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.

Professional review of Caroly Pederson

I recently found myself in a financial difficulties and sought the assistance of Attorney Caroly Pedersen. After a complete and thorough review of my financial situation she recommended bankruptcy. She outlined in detail the process, how long it would take and how her office would assist me in filing... my petition. I found her staff to be professional and very helpful in putting together the documents needed to file and their follow up was consistently on time. In addition, she reviewed the financial situation of my family and made sound recommendations on maintaining future financial stability. The filing went flawlessly and quickly. I would strongly recommend Attorney Caroly Pedersen for all of my future legal needs.

Great attorney

I have a lot of financial problems and someone referred me to attorney Pedersen for a bankruptcy, she informed me well and took her of all my paperwork. Her professionalism is exceptional, her prices are great and she is honest and trustworthy. Will definitely recommend it.

Caroly Pederson, great bankruptcy lawyer

Caroly Pedersen was my bankruptcy Lawyer and I'm glad I didn't go to a big law firm. They are usually very impersonal. On the other hand, Caroly Pedersen's office staff was friendly, helpful, and available. If I had a question, I could either call or email them and the staff and Caroly herself wou...ld respond quickly. I truly appreciated their human interest at a time when I felt so financially devastated and emotionally defeated. She was uplifting and reassuring, and for that I will always be grateful and would highly recommend her.

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.”
