Custody/Relocation

Carol helped me with my custody case and was able to keep my daughter from relocating with her mother to another state. She is professional, straight forward and honest. It was a pleasure working with her and her team. Everyone at the firm is very professional and helpful in every way possible. She w...as very prompt with communication and was transparent the whole time with what to expect during the case. I highly recommend Carol to anyone looking for a lawyer who is trustworthy, experienced and very knowledgeable!!

Carol Ehlenberger

Carol represented me for a divorce litigation. She was extremely helpful in guiding me through the process and providing sage counsel throughout. Carol did an outstanding job in keeping me focused as opposing counsel presented continued roadblocks to resolution. Carol identified the main issues to ...be addressed early in the process and ensured we addressed the key issues and not the extraneous issues presented. Carol's knowledge of the pertinent law was evident in working with opposing counsel. In addition, her dealings with the various opposing counsel was professional yet decisive and was a significant contributor to the final result obtained. Carol's knowledge of the process and the options available was never more evident when it came to the selection of the mediator. Her demeanor was influential in this key part of the process. I would highly recommend Carol to anyone going through the divorce process.

Excellent Divorce & Family Attorney

Carol has represented me for over 14 years. She has always provided me with solid advice and honest recommendations. Though my divorce and custody issues have not been easy, she has handled them with skill and expert knowledge. I wouldn't consider using anyone else.

Dismissive.

I would not recommend Carol. I spoke with her a couple of times and was disappointed. Bottom line, I did not feel she was on my side. I felt she talked down to me and that my questions were dismissed. Further, when I asked specific questions, she either could not or was reluctant to answer them. She... deflected and seemed unwilling to develop a strategy. Agree with a post that she appears to want to be friends with opposing counsel. Hard to believe she is a founding partner.

Divorce

I had two consultations with Ms. Ehlenberger and both opportunities were bad experiences. As other reviews mentioned, Ms. Ehlenberger was more interested in having a friendly relationship with opposing counsel than in protecting my best interests. She also didn’t have the answer to many of my questio...ns and was not pleasant at all. I had a consultation with another attorney and realized immediately the huge difference in knowledge and treatment.
