a trusted ally for injured law enforcement officers. Now over 50 years later, Kimmel Carter is the largest law firm in Delaware to exclusively handle personal injury and workers' compensation cases. It’s also become a fixture in the Delaware community through charitable involvement and years of successful advocacy for injured Delawareans. Throughout the years, Kimmel Carter not only expanded our team but also our locations. We have our main office on Route 273 in Newark, as well as an office in Rehoboth Beach. Despite our larger size, we remain a family-based law firm with a commitment to being accessible, community-focused, and compassionate advocates for the people of the First State
