During the last year, I had the pleasure to work with Carolyn on a complex guardianship/mental health matter. On an emergency basis we needed to move a very mentally ill man from Arizona to Boston for care. This matter included transfer from Arizona hospital to one in Boston, the interpretation and application of the Uniform Adult Guardianship and Protective Proceedings Jurisdiction Act, prompt courtroom work, medical air transport across the country, an application for civil commitment in Massachusetts, and coordination of outpatient care. With poise and confidence, Carolyn shepherded us through the process. She took care of each and every detail. In the end, because of her work, this very mentally ill young man got incredible care and has now made a significant recovery. This would not have been possible without Carolyn’s expertise. Without hesitation, I would recommend Carolyn to any person needing help within any of the areas that Carolyn works.

Carolyn is both extremely competent and compassionate - two qualities that are essential to any family dealing with the disability of a family member. I have no hesitation in endorsing Carolyn.
