A+ attorney

I highly recommend Caryn Stevens. Caryn was very on top of things and always got back to me extremely promptly. She gave me sound advice so I didn't enter into a losing battle. She was a strong advocate for me and fought passionately for my case. I never needed to worry about Caryn missing a detail -... she was very on top of everything and a pleasure to work with.

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.

Hardworking, Genuine, Knowledgeable, by your side to the end!

I never thought that it would ever happen to me,but after 26 years of marriage,there I was facing divorce. What do I do now? Where do I start? Who do I turn to for help? If you Google "Attorneys", there is quite an abundance. So then you begin scanning through the mountains of reviews, and start aski...ng yourself...what is it that I want, or need in the attorney that I choose? Well, you're not sure because you've never had to go through this before. Very scarey. You are going to be discussing very personal things about your life and finances with a stranger. You are basically putting the outcome of your future in their hands,so you need to feel confidence and trust in them. I would call offices just to get information, and hang up with a very uneasy feeling,or disappointed in the unfriendly tone and attitudes. I want to describe what I experienced with Caryn Stevens as my attorney. From the very first conversation that I had with her, I felt very comfortable. There was a good chemistry. Caryn is very sharp, intelligent, and "genuinely"pleasant all of the time. This was a very hard thing for me to go through. I have a family, and we DID have many happy years in the marriage, so even though I knew this had to be done...it was still very sad for me. Some how Caryn would have me smiling and laughing in our conversations.(Something that I would have to force at work or in public.) My husband and his attorney did not make this easy either. Delaying and dragging things out every step of the way. With Caryn's perseverance ,determination, and complete commitment to my case, we would overcome every obstacle that they would try to hurl at us. Communication with Caryn was never an issue . I could call or email, and ALWAYS received an immediate response. From what I read in reviews, that is a huge problem and close to unheard of with attorneys. If Caryn was tied up in court and wasn't able to take a call or respond to an email, I would receive a response from Angela, the top notch,extremely detailed paralegal at the firm. Angela is equally awesome and a pleasure to work with, as she is on top of everything and very knowledgeable in this field. Caryn kept me informed and in the loop of any changes or developments in the case every step of the way. As she received correspondence from my husband's attorney, she would in turn forward it to me. I was never left in the dark. I felt that she had my back and was by my side at all times. I'm sure that I went on too long in this review...but for the next person going through the same thing, I want to let you know that you will be in good hands with Caryn Stevens. She will not let you down. She works tirelessly to get the results that you want and deserve. I'm so thankful that I had her representing me. I would highly recommend Caryn to anyone that finds themselves in need of an attorney . She is honest, personable, an excellent attorney, and will stick by your side to the bitter end.

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."
