Amazing
Cara goes far and beyond for her clients & sticks by their side. She gives you the HARD truth instead of leading you on to believe something may or may not work out. She's outstanding to work with and I genuinely appreciate how hard she worked.

Cara Lea Powell's Lawyer Endorsements
"Cara is a passionate, knowledgeable and dedicated counselor of law."
"Mrs. Powell is an excellent advocate for her clients. I would not hesitate to recommend her to a client in need. She is also an asset to the Avvo Community, providing invaluable resources to those seeking help."
"Cara Powell is an associate attorney with Open Palm Law based in Tampa. She has subject matter expertise in family law, including paternity, and post-judgment modification matters, and collaborative divorce. Cara received her Juris Doctor from the University of Florida Levin College of Law. Cara previously worked as a paralegal at workers’ compensation defense law firm prior to attending law school. She is a member of the Florida Bar, the Hillsborough County Bar Association and the Stann W. Givens Family Law Inn of Tampa. She is admitted to practice before all state courts in Florida. Cara is a gifted and diligent attorney. She works hard and obtains favorable results for her clients. Without hesitation I recommend and endorse Cara."
"I have been and am impressed with Cara's pragmatic approach to affording families with access to divorce processes that work best for them. I thought I was hiring a new graduate; instead, I got a young woman with five years of experience in the practice (from a paralegal perspective), as well as life experience that has shown it is even more valuable in our practice."
