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!!

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!

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.

Overpriced and

Carol took my divorce case knowing that Spousal support would likely be the only contentious issue. In 6 months time, the only thing Carol accomplished for me was to deliver my answers to my spouses Interrogatories and document requests, 2 weeks overdue. Carol was hard to get a hold of and was unres...ponsive to my specific requests. She was determined to have me agree to paying more in temporary support than I could afford and when I finally said no, she tried to withdraw as my counsel with hearings scheduled in court just days away. In my opinion, Ms. Ehlenberger was more interested in having a friendly relationship with opposing counsel than in protecting my best interests.
