110% Gets the job done

Carol Ehlenberger was exactly what I needed for my divorce. I had a "simple" non contested divorce this past year and she took such good care of my case. I am sure it was "small" in comparison to most she handles but she treated my case with such importance that I never felt worried about any small d...etails. She took time for all of my calls and repeat questions. When I needed something done by a certain time it was done and done exactly the way I wanted it. I never had to worry about small details and got to go about my daily life and work without having to stress about the process of my case. I have recommended several folks to Carol and a few have retained her services as well. They were also very happy. Even my former spouse passed along her contact information to friends of his for her services. Thank you again for all of the help!

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.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
