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.

I recently invested and started a company in the USA as Treaty Trader. I wanted to move to the USA with my family on E2 Investor Visa. Ms. Caroly Pedersen represented/processed my E2 Investor case. Ms. Pedersen has been extremely professional and systematic from the very first meeting I had. She comp...rehensively explained the laws for E2, patiently understood my requirements and then came with solution of the visa best suited for me. Following this, we started the process of application and throughout that journey she has been prompt on communication providing me right steer & information as and when needed. Ms. Pederson has an excellent eye for detail and her knowledge of immigration rules are brilliant ! I have since recommended Ms. Pederson to many of my friends, family and business partners and undoubtedly I look forward to work with her on my next visa requirements for both personal and business related. Let me close this by saying, the office of Ms. Pederson is a pleasant experience you are welcomed by the excellent staff and a very welcoming reception with comfortable sofas and lovely light music which makes your day!

Permanent Resident Status

I began working with Caroly several years ago when filing for my initial H1B. Caroly was warm and welcoming and did a wonderful job of explaining the process. She worked with me to make sure everything was in on time and I had absolutely no difficulty receiving my work papers. She reminded me when it... was time to renew and advised me on also looking into filing for Permanent Resident status if I was planning on staying. My company agreed to sponsor me for this and Caroly again did a great job of guiding me through the process, explaining everything I needed to know, answering all my phone calls, emails and questions. She followed up with my company and me to make sure I had all my documents and paperwork done on time. My case was reviewed and approved with no problems from USCIS. It has been a joy working with her and her staff. Highly recommend her!

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.

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.”
