Excellent for divorce and family law

I had two different people who don't know each other recommend Jodie, which is the best way to find a good one. Well, she's great. She simplifies everything, communicates through texting or emails for my convenience, and makes attempts to work with the ex to minimize tensions and expedite the proce...ss. She's tough when needed and very compassionate to the ex or kids as needed. Jodie understands how to help people get a fair and reasonable divorce with the best interest of the client first without taking advantage of people.

Highly recommended

I HIGHLY RECOMMEND JODIE!  Jodie recently represented me through a complicated modification trial (unfortunately not by choice) against a very cheap, selfish, and bitter ex-husband. I went through a divorce 10 years ago and had a terrible experience with 2 different lawyers who only saw $ signs. It c...ost me crazy $ in legal fees with a not so great end result. JODIE IS NOT ONE OF THEM!! I wish I had her back then but I am so thankful to the person who recommended her to me. She picked up the pieces and made things right. She was extremely fair with her fees and I couldn't of asked for better legal representation. My X's lawyer is known to be one of the best and all I can say is she chewed up both my X and His Lawyer and spit them out during our trial. It was amazing how she got to the truth and facts with her examinations and cross examinations with such class and ease before the judge. She was so confident, smooth and prepared that I was in awe just watching her in action. She knows the law and I was actually shocked at how well she knew my case with even details I would have missed. She was also very accommodating with my schedule even coming to my work and home to meet me due to my very busy lifestyle of owning my own business and a single mother of 3. If you are in need of a lawyer I would definitely consult with and hire her as she is honest, fair, and compassionate to your feelings through the stress of it all. If nothing else I would meet with her just so your X doesn't hire her and you're on the opposing side. Although Jodie carn be a shark in the courtroom when needed I would also highly recommend her for any divorce or family matter. I have recommended her to a few friends who didn't need her for the same situation as mine. She was a mediator for my friend and her X and they were very happy with the service she gave them. She also helped one of my friends in family matters pertaining to child custody and visitation. He came out happy and thankful to me for the recommendation. I am not one to take the time to do ratings but made an exception here because I was more then satisfied with her as my attorney. I am also rating her because of my past experiences with the 2 useless and expensive lawyers before her and what I've been through. I am so thankful I had her and just really wanted to express how important it is to have someone like her representing you. It makes all the difference in the world...TRUST ME...you won't be disappointed!

Avvo profile

I was referred to Jodie for her 16 years experience in family court matters..in my case a divorce proceeding..she is the most compassionate and caring lawyer I have ever come across..she bears that personality to really care about her clients..not only on the case but for their personal well being..s...he's prompt in her responses to my e-mails and explains the jardin as best as it for me to understand. She is also what I call a "mobile lawyer" which means that she is willing to meet up with her clients anywhere that they request to avoid having to go her firms location in Providence..which is highly unusual..I couldn't recommend her enough..her firm is lucky to have such a caring..hand holding, cry on her shoulder and knowledgable lawyer with their firm of Parker/Sheer on Dorrance Street Providence

Very helpful divorce mediator

Divorce negotiation can be an overwhelming experience, but Jodie guided me and my ex through the process of mediation within a reasonable time frame. Her professional insight and caring attitude helped us work toward an amicable outcome, and gave us the information and support we needed during this d...ifficult time. She knows the process well, and was a great sounding board for both of us.

Divorce Consultation

I saw Ms. Caruolo for a divorce consultation. First, she was most accommodating in terms of scheduling a consult around MY work schedule. She was on time (actually slightly early) for our appt and spent over an hour with me and she did not once look or act as tho she wanted to hurry this up and get... out of there--it was an evening appt. She was knowledgeable, straightforward, did not sugar coat things and did not beat around the bush. She layed out my financial scenerio in terms of what I can and should expect for a divorce settlement. I went into this meeting with very specific questions regarding RI divorce laws and she answered everyone of them. She did not charge for the consult even tho I offered to pay because I got more information than I would have from a generalized consult (because I had a list of specific questions). Jodie was thorough and professional AND personable. She was emphathic and understanding, not just a lawyer with dollar signs in her eyes. It was a most informative meeting for me and although I am not yet ready to move forward with a d ivorce, when and if I do, I will absolutely use Jodie as my attorney. Actually, I will go to her first if I need an attorney for anything. And, based on this one meeting, I will absolutely recommend her to anyone who asks me if I know of any good attorneys.
