Super duper human

Words are impossible to describe Carolyn Pedersen ability to immediately make you feel as if you have known her all your life. Her aura of hospitality and warmth coupled with the relaxed atmosphere which she creates inside and outside her office radiates the charisma and personality of one only eage...r to please. Her distinct knowledge and efficiency in immigration law left me awestruck as she did what even herself thought impossible, from filing to green card in hand was less than 4 months. I not only look eager to just take up the phone and ask her questions, but as a friend who you can discuss anything with. A more genuine, friendly and comforting individual my paths have never crossed before and since meeting her. Keep on chugging along my friend!!!

Amazing Attorney And Wonderful Human Being!

Caroly Pedersen is the ONLY attorney I would recommend. Her best qualities professionally are that she has excellent knowledge of the law, always keeps you up to date with what to expect and what is happening, guides you through every step of the way, always responds quickly, always has time for you ...and always answers your questions fully in ways you can understand, not "lawyer talk". She takes time to put your fears to rest and instills a confidence in the process that I never had from any other attorney. Personally she is such a sweetie, a genuinely lovely person who really cares about her work and her clients. Caroly has been attorney, confident, agony aunt, friend, teacher and now we considered her part of the family. She has helped my husband and I gain the stability for our future that we had been dreaming of. I really can't say enough good things about Caroly and her abilities.

She is a sweetheart

I had and I will recommended her. I sent over many friends. She is a sweetheart, she understands your problems and puts herself in your shoes. She did my H1BI back in 2000 and then my resident adjustment in 2003. I'm going back to her for my citizenship now. I met her when her office was in Hialeah a...nd still keep her as my #1 immigration professional. Even though I live in Miami I don't care, I travel all the way to Broward, I don't want any other attorney handling my case.

Great Job

I did my H1B and Green Card process through Caroly between 2001 - 2005. She was excellent in communicating, advising the pros or cons towards my process. I always recommend Caroly to my friends who need to ask questions or start their process. Their staff speak Spanish. By the way, I am proud to be a... US Citizen.

A wonderful ending to a long story

Having your case handled from another country by someone you've never met was a risk and a half, however miss Pederson proved to be the warmest , most jovial, optimistic and trustworthy person. She kept us informed and hopeful and her track record of case successes gave us confidence. She sympathized... with my mother and I in our dilema and saw us through the tedious events of our immigration petition by ensuring we had what we needed interms of documents and SUPPORT.I remain eternally grateful to her and maru for completing the process that my father started to get us into the US over 10 yrs ago. speaking on professionalism, credibility , a warm personality and success then choosing Caroly to represent you is the best decision you could ever make. Thanks a million!!!!!

Professional misconduct

This lawyer was disciplined by a state licensing authority in 2005.

Public Reprimand - with Conditions issued in FL, 2005

updated on 10/06/2015

Public reprimand means the attorney did something wrong but may still practice law. The Bar warns the lawyer in hopes that he or she will not repeat the behavior and places conditions on the lawyer's license.

Caroly’s comment:

“The case involved an advertising error only, there was never any issue relating to my representation of a client. It was a technical violation of the Florida Bar rules relating to ads only.”
