Excellent, Well-Informed Family Law Advocate

I retained Carolyn in 2014 for a pretty straight-forward divorce. The case was finalized within a more-than-reasonable time frame, a credit to Carolyn's efficiency. However, a residual issue agreed upon by me and my ex wife in the final decree required me to consult Carolyn once again in late 2017.... I was pleasantly surprised that Carolyn remembered me as well as the key details of my case. She wasted no time in contacting my ex wife getting rapid and pretty painless resolution to our residual issue. Without a doubt, Carolyn is extremely knowledgeable about the "legal/professional piece" of her work, but in family law especially, there is also a great deal of emotional heaviness at play for all parties involved. A great lawyer is keenly aware of the of emotional piece and uses that awareness to navigate her client through the process. Certainly Carolyn was sensitive to me as her client, but she also managed with sensitivity all of her dealings with my ex wife. I respect her highly for that. Carolyn Torres-Mabe is a great lawyer and I recommend her without hesitation.

Very knowledgeable, approachable, a real pro

I have known Carolyn Torres-Mabe for over a decade and in many occasions her advise has helped me understand various aspects of the law. To every question I've asked, she's provided solid and satisfactory answers. She's a very competent lawyer and also a person of high integrity. In terms of Family L...aw, her personal experience -- wife, mom, stepmom -- gives her additional insights and compassion, which clients can appreciate as they go through the legal process.
