This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Fair and honest

I highly recommend Gayle Carr for anyone going through a divorce. She was incredibly responsive—always quick to reply to my questions and concerns, which made a difficult time much more manageable. What stood out the most was her commitment to reaching a fair and equitable dissolution. She handled ev...erything with professionalism, clarity, and a steady focus on what was right and reasonable for both parties. I’m grateful for her guidance and would confidently refer her to others in need of a strong and balanced advocate.

Excellent Attorney

Attorney Carr was recommended to me from a close friend. I am forever grateful to my friend and to Attorney Carr. Never have I met an attorney with so much patience, kindness and knowledge. She helped me with my divorce immensely and I recommend her to anyone that has searched for an attorney and ...hasn't found the right fit. She is very knowledgeable!! Thank you Gayle!

A wonderful attorney with integrity.

Attorney Carr was recommended by a childhood friend who was a litigation attorney. From the moment I met Gayle, I was at ease. Divorcing after 25 years with three children was emotional. She walked me through each step of the parenting plan and separation agreement, explaining and guiding me throug...h difficult decisions and choices. She knows the law, listens to her client and doesn’t want to drag out the process. Gayle made me feel confident and empowered. She made sure the settlement was fair and in the best interest of my future as well as my childrens'. She practices with kindness, professionalism, encouragement and tremendous knowledge. I would not be in the positive emotional or financial position without her support and efforts. I highly recommend her.
