Ms. Concise

Ms. Kernan gets right down to the heart of the matter and can assemble a motion without delay. There is an inherent bias in family court toward fathers and to her credit, Carol did everything she could to dismantle that prejudice. I salute her efforts in my matter.

Excellent lawyer

Carol handled my very difficult divorce. She was extremely thorough going through all the specifics that I would face going forward with the divorce. I had a very uncooperative spouse and she made sure that I received my fair share. I would definitely recommend Ms. Kernan to handle a divorce, she... does not tolerate anything less than what is right for her clients.

Patient and opptomistic and honest

I was very pleased with Ms Kernans services throughout my case. Very polite, professional and friendly. All calls, emails and questions were addressed and or returned promptly. Easy to schedule an appt with and never too busy for a client.

Very Happy Client

Ms. Kernan is very knowledgeable and was very helpful through my matter. She was very professional and gave good advice through my case. She always looked out for my son and my best interest. She was a pleasure to work with and was very helpful. I would definitely recommend her services to others.

Divorced and a Father

When I realized my wife and I were heading to a divorce there was no doubt in my mind I would lose my three year old daughter. I am happy to say, through Carol's representation, I was awarded custody of my daughter. When you consider Both my wife and I were considered fit parents in the eyes of the c...ourt, it makes the outcome all the more amazing. While the court says a decision is not based on whether you are a man or woman, in reality it does have an impact on the decision. Very few attorneys can achieve a result of a father being awarded custody of a 3 year old daughter the way I achieved this with Carol. What sets Carol apart is her honest approach and her preparation. I met with multiple attorneys before deciding on Carol. I choose her because she was the only one who gave me honest answers and didn't tell me what I wanted to hear. This honest approach helped me deal with the emotional strain both personally and during the actual trial. She helped me maintain my emotions and focus by vigorously reviewing every detail ahead of the trial and even having me sit through a mock trial in her office. Our preparation included everything from controlling my mannerisms in court to having the proper reflections in my voice. There were never any questions posed to me by the opposing attorney that I was unprepared for. I truly believe that our preparation was a main factor in being awarded custody of my daughter. There is no way I could ever adequately express my gratitude for Carol's help through the most difficult time in my life.
