Exceptional

My husband and I hired Caroly for adjustment of status. She is quite personable, professional and caring. The process though daunting was made easier by the expertise of Ms Pederson and her staff. I think we had the toughest officer for our case, but the phenomenal Caroly Pederson navigated us thr...ough the process and made everthing so much easier. We could not gave succeeded without her.

Amazing attorney and Human being

Caroly helped me through the whole process of requesting the USA Visa for both of my parents. She answered every question and was patient and kind, her knowledge and compassion are invaluable. Thanks Caroly for all your help during this time!!!!

Immigration Lawyer Mrs Caroly Pederson is the BEST!!!!!!!

I consulted Mrs Caroly Pederson first time in September, 2015. Since our first conversation, I knew that if I hired her on my case I will never regret it, I was right. She is not only experienced and had lots of successful cases, but she is also very kind. During the long procedure I felt how emotion...al she was towards my case ( I was away from my wife and two kids for 2.5 years), she just wanted to get us reunited as early as possible. In the past I hired a lawyer that rarely answered my calls and emails. My experience with Mrs Pederson was totally different, she always replied to my emails and calls. And we didn’t have to correct any application we filled to the USCIS or NVC, all the work we did we did only once and we had quick approvals, even though my case wasn’t an easy one. Her fees was very reasonable, I encourage any one with an immigration case to hire MRS Caroly Pederson and you will never regret it.

Great Immigration Lawyer and a very caring person!

Caroly represented us in an immigration matter which started back in April. My husband and I came from a denied case and we were very anxious. She was very professional and speedy about completing our case assuring us all the way that things was going to be ok. Anytime I called or email Caroly about... a concerned I had, she reply very promptly and always resolving my concerns with kindness and looks that she cares about my case. I am very impatient and she gives me calm during the process and especially during my interview, her confident and guidance makes me feel secure. My interview was success. I highly recommend Caroly!!!!

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.

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.”
