Force to be reckoned with

I highly recommend Carol Caldwell as an attorney. I hired her to represent me in a highly contested divorce case involving children. She always had my children's best interest at heart and fought hard for them and me. She is a force to be reckoned with in the court room. She is always so well prepare...d and meticulous in every detail, resourceful, creative and knows the Florida law. Anything the opposing counsel threw at us never caused Miss Caldwell to stumble. She was available to answer my questions and concerns at all times. Her response to every, email, text or phone message was prompt. From my first meeting with her to the final hearing she was professional but extremely easy to talk to. Miss Caldwell always took the time to make sure I understood the proceedings and that I was prepared for court hearings. Miss Caldwell's office staff are also amazing. They went above and beyond to help me and my children many times. They always encouraged me, kept me informed, and very helpful with paper work. The whole team worked well together on my case.

Very Good Attorney

Carol has continued to represent me in family law matters for 5 years. She is a compassionate person and as an attorney, she represents with a foundation that is consistent with the reality that is our legal system today. She did not waste my money or time complicating the process with needless mot...ions or conversation. When she took action, she based it on positions we could win on and wrote concise arguments. She was honest. At times, it can be frustrating to have to someone tell you that you need to do the work to make sure you can backup what you're claiming. But, in the long run, you can't win your case if you don't have it together. Carol held me accountable for what I needed to do to for my own case and in turn, she did her job using her legal expertise to gain desirable outcomes.

Hire the best.

I have a very lengthy and extensive case and after searching for the legal representation I was looking for for many years, I can say I would highly recommend Carol Caldwell. Divorces are unfortunate, but I was incredibly fortunate to have found Carol as my attorney. My case is extremely high wh...en it comes to the legal complexity and emotionally saturated with issues in need to be resolved. Sadly, in time I've come learn that cases such as mine are becoming increasingly common as the byproduct of today's lives and families. I couldn't have been in better hands. Carol is incomparable in the depth and breadth of her knowledge and understanding of family law, her strength and finesse in the legal arena, and most of all her personal character and integrity. She is as strong and eloquent in taking a stand in court (where she is universally liked), as she is patient and skillful around the negotiation table (resolution). And she works absolutely tirelessly: even though she had many cases to deal with she always responded promptly and thoughtfully to any of my concerns. Because of all this she successfully navigated a wide range of problems such as complex and unusual mental health situations, extreme emotional and physical stress, and an erratic opposing counsel all at once. Looking back, I realize that Carol somehow accomplished the seemingly impossible task of keeping us focused on the most critical issues at stake, while at the same time staying perfectly in tune with the various "moods" of the many hearings as well as a trial when I experienced them. Initially I was badly bruised at the onset of my case but Carol has been a source of peace throughout the many years of my litigation. Thank you Carol.

A decent divorce

I hired Ms. Caldwell to guide me through the nuances of a long term marriage ending in divorce. I felt she presented the details of law in a way I could easily understand, which enabled me to make my own decisions. She took the time to listen and understand and supported my efforts to bring about th...e divorce in a decent manner. I learned how to approach reaching a settlement which left both parties able to move forward. I never felt rushed and her office is very reachable. If you have to go through this event in your life, I believe Ms. Caldwell is knowledgeable attorney and a very good guide.

excellent, knowledgeable and experienced!

Carol helped my husband and I tremendously with our special needs son. She was precise and knew exactly what needed to be done to get him a school that was appropriate for his needs. She fought for us and won! Love her!!!!!
