Carolyn Elizabeth Wagner

Carolyn came highly recommended to me from the State Attorneys office (Another Attorney). I knew I was in good hands from our very first phone call. She is exceptionally passionate and stayed on top of my case. I can promise you that she is not in this for the money. She even refunded me money back ...after my case was over. She did not rush my case and was very upfront with me on the process. If you need an attorney, PLEASE reach out to Carolyn. You won't be disappointed.

I went to Ms. Wagner to have my son last name amended due to a not so smart decision made by myself. It had been close to two and half three years in trying to work to get my sons last name changed. Boy was that a nightmare! I continued to get the run around with the Clerk of Courts and was unsure of... the direction I needed to go. Thank you Jesus for Ms. Wagner! I decided to contact her she was very informative and easy to speak with from the jump. We set up a consultation, I immediately decided to work with Ms. Wagner, I knew she was the answer to my prays; now less than 2 months later the judge has granted to amend my son's last name. I am so forever grateful to Ms. Wagner. If I had not pick that phone up to reach out to her I would still be in the same predicament, stressed and depressed. Thanks Ms. Wagner!

I chose to hire "The Leigh Firm" before I met with Carolyn Wagner and it proved to be a huge mistake. When I showed up to "The Leigh Firm" I was instantly impressed by the offices and assumed I had made the right choice based on the “showmanship” of the place. My first appointment was met with one of... the partners of the firm in his private office and I was assured that I had a great case and that not only would I get my son, dignity, and car back but I would see my son as soon as a couple of weeks with a maximum of $6000. I was told my case was so good that I could possibly get a financial award as well. After my first payment of $3500 the experience quickly changed. I was assigned a different attorney of which I never could get to return my calls. The attorney assigned to the case met with me a total of three times and at one instance took a vacation before returning my calls made a week prior. The firm didn’t accomplish anything promised and in my opinion showed NO professionalism. Phone calls were never returned as I stated earlier and got my car four months later because I had to trade my only remaining asset (a rental property I was residing at) in a behind the scenes deal I made with my soon to be ex’s father in law. I attended my evidentiary hearing only to find out my attorney never disputed or argued the accusations but agreed to terms set by opposing counsel based on a handshake. It was eventually brought to my attention that "The Leigh Firm" hadn’t filed papers with the court and lost some of the paperwork and financials needed in the case. They made some serious mistakes handling the case that cost me and my son 18 months apart. After I received an invoice stating the firm was asking for another $6000 or they would drop me as a client; I sold the car stated earlier and retained Carolyn as my attorney She worked diligently and kept in contact with me every step of the case. We would personally meet sometimes 2 and 3 times a week. After hiring Carolyn to handle my case… the judge vacated the injunction, reunited me with my son, awarded temporary alimony, and forced my soon to be ex wife to attend counseling with my son and I during the reunification process. She not only showed true professionalism and courage, but proved to be one of the finest individuals I have known. My son and I can see each other any day of the week and we have built a new relationship together. He still remembers his mother telling him I didn’t love or want to see him and that he would never see me again. He wants to meet Carolyn personally to thank her for bringing me back to his life. The time lost from the incompetence of The Leigh Firm cost us both dearly and I have no doubt that if I hadn’t dropped the Leigh firm and hired Carolyn as my attorney… my ex would have accomplished keeping my son and I apart. Carolyn was always honest with me even when it was difficult and emotionally painful to hear. She was passionate about the care and welfare of my son during and after the case. I would recommend Ms. Wagner with highest praise to anyone seeking counsel. Sincerely, Omar M. Safi

We never thought we'd adopt, it was the best thing we ever did but knew it wasn't going to be easy. Carolyn helped us through the entire process caring for both the birth mother as well as us, the adoptive family. She has a true passion for helping others. There are uncertainties with adopting and sh...e kept us informed and up-to-date on all pertinent information. Not only do I highly recommend Carolyn; should we ever choose to adopt again, we would call on Carolyn to help us!!

Carolyn Wagner is an excellent attorney. She is competent and compassionate. Ms. Wagner handled my divorce case; I am beyond satisfied with the outcome. She literally saved me thousands of dollars (and my sanity!). Carolyn Wagner kept in constant contact with me; including now, even though my case is... closed. Contrary to my previous experience with lawyers, Carolyn Wagner promptly returns my phone calls. She also kept me abreast of everything in regard to my divorce case. Ms. Wagner is also a skilled writer; she doesn't fill out cookie-cutter forms; she writes and prepares everything herself. I had a horrible experience with an attorney prior to hiring Carolyn Wagner, so I approached hiring a new lawyer with trepidation. After our initial conversation, I was put completely at ease. Ms. Wagner means what she says and says what she means. My previous attorney completely botched my case, but Carolyn was able to fix all of said lawyer's errors. I am so satisfied with Carolyn Wagner's legal services, that I feel it necessary to trumpet her virtues. If you are looking to hire an adept and compassionate lawyer, I highly recommend Carolyn Wagner
