Empathetic, smart and professional

I worked with Caryn years ago. She was bright, professional, efficient and had a big heart. When I needed help with my daughter’s situation I knew she would be someone I could trust. Caryn cares about people. She is compassionate and she made the process of a something that gave me a lot of anxiety a...nd stress more tolerable. In fact, I came to her for a second opinion after waiting months for a prior attorney to help me resolve a custody issue. She gave me her opinion and just from the time we spent talking, I knew I needed her to help me. I’m 100% happy about my choice. Caryn is honest, down-to-earth, intelligent, budget friendly and a lifesaver. Lawyers have a bad reputation. Caryn will change your mind. She’s an exception to the rule.

The best of the best

Caryn helped me with my divorce and I couldn't have been in better hands. She thought of things I hadn't even thought of when preparing the marital settlement agreement and made sure I was fully protected in all areas. She made me aware, every step of the way, what to expect so I was fully prepared... at all times. I couldn't have asked for a better attorney to help me with this process.

Ms.

Caryn represented me in my divorce proceedings. She educated me in the process, explained the law and was always aware of and sensitive to the emotional toll involved in ending a long term marriage. She was always quick to return an email or phone call. She is a professional "straight shooter" and... I thank her immensely for guiding me through a difficult time in my life. I would highly recommend her.

Relocation - Parenting Plan

I'm divorced with a 3 year old daughter and had opportunity to move out of State. The legal process intimidated me, but I'm happy I hired Caryn, she walked me through the whole process, explained every detail and genuinely cared about the family's well being. She's extremely knowledgeable and very ...insightful, she brought up details I would have never thought of! She was very prompt in answering via text, email and call, and very patient. I would hire her again in a heart beat if I ever need legal support. I am so thankful to her!

"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.
