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

Caryn Stevens Did A Great Job!

Ms. Stevens did a great job handling my divorce. She took the time to discuss my case. Educated me on the process and what to expect, and went over legal stratagies for the “just in case” scenerios. She did not gouge me from my deposit and was fair. From start to finish my divorce was finalized in a ...out two months. I was very happy with her work and her quick replies to anythinv I needed.

My Light in the Darkness...

A year ago I was completely clueless on the divorce process but I knew that it was the absolute right decision (and a year later don't regret that decision one bit). My divorce was extremely difficult, complicated and the road was very treacherous between the financial aspects and timesharing concern...s I had. Caryn and her paralegal, Emily, treated me with the upmost care and concern the entire year it took me to finalize my divorce; while at the same time exhibiting professionalism, educating me the entire time, being very conscious of how costly a divorce can be, and also guiding me in making the best decisions for my family (even when I didn't want to hear the truth sometimes). My case (of almost a year) included a hearing in front of the Judge and two mediations. Caryn prepared me so well for all of these stressful situations and was able to get me back on track when things seemed beyond my control...she was the 'calm' in my storm each and every time. My divorce was recently finalized during our final mediation so that I didn't have to incur the cost and stress of going to final trial and was able to have more control over my future than if a Judge decided everything. I attribute this to Caryn, her team and the wonderful mediator that she chose to get the job done and enable everyone to move on and begin a new life that doesn't include continued litigation and all that comes along with it. I can't recommend Caryn and Emily enough, my gratitude can't even be put into words and I will forever keep in touch with them with hopes to convey wonderful news about how well my girls and I are doing as we move forward into the future!

Not just my lawyer, family!

Caryn and her team were OUTSTANDING! They were extremely proficient and on top of my case all the way through. Getting a divorce I knew was going to be a process but these ladies really made it so much easier for me especially because this was such a difficult time for me and my family. I was led the... entire way with encouragement and guidance from them. She was always honest with me good or bad. Caryn is such a kindhearted person and I never felt like just one of her clients. We would greet with hugs hello and goodbye. I live in PSL but I heard she was one of the best and they were right! She was definitely worth having even though she is in WPB. I really got to see how she works in court and she was just that aggressive and on point lawyer EVERYONE needs! In the end I got what I deserved and can now breathe with relief and live my life in peace. I say thank you to Caryn and Emily but those words just are not enough for what they deserve! These ladies have become family to me and my family and I will thank them every time for all they did for us.

Counsel, Passion, and Understanding

Caryn and her team were phenomenal. I had very specific needs with a spouse who had significant issues and an unrealistic set of expectations. I was able to make sure that my kids were protected and taken care of and avoided being taken advantage of. Caryn's knowledge base and experience were invalau...able and the biggest challenge we had was that opposing counsel had a hard time "keeping up". Caryn was a good steward of my needs and my money both in terms of fees and settlements. She avoided being overly litigious and brought the right connections to the party which made our position very strong.

"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."
