Carin Manders Constantine

I retained Carin Constantine in 2008 to help me with a simple motion to dismiss a case because I was not a resident of Florida. She never reached out to me, but instead had an assistant interview me by telephone. When she appeared at the hearing before the judge she was completely unprepared and didn...'t have knowledge of key information I provided. I lost the motion. Perhaps the worst part was that when I expressed that I felt she was unprepared she laughed out loud on the phone. It was very unprofessional. There are many other competent divorce lawyers - I would find another.

I hired Carin to help me with a relocation case because I needed to move out of state with my child. Carin was always in communication with me and we spoke several times a week. Carin gives her cell phone number so I always knew I could reach her. Carin way outsmarted the other lawyer and just kept t...elling me to simply tell the truth. I have since referred other people to her.

Carin won my custody case with just her enthusiasm alone. She was there for my questions and concerns the entire time. She always had the answer before I ever asked it, held my hand when I was unsure, and treated me with respect and dignity in the beginning when I had no understanding as to what to d...o. She handled my case and stood up for my rights and defended me as a father should always be treated. Thanks Carin! My words and thoughts can't even articulate how thankful I am for your representation. Your AWESOME!

I had never been through the legal system before and I was completely overwhelmed when I called Carin. She was able to see me the same week and was very patient with me and answered all of my questions. During my case, she answered all of my questions and helped me understand my options. Divorce is s...o stressful, but having Carin in my corner made it a little bit easier. I highly recommend her.

Aside from my two children, Carin Constantine has been the biggest blessing in my life to date. My GUARDIAN ANGEL would describe it better. After speaking to her the very first time, I knew she would be the one to get me out of my ten-year abusive marriage. Months in advance, and even before collecti...ng a payment from me, she began working with me on a Safety Plan, to assure the well being of my children and myself. She treated my case and me with the delicacy it required, as my ex-husband would stop at nothing to control me. He is a legal savvy individual, and a master manipulator, but no match for Ms. Constantine. Carin has not only been a top-notch attorney, but also an amazing friend. I would now consider her family, as she has had my back as a big sister would. She believed my story when no one else did, not even my own family, and has fought for my children as if they were her own. Her strength in litigation, as well as her poise and patience, have undoubtedly made all the difference in my case. Unfortunately, I was one that got trapped in the cycle of abuse and felt no other choice than to turn my back on Carin and began to try to work through my divorce on my own. After my husband threatened my life, I desperately and shamefully reached out to Carin. I had done horrible things to her, and the first thing she asked me, without any other questions, is “What can I do to help you?” This is the heart and compassion of a true advocate for domestic violence and is a rare find in an attorney. After seeing her persistence and dedication in my case, I am confident that there is no case that she cannot conquer. I am embarrassed to say that she has been harassed in every way by my ex-husband but true to who she is, has never once turned her back on me. She has used that drive to work harder, and smarter, on my case to finally end my nightmare and make sure my children have a chance at normal, safe and happy lives. As far as her charges, I will never be able to pay her for the time and commitment she has instilled in my case and in my children. Though billing is ultimately a private matter, I can say that she has never pressured me and she has been MORE than understanding of my financial situation. Not to mention, her charges were not even a fraction of what they should have been. I was severely broken when I met Carin, uncertain if I would ever have a normal life again or if I would ever find peace and ultimately joy. I can tell you today, almost a year later, that Carin has helped me restore confidence in myself and I have finally found peace in the middle of the storm. In my opinion, she was the only attorney that could have released the grasp that my ex-husband had on me (other attorneys had tried). She gave me hope when there was no hope. She has FOREVER changed my life, she has given me a new life, and there are no words to express my gratitude for the day my prayers were answered and I found Carin Constantine on AVVO.
