E-2 Visa

The best attorney out there for E-2 visa application. She helped me throughout the process from starting up a company to paper work and on. Helped me prepare for the interview.

She was the best part of an ugly process!

Caroly was the 2nd attorney we met with and immediately loved her softspoken tone and patience. She was clear and up front with the steps of the whole process and made us feel at ease. It was very comfortable to talk to her and ask and answer questions. That took an enormous amount of stress off of u...s and it changed our attitude about filing bankruptcy. She never judged us and we really felt like she was on our side and would do anything in her power to get the whole process done quickly and efficiently. The interview with the judge at the end was so nerve racking and scary for me, but we were well prepared thanks to Caroly. It went so smooth. I hope to never be in this situation again, but if it does happen, I'd hire Caroly in a heartbeat.

Attentive - Throurgh - Friendly

After searching the World Wide Web for the right lawyer. I stumbled across Caroly really for some advice. Not certain if I was going to continue using her, she was so friendly, attentive and knowledgeable that it seemed crazy looking elsewhere. However, being the business man I am; i spoke to a furth...er 5 lawyers and none of them came close to the service I had already received from Caroly. It was a no-brainier and we put our faith in Caroly. When using her services she was always willing to talk and was always on the other end of the line despite being 3000 miles away. She knew exactly what she was talking about and always approached the situation directly, speaking to us in simple language without the need to confuse us with legal talk. She was a fountain of knowledge and should a potential problem be on the horizon, she would not only identify it before anyone else but she would already have an extensive list of solutions which eliviated any stress. Finally any work produced by Caroly was of the finest quality which stood out from any other. Professional in nature and appearance... It's clear this woman is a cut above the rest. I highly recommend this woman for any legal assistance required and I'll be sure to have the contact details saved to the top of my list. Thank you for your help Caroly. Another success story.

Competent Service

The immigration services that Caroly Pedersen and her staff provided was simply competent and outstanding. They are able to take complex cases and present them to INS in a manner that results in approval. Thank you for an excellent job,

Adjustment of Status

Ms Pedersen filed our application to adjust our status to Permanent Resident, beacause our priority date under the Family category became current. My wife was successful with her application, as her father filed for all of us. My son and I were told that 'our priority date could not be established'. ... We were devastated !! However, Ms Pedersen calmed us down and assured us that she would do her best to assist us. She refiled our docs, to a Supervisor this time.Well this worked, and we were given an appointment for our Residency Interview! Ms Pedersen prepared us thoroughly for our interview with possible question and answers. She did an excellent job for my family. I will be forever grateful to her and her staff, for the fact that my family and I can live and work legally, in the US, our new home!! Thank you Ms Pedersen !! PS: She was always just a phone call or email away...and she always responded promptly. Great service!!

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.”
