The worst lawyer I ever encountered.

Mr. Carlin took no time with my case. He allowed me to sign documents and didn't explain what I was signing. No matter how much information I gave to him he didn't read it. He missed key details which bled over into other litigation. I would not hire this man to oversee a dog adoption let alone a... custody hearing.

This Anonymous review is disturbing and I doubt its authenticity. We strive to provide the highest legal services and have done so for more than 33 years. There are some family law matters that the client's behavior and conduct prevents a positive outcome, and this is unavoidable. I would refer any reader to the reviews that actually come from clients willing to post their names

VERY SMART

After moving to New York, I found myself with a custody order that my ex was not following. In addition, my order was issued in another state that was still exercising jurisdiction. When I described the issues I was facing to Mr. Carlin, he made it clear that I had legal options and that I did not ha...ve to continue tolerating behavior that was negatively affecting myself of my child. Mr. Carlin is a “great lawyer” and knows exactly what to say, what to do, and what to ask to help get the court to hear your side and get you what you are asking for. As my case was highly contentious, I was naturally stressed and upset about my legal battles; however sitting in that court room next to Mr. Carlin, I found myself completely relaxed and secure knowing he was going to take care of it, would fight hard on my behalf, and would handle and respond effectively to any problem that came up around my case. Mr. Carlin’s representation has made all the difference. My order is being modified to end the constant battles and upsets I was constantly facing. Like many of us who find ourselves with legal issues, I could not see an end or resolution to my situation. I am so grateful for the knowledge, skill, and experience of a lawyer like Mr. Carlin who has helped me resolve my custody issues so that I can confidently move forward to the next chapter of my life with my son.

Top Notch Lawyer

Mr. Carlin is an awesome lawyer. He helped me win my custody case when the odds were greatly against me. My case was unique to me but with his experience I guess he seen them all. He was always 10 steps ahead of everyone which made me feel comfortable in a grueling and intense environment. Words ...cannot express my gratitude and we thank him immensely for all his help. You won't be disappointed if you hire Mr. Carlin! Good luck!

Exceeded my Expectations

I live on the west coast, but retained Mr. Carlin in a child support suit because my son's father lives in New York. I was concerned the distance would put me at a disadvantage in our case, but Mr. Carlin was able to seamlessly conduct all business via email and phone calls. He was timely in a...ll of his responses, and was able to arrange for me to "appear" in court via phone so that I did not have to spend the time or money to repeatedly travel across the country. Mr. Carlin was a supportive and honest advocate for me, despite my residence and physical distance. His professionalism, efficiency and expertise gave me not only peace of mind that I was in very capable hands, but a quick and positive resolution to my case. As my son grows up, should I need to retain an attorney again, I will, without a doubt, hire Mr. Carlin. It is with absolute confidence that I would recommend him to anyone who needs a family attorney.

Efficient

Mr. Carlin was brilliant with the way he handled my case. He was at all times ready, on time and efficient. I was and still am very happy with the end result of my case. I must say without him I would have been in a major hole. I would like to recommend Mr. Carlin to anyone interested.. Thanks
