Made my divorce so easy!

Caryn represented me (the wife) in my divorce and my ex-husband represented himself. I wanted this to be as easy as possible on both my ex and I. Caryn took the reigns on all the legal stuff but let me drive the negotiations. She advised me on what would be achievable if I ended up in court and helpe...d me craft the language in all of our agreements to make it palatable to my ex, give me what I wanted, and keep me OUT of court. She was on my team (and the kids’ team) and we did right by everyone involved. She got my divorce over the finish line without any animosity between my ex and I. I couldn’t be more grateful. I will absolutely recommend her to anyone needing a divorce attorney!!

A bright spot during a difficult time.

During one of those difficult times of my life, Caryn and Emily truly came through. I can’t stress enough how their guidance, professionalism snd patience helped me get through my divorce. The process they took me through was as stress-free as I could have hoped for, which was appreciated when almost... everything else in my life was overwhelmingly stressful. I would absolutely recommend working with Caryn on any family law case.

The Absolute BEST

I am so grateful to have had the opportunity to have Caryn represent us in our case. Prior to hiring her, she was completely upfront and honest about her assumed outcome of our case. Throughout the entire process, she did not slack ONCE. She, and her staff, put forth more time, effort, meticulousness... and dedication than I could have asked for, which is worth so much more than money can buy. She went above and beyond to fight for what she felt was just and wouldn't accept anything less. Whenever I had any questions or concerns, she responded promptly and ensured I understood what she advised. Caryn is the type of lawyer that puts pride into her work and consistently gives each task 110%!! I cannot fail to mention how knowledgable and highly educated she is in her profession. I wouldn't trust another lawyer to have the knowledge, persistence and dedication she has. In the event that I would need representation or guidance in the future, I will definitely be calling Caryn and would refer my friends and family to her as well.

Smart and Practical

I live in NY and my ex-wife was suing me in Florida. I didn't know an attorney so Caryn was recommended. Thank god for that. She helped me think through options and make practical decisions. She focused on making sure no stone was unturned while at the same time managing her time (and therefore m...y bills). She was sensational

An effective lawyer who handled a family in need with care

We were referred to Caryn to help us navigate a very emotional and potentially dangerous family situation. She listened well, guided us on what to expect, and ultimately produced the outcome we were hoping to receive. Our family's legal case was painful, but Caryn helped us endure it by being persona...ble, empathetic, and communicative.

"I first met Caryn when I was a law clerk, and I instantly felt she was someone I could trust, not only as a friend, but as a Mentor. Caryn was always present, and provided guidance as a Mentor when I began practicing Family law. Since then, I have worked with Caryn for the past three years, and have witnessed both in and out of the courtroom, her professionalism, and very compassionate, yet assertive approach to her clients and firm."

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
