Terrible
I don't even know where to begin to tell how bad an experience I had with this attorney. She was abrasive and difficult. The end result for my case was little more than a huge bill and a case of stress induced hypertension.

Client
Carolyn has been a nightmare to deal with and she is extremely rude . She does not return calls promptly, she is always late and hardly prepared. I'm sure she gets away with behavior being president of the bar association. How did that happen!?

excellent representation
Ms Barone knew exactly how to handle my divorce and separation of our complex joint assets. I am very satisfied with the outcome of my case.
