Very happy with my results and the firm

I highly recommend Carmen Soto and her team! I had to file for bankruptcy and I was so scared and ashamed. I searched for days looking for an attorney and I came across Carmen Soto's page.. I read her reviews and saw all the great reviews, not one did I read that didn't meet the client’s needs.... I ...then decided to meet with her in May 2016.. After the first meeting with Mrs. Soto I felt so relieved.. she explained the process and what my options were. Answered all my questions without hurrying me, she was so knowledgeable. You can tell she is there for her clients. She gave me a reasonable price for her services, honestly I was so nervous that’s the last thing i was thinking of.. I left a deposit and then i was able in full at the end of November.. I had paperwork to turn in to get the process going. I met with one of her specialist Fabi (great person), I brought her all my stuff and she also helped answer all the other questions I needed. She was very thorough with me to make sure we don't miss anything to file. I was so nervous and scared.. but they made this whole nightmare easy.. Even going to the creditors meeting I was drying and Mrs. Soto made me feel at ease.. She had compassion and I was happy she was there representing me. Her whole team from Sarah that answers the phone, to Fabi to Mrs. Soto are all amazing! If you are looking for a firm to represent you and make you feel like family then she is the one to hire. I am an avid reviewer and am so thankful for the reviews that led me to find this firm.. You will not be disappointed, I know I am not! Thank you again for your great work and hope that you can help hundreds more...

Excellent, Professional, Attentive Law Firm

I hired the Law Offices of Carmen Soto for assistance with a Restraining Order followed by a contentious divorce. Allison Bishow was the lead on my case. She was very professional, understanding, and knowledgeable of the law. She succeeded in getting me everything I wanted. My divorce lasted longer t...han expected. Throughout the case, Carmen assisted me as well. Carmen was outstanding and had every answer to any questions that I asked. Daniela, the paralegal, was also very knowledgeable as well and was very kind to me. At every point during my case there was someone I could get a hold of immediately when I had a question. This was very comforting during a stressful time. Furthermore, this firm made every effort to save me costs rather than over litigating. This is an excellent law office. I would highly recommend them.

Great Bankruptcy Lawyer

Carmen Soto speaks Spanish, it helped me to speak with a lawyer that spoke in my native language. Her and her friendly office staff was very patient and put me at ease in every step of the process. My case was done in a timely manner. I would recommend this lawyer to my close friends and family.

EXCEPTIONAL LAWYER!!!

Carmen is exceptionally knowledgable and is dedicated to providing the best service possible. She was of great assistance to me with regard to my child custody issue and my rights as they pertained to the state of Florida. I was able, with her assistance, to domesticate a custody order from another ...state as well as pursue some financial goals for the future protection of my family. She always answered my calls/correspondence promptly and thoroughly explained all information so as to put me at ease and make me feel comfortable with the entire legal process.
