Excellent

Caroly is very professional. She is quite knowledgeable, not to mention her wealth of experience in providing quality services to her clientele. It's obvious to me that money is not the driving force on which her practice is built; rather, it seems like she has a natural inclination and passion to he...lp people in ensuring a higher level of care for their wellbeing. She is also warm and welcoming. Her price is very reasonable and she will keep you informed with the process, as well as the requisite documents needed for the completion of the application. Most importantly, she will not mislead you with erroneous information. She stays current with all the new laws because she sends frequent mails with updated and proposed laws that will be in effect to keep us aware. Thanks Caroly and I have no regrets with working with you. With this being said, I have no reservation in terms of recommending Caroly as a competent and caring lawyer.

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.

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.”
