About Carrie
Biography
I am Certified by the Supreme Court of New Jersey as a Matrimonial Law Attorney, which is a special designation afforded to certain attorneys only after acceptance of a lengthy and rigourous application and testing process by the Supreme Court of New Jersey; I practice exclusively in the area of matrimonial and family law. My practice includes all aspectss of family law, including but not limited to issues of custody, child support, child support, spousal support, equitable distribution, enforcement of prior court orders, non-dissolution matters, and domestic violence. I am admitted to practice law in the States of New Jersey, New York, Florida, and the District of Columbia.
I have completed The Institute for Family Law Associates training course in Chicago, Illinois offered by the American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers. In 2005, I also successfully completed the ABA Family Trial Advocacy Institute program held in Houston, Texas. I have been repeatedly appointed to the New Jersey State Bar Association, Family Law Section Executive Committee (FLEC), and have wide exposure as a lecturer and moderator.
In 2007, 2008, 2010 - 2015, I was nominated consistently by my professional peers and selected as one of the Top Young Lawyers in the State of New Jersey by Super Lawyers in the New Jersey Monthly Magazine. From 2011 to 2015, I was also selected and featured as one of Bergen County's Top Lawyers in the area of Family Law by the prominent 201 Magazine and recognized as an 'excellent' attorney by Avvo, with a 10 rating.
I obtained my Bachelor of Arts degree from the University of Florida with concentrations in Criminal Justice and a minor in Mass Communication. I was also a member of Florida Blue Key, a prestigious statewide leadership organization and an active participant and member in Student Government and Vice President of Alpha Epsilon Phi Sorority. I was also inducted into several honor society fraternities.
However, as any University of Florida Gator, or acquitance of a UF Gator knows, I remain an active Alumnus of the University and a dedicated and loyal Gator fan -"Go Gators!"
I then attended the University of Miami School of Law in Coral Gables, Florida where I received a Juris Doctorate. While at the University of Miami, I was a member of the University of Miami's law intern program where I worked at Legal Aid of Dade County in the Family Division. I then moved to the New Jersey/New York Metropolitan area in 2001, and immediately began practicing in the area of Family Law.
Prior to opening my own law firm, I was an associate at another large and prominent firm in Bergen County. However, I opened my own firm upon realizing that I wanted better client relations and continued dedication to the practice of family law. We handle all issues involved in divorce & family law, including but not limited to custody, child support, alimony, equitable distribution, removal, modification of court orders, prenuptial agreements, domestic violence, and International child abduction.
In my spare time, I am an aspiring Latin dancer enjoying most of my time taking lessons in Hustle and Salsa and am currently learning West Coast Swing.

This review is from a person who hired this attorney.
Misrepresentation, Poor Guidance, and Unauthorized Use of Funds
I hired Schultz and Associates based on positive reviews. However, they did not allow me to select or even speak with the available attorney—something that should have been a red flag from the beginning. At the time, I was extremely stressed and vulnerable, and I trusted that the firm had their clien...

True Candor, True Professional, True Passion
“Carrie, I wanted to send a quick note to thank you again for taking the time to meet with me today as well as for your incredibly helpful guidance and advice--it was truly insightful.

A honorable and well-informed attorney
Carrie is a highly professional and thoughtful attorney, who has taken the time to work through and discuss my options so that my best interests are met. Based on my experiences, I highly recommend her for both conventional and challenging family law needs.

Be Cautious
Post settlement court started only 6 months after my divorce settlement that was handled by Carrie. I came out of the divorce proceeding worse then what I went in with when I hired Carrie. I had a settlement when I met Carrie and I should have taken it instead of falling for the old "you could do bet...

Replied last August 19, 2014Dear former client, I am deeply disappointed that you perceive your experience with me in this fashion. I always strive to provide my clients with the best legal representation possible, the best client experience, and that all situational and legal factors are considered in not only how we decide to engage in litigation and/or negotiations, but also as to any ultimate resolution of a case. As you can see from all the other previous comments and reviews, other clients have had nothing but great experiences with me and have praised my thoroughness and exceptional focus to detail. Unfortunately, since you posted this comment anonymously, I cannot reach out to you directly to discuss your grievance in greater depth. Therefore, I would very much appreciate you contacting me in order for us both to better understand the reasons for your discontentment and if I can shed some light as to why certain decisions were made in your underlying divorce case. I may be reached at (201) 880-9770 or [email protected]. Thank you.

Carrie was informative, caring and immediately responsive. She helped me keep my daughter from being removed from NJ against my will and without my knowledge. She assisted me in exercising my rights as a parent and a father. "She's Great"
