Top Notch Attorney

I highly recommend Carla Barone to anyone seeking a compassionate and competent professional. Carla was a beacon of hope when the likelihood of a satisfactory resolution in a very complex matrimonial matter seemed impossible. She was able to facilitate a favorable agreement and avoid a lengthy and co...stly court battle that seemed inevitable. I always felt that Carla had my best interest in mind and I would recommend her to anyone who needs a lawyer for a family matter. Thank you Carla!

Great for Family Matters with newborns

Carla Barone at Cohen Forman Barone has been a pleasure to deal with. She is thoughtful, understanding, and extremely effective at getting down to the matter at hand and resolving disagreements. She has her client and their child's best interest at heart. I would recommend her to anyone who is in sea...rch of quality representation for their family matter issues!

Guidance, warmth, and professionalism.

Divorce is an exhausting and daunting task that I entered into with emotional instability and shock. I started working with Carla Barone to help guide me through mediation so that I could represent myself with knowledge and and have Carla's expertise to guide my questions through the process. Med...iation fell apart and I then hired Carla to represent me in the traditional manner. Carla maintained a level of dignity all the way through the negotiations with the opposing team and then finally in the courthouse before the judge. She guided me to get what I was entitled to after 36 years of marriage and delivered solid legal advice. The best thing to come out of my tragic marital demise was Carla's professional guidance and her warmth.

Strongly Recommend Carla Barone

On numerous occasions Carla Barone has demonstrated she works from the heart, good will and it is not about money. Being an Officer in the Army, my wife and I were going through hard times while I was on my 5th deployment to Africa. As a soldier, I am the one that usually comes to the rescue of... others but in this case, it was Carla that came to my rescue. I was physically in a combat zone and emotionally in another combat zone at home. When I could call to the States and speak with Carla, she gave me advice and explained things that made me feel easy. Carla’s words and explanation of the law, and my rights as father made it possible for me to rest easy at night, which was not an easy task. Carla gave me advice over months and wrote a cease and desist letter during my deployment on my behalf.. without charging me a cent. Carla cared more for my mental health and that I fully focus on my mission and come home safe to my son. I have returned from deployment and have visited Carla a few times at her office. Carla and her staff have been wonderful. They have treated me with dignity, respect and made me feel that I am not alone going through this process. I have retained Carla and she continues to give me solid legal advice. Just with the experience I had with her overseas, I would strongly recommend Carla Barone as a divorce attorney and even as a friend!! I feel even stronger about the recommendation after my personal interactions with her and her team.
