Not worth her fee

I hired Carrie to handle a personal matter. After laying down a hefty retainer she came back and asked for more money. After another visit with her I found out she did very little to satisfy the retainer I paid.. I hired another attorney and settled the matter in a period less than 2 weeks. Needless... to say I am very disappointed in Carrie.

A Lawyer you can Trust!

I have had the pleasure of meeting Ms. Gasaway over 14 years ago during jury selection. We have remained friends during this time. She has also represented me on family matters over the years and has done an outstanding Job. She is reliable, hard working and will not quit until justice is done! If y...our looking for representation, look no further than Carrie Watson Gasaway!

Thank you, Mrs. Gasaway!

As a father of a 3-year-old daughter with special needs, divorce was the furthest things from my mind, until the day I was served those papers. I did not know what to do, and nearly did nothing because I did not want a divorce. Eventually I came to the realization that the divorce was inevitable an...d made an appointment with Carrie Gasaway. Ms. Gasaway and her amazing staff were kind, respectful, sympathetic, and well versed in the law. I began to feel better immediately. Ms. Gasaway listened patiently to a very long story, and assured me she could help. From that first meeting, I felt confident in her ability to take care of my case, protect my rights as a father, and aggressively fight for the best interests of my child. Her advice and support have been invaluable. She is a no-nonsense, highly intelligent community leader, and a woman of her word. I am very thankful she accepted my case and worked quickly to resolve the divorce and custody issues. She and her staff are equipped to handle any situation with comfort and understanding. If you need an attorney who cares about you and your personal situation, Gasaway, Farmer, & Associates is the place to go!

Great Attorney!

Ms. Gasaway really dug in and helped me through a really trying time in my life. My ex husband was/is abusing drugs, and directly impacted my son's life. He would buy drugs instead of paying child support, and it created a financial hardship for my son and myself. After a few court appearances we wer...e able to set up supervised visitation only, and my ex must complete a drug rehab program before that can change. I am so grateful that she stood up for my son, and his father now will get not only the help he needs but will be set on a better path. Thank you!

Disappointed with Carrie Gasaway's legal services

I paid to consult with ms. Gasaway for legal representation for a contested divorce. For a fee of $6000.00 plus an additional $1000.00 for paperwork and court costs she promised me swift results. After that initial meeting I could only meet with her paralegals. I was told that a court date would be s...et soon for child custody hearings. After a couple months I contacted her office for answers because nothing was happening only to speak to her paralegal and be informed that ms Gasaway has been busy with a big case in another town. By this time my wife and I decided to drop our divorce and mend our marriage. Her lack of interest in my best interests gave me a lack of confidence in getting what I was promised. I asked for any refund to the reply of a check for less than a couple hundred dollars. I feel like once she was paid upfront like she asked attitude changed. Because of my lack of confidence by her actions I reconciled only to go through divorce a year later.
