Carmen went above and beyond as a lawyer. She not only did her job great, but she also made sure that I was as calm as can be. Carmen had everything organized and well prepared.

Awesome!!

Attorney Carmen Bland is an outstanding Lawyer. I always felt that my needs were met as her Client. She was Professional, knowledgeable yet she kept the process as simple and as light as possible for me, she made a stressful situation a powerful experience with a great outcome. She was easily accessi...ble, got back to me quickly, she was aggressive and got me the results that I wanted. Attorney Carmen Bland is quality attorney that I would refer to anyone hiring a family law attorney.

Wonderful Job

I am new to Florida and was referred to Carmen when I started my divorce. She was amazing. My ex was not wanting to do things in a timely manner and make things more difficult. She took the time to help make sure I understood everything and kept me informed along the way of what to expect next. She k...nows how to play hard ball when needed and helped make the process amazing...everything I asked for when it came to my children Carmen helped make sure that I got it in the parenting plan. I would refer her to everyone. She knows how to get things done especially when it was a difficult time all the way around. I will use her again in the future if needed.

Amazing Lawyer

I hired Ms. Bland for a case. She did an excellent job in handling it. She was kind and caring to me. She treated me as if I was family. She was very knowledgable and kept me informed about my case. I asked many questions and she answered them all thoroughly. Highly recommend her.

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.
