A great custody attorney

I retained Ms. Hackett after a few negative lawyer experiences. I had a custody case with severe parental alienation with a lot of evidence. After Covid delayed my case, I decided to make a change and brought Carrie in 2 years into a 3 year case. She worked well with the court appointed Guardian ...ad Litem, helped organize the case for trial, and pushed it to a positive resolution. We were able to prove severe alienation, won custody, and were awarded attorney fees. My ex-wife hired an attorney to employ some bullying tactics, but Ms. Hackett schooled her on family law. Carrie is always calm, yet has a great courtroom presence. It's hard for a father to win custody, but we were able to prove the case beyond any doubt, and the court's ruling was overwhelmingly in our favor. Court battles can be trying, but I wouldn't have wanted to go through this with anyone else in my corner.

11/ 10 recommended!

I found Hackett and Wine here on Avvo. Carrie Hackett took my case; it was the best thing that could have happened for me. She and her awesome team (Kevin is very patient and thorough! ) handled my case even though I was out of state. I really felt like they listened to my concerns and helped make de...cisions based on what was in the best interest of everyone involved. In court, Carrie was very professional and was definitely an advocate for me! This woman absolutely knew her stuff.

Incredibly understanding and knowledgeable

I suppose reviews are likely 1 or 5 starts based on whether or not she won the case. But I'm also impressed with the way she's handled herself and my terribly long and drawn out divorce. She's professional and knowledgeable. Trust is huge with attorneys and she earns that trust at every step. She pro...vided clear estimations of how everything would go. I was never surprised by anything from the judge or process. As the saying goes, level heads prevail. And hers is quite level. My only advice to you would be to be honest and listen to her. She won't promise something unrealistic but i know that i wouldn't have my children without her. I wouldn't want to go through any legal process without someone like her in my corner.

Outstanding

This law firm is top notch. Carrie stepped in right away and started defending my rights right off the bat. She made what started to be a difficult divorce go as smoothly as it could. I would recommend Carrie and her law firm to anyone going through a divorce.

Posted by Thomas | September 05, 2013 | Divorce & Separation

Ms. Hackett is a true pro

Ms. Hackett represented me through my divorce proceedings. She was extremely courteous, patient and respectful. I found her to be a real pleasure to deal with. Her and her assistant, Ms. Wine were extremely professional and I would highly recommend this law firm to any person going through a divor...ce.

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"I strongly endorse Carrie! Carrie and I were on opposite sides of a case not too long ago. We managed to settle a contentious case at mediation. This is never possible unless the other attorney is knowledgeable about the law, the facts of the case and the personalities. We settled the case because of Carrie's superb legal knowledge and skill. I would gladly work with Carrie in the future. If you are seeking a good domestic attorney, you will be in good hands with Carrie."
