I could not have asked for more

Hiring Caroly Pedersen was the BEST decision I made. From day one she was accommodating and more than willing to assist in anyway possible. At first I communicated with Ms Pedersen via email and even then she treated me with much respect and it grew even more when I met her in person. I love the fac...t that Ms Pedersen always made time for me and honestly I felt at times like I was her one and only client based on the amount of care and attention she gave to me and my case. If I can I would refer any and everyone to seek the services of Ms Pedersen, she will stand by you and fight for you and rejoice with you.

Look No Further For Proper Guidance

Working with Caroly is an immense pleasure. She always anticipates your questions and guides you properly from the get go. From our first consultation, we felt very comfortable with her and trusted her to handle our Green card case. She walked through everything with us and always, always, always res...ponded to emails (no matter the silliness of the question) within hours. We loved working with Caroly! Highly recommend you stop your search for an attorney right here.

Best with EB5. Honest attorney.

I wanted a Green Card through the EB5 program. Met several Lawyers, some of them very high end, who asked me a lot of money for their services, and advised me Regional centers and projects. I usually go with my instincts. Although some of this guys were high end lawyers, my gut said NO! I was ven...ting on Facebook, is there any HONEST LAWYER somewhere? One of my Brazilian friends told me: my immigration attorney is honest! I had time, so what diference makes to have an interview with one more? I had been through 4 or 5!!! I met Caroly. She was very sweet and friendly. She told me she only would advise me to go with the Vermont project. My gut said: she is ok, you can trust her, she will do a good job. So, I hired her and I got my provisory Green Card and 2 years later I got my Permanent Green Card. I still didn't exit the EB5 Investment, I hope I can do that with her help next year, and get my investment money back. Caroly Peterson is a HONEST LAWYER, she is like an endangered species. My name is Ana, you can call her and ask her my phone number, and you can visit me and I will show you all you want to know. She is very good at what she does, she is sweet, she is very reasonable priced. A true GEM!

A Wonderful, Knowledgeable Attorney!

I am not one to trust lawyers, in fact I think that most of them are necessary evils in the world. But Ms. Caroly Pedersen is a shining exception to my thinking. She is completely trustworthy and such wonderful human being. Her main goal is your success and she will place that over everything. She is... very very smart and knows the ins and outs of immigration law which she used to ensure that our immigration process was a success.

My Experience with Caroly Pederson. PLEASE TAKE THE TIME TO READ.

I was referred to Caroly by a close friend, as soon as I walked into the office I felt comfortable I received a warm greeting from the secretary Grace and immediately I was taken care of. After filling out all the necessary paperwork I was able to see Caroly right away. In some offices I barely would... see the lawyer that would potentially attend my case, unless it was an emergency or by appointment two weeks ahead. Caroly gave me a great first impression when I met her she was very insightful and informative about my circumstances. One outstanding quality that I like that I feel other lawyers sometimes lack is that she look at all my paperwork and listened and answered all my questions with straight answers and with realistic expectations, versus giving me false hopes. During the process of my case, Grace the secretary periodically called me and let me know the status of my case. Even though for the most part my case was pending Grace would take the courtesy to call me and let me know hat there were closely monitoring it. This gave me peace of mind in the sense that I knew I was not going through this battle by myself but that I had a great lawyer by my side. When the case went pending over the estimated normal time frame, Caroly push all the right buttons to get my case going and if that was not enough she was able to get documentation for the Florida Senator to push my case forward. I would recommend Caroly to all my friends, family and any one that takes the time to read this. After this long process I can say I gain not only a great Lawyer but also someone trustworthy that I can always depend on in the future.

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.”
