About Fletcher
Fletcher Carpenter began his professional path outside the law. He earned a B.S. in Accounting from Arizona State University, then shifted to legal studies at UCLA School of Law, where he obtained his J.D. The combination of accounting and law has shaped how he approaches problems and clients.
After law school he entered practice in Arizona. He is admitted to practice in that state and has served as a lawyer at Udall Shumway PLC. At the firm he has handled a variety of matters that require both legal analysis and careful attention to numbers.
Carpenter’s accounting training informs his work. He reads financial statements and tax documents with the eye of someone who has sat in the accounting chair. That background helps when cases turn on transactional detail, valuations, or the allocation of assets. Clients and colleagues often note his comfort with documents that can be dense and technical.
His legal education at UCLA exposed him to litigation, transactional drafting, and analytical reasoning. Those skills have been applied in practice rather than in academic writing or teaching. He has built his practice around practical problem solving. He tends to break complex matters into manageable steps and to explain the options plainly.
Within the office environment at Udall Shumway PLC, Carpenter has worked alongside attorneys covering a range of civil matters. He has participated in case preparation and client counseling. His approach is methodical. He prepares documents carefully and tracks the financial implications of legal decisions.
Outside of formal casework, Carpenter maintains professional ties in Arizona’s legal community. He holds current association membership and stays connected to peers through firm work and local networks. That ongoing engagement helps him keep pace with procedural changes and area practice norms.
Colleagues describe him as someone who blends numerical fluency with legal training. He does not rely on flair. He focuses on clarity and on solving the immediate problems his clients face. He balances courtroom preparation and transactional detail depending on what a matter requires.
He currently practices law at Udall Shumway PLC in Arizona, handling matters where legal and financial issues intersect.
