Carolyn J. Altman

Carolyn handled our adoption case from 8/2012 - 11/2014. She was fabulous. She was detailed, organized, and very available. She was thorough with her explanation of things such as the processes of adoption and timely with her answers to any questions that we may have had. Carolyn's first priority ...was our daughter that was to be adopted and that was very evident. We not only found a great lawyer but also a great friend.

She was prompt in replying and responding to our communication, extremely articulate, demonstrating both compassion and knowledge, very balanced in her communication - emotionally engaged but at the same time objective and wise from her professional perspective. Although we have only just begun with ...our legal process involving a domestic abuse situation, we have already seen the highly-qualified, well-balanced, practical, reasonable and wise character traits that we were looking for.

Carolyn is a wonderful, compassionate, knowledgeable, calm, gentle, and very personable attorney. Over the years, I have worked with many attorneys on a day to day basis due to work related duties and have only had to have one attorney for injuries related to an accident and it was not a pleasant exp...eriance. So I was not looking forward to the experience because of the overall reputation associated with attorneys and especially for family law. Carolyn exceeded my expectations and while we did not come out with the goal we had hoped for, I do not feel we lost, because Carolyn protected me from myself and stopped me several times from bring harm to my own case due to wanting to talk and not let her talk. After all was finished, she even contacted me via email and a personal letter to check on me to make sure I was emotionally okay with the decisions I had made. In this day in age, that is going far above the norm because most people just don't care enough to follow up after you wrap up your business. I would recommend her to anyone. We used her last year and are having to engage her services again this year. She is a tremendous asset to her clients and I am extremely blessed to have her on my side.
