Based in Mooney Wieland Warren’s Boise office, Carl practices extensively in the areas of appellate and constitutional litigation, administrative and regulatory law, and general commercial law. As a former deputy attorney general for the State of Idaho and in private practice, he developed substantial experience representing clients in trial court, administrative tribunals, and appellate courts across a broad spectrum of subjects and industries. His representation of Idaho officials in the U.S. Supreme Court in Armstrong v. Exceptional Child Center secured a significant victory for the state in a complicated Medicaid case.

He has authored amicus curiae briefs in the U.S. and Idaho Supreme Courts and spoken at continuing education seminars about constitutional litigation involving states.
