Civil litigation

Ms Austin was very thorough in researching case law regarding the specifics of our lawsuit. As a litigator in the courtroom, she presented in a calm and well prepared manner. She left no stone unturned. As her client, I was happy to let her take the wheel. I knew with her legal guidance, she would... get our family to its final destination successfully in this matter. She has truly been inspirational and a blessing to our family!

Won our civil suit in court

Mrs. Austin is an extremely thorough, intelligent and dedicated lawyer. She listened to our concerns and always responded with insightful solutions. When our day in court finally arrived she was very respectful and professional with all individuals involved. She was well prepared for everything in co...urt and we won our case. I would not think twice about calling Mrs. Austin for any and all legal advise or representation.

The Bruce Family

Our experiences with Carol was head and shoulders above the rest and we have worked with many other attorneys here in Charlotte. Carol is a real listener and has honesty and integrity in abundance. That is a hard thing to find in this day and age. She confers with you personally about your opinions a...nd never once has given an opinion of her own without thorough research and highly educated case studies to back up her reasoning. She is a consummate professional and has had immense success handling our cases that we unfortunately had to take action on. Carol is compassionate and treats you as a human and not just a case or a payday. I would recommend Carol Austin to anyone in need of a good listener and I believe that is what makes her so successful at what she does so well. Carol’s first attribute is being a wonderful ,ethical human , her second is being an outstanding attorney. Both will serve you well when choosing an attorney here in Charlotte . If you are looking for justice or defense at anytime Carol Austin is the perfect attorney for you. - The Bruce Family

DWI Dismissal

I will start by saying that I never thought I would need a lawyer and didn't know where to start. A friend recommended Carol Austin and the very next day she made time to meet with me, it was very emotional and she was caring and non-judgmental. From the first phone call and subsequent calls, meeting...s, emails and court appearances she was always available, attentive, professional and determined. Her focus, attention to detail, knowledge and unwavering attitude to defend my rights and achieve the best possible result never ceased to amaze me. Carol Austin is brilliant, organized and amazingly posed and demands justice in the courtroom through her demeanor. I am eternally grateful and highly recommend her.
