Glad to have hired

Carolann and her team were amazing with me and the whole process. My divorce was one of the worst experiences of my life emotionally and I was so lucky to have them there for me. Always professional and compassionate, very transparent on every scenario. I am very please with the work they did and I a...m happy I hired them.

Fantastic Attorney and Staff

Ms. Aschoff has been my go-to attorney for over a decade. From day 1 to year 11+, she and her staff have always treated me as if I am their #1 client, and they gave my case the time and priority it needed. Ms. Aschoff has gone above and beyond, regardless of the day or night, she'll respond to my in...quiries. She's an amazing attorney and person all around. I couldn't have gotten through some of the scariest and darkest moments of my divorce a child custody battles without her experience and help.

Posted by FM | May 13, 2021 | Hired Attorney | Child Custody

Sole Custody

When my family, friends, and prior attorney's kindly stated that I would never obtain sole custody of my child, Carolann gave me both support and confidence that it was possible. Anyone involved in a child custody case will agree that this will be the most challenging experience in your lifetime, and... you need more than an attorney and family members to just to make it through the day. Carolann was more than just legal council, she was truly vested to help the best interest of my child and was ALWAYS available. Carolann would have her staff contact me even after hours, weekends, or when she would take vacation to ensure that I had her firm's full support. Her staff was well acclamated with my case, so I was not paying for an individual, I had a full team supporting me every step of the way. Carolann has extensive knowledge in family law, and this is most evident when she is by your side in a courtroom. I never felt like my decisions were forced upon me, Carolann explained all possible outcomes of important decisions and shared her prior experiences to work up to a favorable end result. My son and I were given a second chance in life as I obtained sole custody. Carolann is responsible for making this happen and we are forever grateful. Your legal counsel selection will forever change your child's well being and your path in life, so do not pass on the opportunity to work with Carolann Aschoff's firm when it matters most. I am confident that I would have never been able to obtain sole custody with out the help of Carolann, and she continues reach out to me months after the outcome to see how my child and I are doing. That in itself can support my claim that she is more than just legal representation.
