The Best Legal Team

This is long overdue. Mrs Cartagena represented me in my divorce and custody and I have to say, I could not complain one bit. She listened and told me how it was at all times and handled my divorce with zero worries on my end. I got the result I was looking for and I am forever grateful and appreciat...ive for all she did for not only myself but my kids as well. I am very happy now and about to remarry again. If you are looking for a lawyer who will go the extra mile for you look no further. I am forever in debt to her and her wonderful team. Mrs Joyce was very nice and caring as well and always greeted me like friends and never like a client. Thank you all from the bottom of my heart for everything and helping me to keep my kids where they truly belong in a loving home with me.

Nobody better

By far the best lawyer that I've ever had to work with. Attorney Carthens was very engaging and kept in touch through the whole process. She was very knowledgeable of the station that I had going on. She knew exactly how to react. She kept me well informed of what to expect as well.

Professional and Compassionate

Ms. Carthens is not only knowledgeable and professional but she also has compassion and understanding of the sensitive and emotional distress a custody case can cause on a family. Her representation of our family has helped us to overcome a very troubling situation with the best outcome for all invo...lved. I would recommend her services to anyone.

Prompt and Effective Divorce Attorney

Attorney Zshakira J. Carthens is very competent and did an excellent job for me as my divorce attorney. I reached out to Attorney Carthens a few months after my separation agreement was initiated by another attorney. At our first meeting Attorney Carthens listened to my situation and patiently answer...ed all my questions. I received official copies of all filed court documents via email and regular postal mail which allowed me to keep track of my divorce process. The timing of my divorce case was extremely important because of my impending marriage date overseas. My circumstances placed Attorney Carthens and her staff in a position to expedite my divorce proceeding and I received their full support. Due to Attorney Carthens and her staff deep concern, professionalism and timely efforts I received my absolute divorce judgement during my overseas travel; which enabled me and my fiancé to go forward with our marriage process during my limited stay in Kenya. I fully recommend Attorney Carthens based on my experience and I will seek her counsel in the future.

Very professional, caring Attorney and wonderful staff

I retained Ms.Cathens immediately following an appointment with another Fayetteville attorney who had forgotten my pre-paid appointment. From my car I called around and no one could see me. I found Ms. Cathens on google, called and her assistant said "come on over". I met with and retained her that d...ay and within 30 days my divorce was finalized. Outstanding service.
