Carolyn Nicole Daly's Reviews

I went to Carolyn due to having problems with my ex-spouse regarding abuse issues involving my children which were going on for years. I originally retained a boutique law firm with lawyers with impeccible pedigrees and over 20 years experience. None of them were able to grasp the issues of the case surroundoing exstensive emotional abuse amongst other abuse issues. Carolyn not only understood the legal side of my situation but the psychological turmoil as well. Carolyn was so well versed in case law and in the effects of abuse on children that not only was I impressed but their therapist was as well. Carolyn is highly knowledgable about all areas surrounding custody, divorce and post divorce issues. Carolyn puts the children's needs first and gives big firm results with small firm care and dedication. (She also never over bills or creates unnecesary fees) I have referred Carolyn to many people whom have been happy with her and would not hesitant to continue doing so. There are many things which stand out to me about her strengths as a lawyer but the ones that I feel are most important to note here are her ability to connect with her client, her tenacity and strength which she demonstrates in her ability to be a no nonsense to the point attorney, she is not a cookie cutter attorney, meaning that she can see each case and its individual needs as oppossed to lumping your situation together with whatever the formula is at the time for dealing with it. She really thinks outside the box and has great strategic skills. She has an uncanny ability to hash out the facts and deal with complex cases and present them to a judge in a way where they can really have something tangible. Most importantly she is honest and upfront with you and truly cares about her cases and clients. She always put the children's needs first and protects them from getting caught in the legal issues. If it was not for Carolyn, my children would not have the opportunity for a normal and happy life that they now do. We are all forever grateful to her.

I came upon Carolyn Daly through research. She gave me creative options and solutions that worked in my particular situation. Carolyn has vast knowledge and experience and she combines it with a no-nonsense approach that works in difficult divorce situations.

I had a final restraining order against me and no visitation with my infant daughter when I contacted Carolyn to see whether I had any recourse or whether I should just live with my situation.

She said that we had a couple options, one of which was a novel approach that the adversary (whose counsel had decades of experience) had never even heard of.

Carolyn excels in more than this area: for example, at the new trial she made reference to a case that had literally been decided the previous day, indicating that she is diligent, creative, and ambitious in her approach.

Furthermore, accessing DYFS records is very difficult, requiring a judge's subpoena, and judges are reluctant to grant access to those highly sensitive documents. Nevertheless, Carolyn convinced the judge to grant us access to the adversary's DYFS file. She then meticulously reviewed the file and generated several witness subpoenas and strategies therefrom.

I could go on about how impressed I was with Carolyn's performance, but the upshot is that I now no longer have a restraining order against me and I have full custody of my daughter.

I sought Carolyn's counsel as the result of a friend's highest recommendation, and I am happy to pass that highest recommendation on to you.

While there is always an element of chance associated with legal outcomes, my firm belief is that with Carolyn on your side, you'll be maximizing the probability of a positive outcome.

Carolyn Daly came into my life at the point when I had lost all faith and hope in the legal system. She was the third lawyer I had hired to represent me in my long drawn out divorce that seemed to have no end in sight. Carolyn took my case and steered it in the right direction and brought it to a close. In the process, she had discovered and fought for several important issues on my behalf that until then had gone unnoticed by my previous attorneys. Carolyn is a no-nonsense practised attorney who knows the law and I recommend her without reservation. She is not only a competent attorney, but a wonderful human being who truly cares about her clients and their best interests.

Carolyn has been a guide through what has been the most difficult challenge of my life. She is an extraordinary attorney who helped me navigate a system that often seemed more concerned with settling than doing what is right. Carolyn channeled my frustration toward productive actions. She demonstrated repeatedly that she gets things done.

I value integrity above all else. Carolyn is trustworthy. She tells it like it is. Pursuing "the right" thing is often cost prohibitive. Carolyn gave me the options along with the pros, cons and costs. She made a recommendation, then let me to decide how I wanted to proceed.

Carolyn worked collaboratively with me, leveraging my strengths, improving our filings and reducing cost.

I continue to recommended her to others.

Without the expertise and commitment that Carolyn Daly provided during my stepson's divorce and custody proceeding I do not believe that he would have been able to successfully obtain custodial parental custody of his two children. Throughout the year long court process she always focusd on what was best for the children and gave us the insight into how to best support both them and my stepson through what was definitely a very difficult time in their lives. Ms. Daly has the network of professional resources to ensure that her clients have available to them all of the services they may need. For example, in our case we needed a guardian ad litum and she recommended someone who not only was a top notch professional but who worked with the kids in a way that they were not intimidated or put at odds between their parents.

I cannot recommend Ms Daly highly enough as an attorney. She consistently makes the right decisions on her client's behalf with the highest ethical standards and professionalism.

Carolyn is as forthright and straightforward as any good lawyer should be in the hectic tri-state area. But unlike a lot of lawyers she is empathetic and compassionate regarding her clients' needs and is down to earth enough to communicate those qualities. I appreciate the speed and thouroughness with which she and her staff are performing the divorce between my wife and I. If you're like me - someone who has never needed to retain a lawyer, for any reason - then Carolyn and her staff will be perfect for you. They have treated me fairly with understanding and patience while being wholly expedient in the task at hand.

Ms Daly has that wonderful mix of being knowledgable, experienced and willing to give an honest appraisal of not only likelihood of success but also the wisdom of pursuing. In a field where some lawyers may try to throw gasoline on the flame, Ms. Daly is very measured.

Carolyn handled my very difficult divorce which included domestic violence, securing a restraining order, and negotiating with my former husband who was also a lawyer. It was a prolonged and labored process which she handled with competence and perspective. I highly recommend her.
