Very helpful with estate planning

Carin and her team helped us with estate planning, and they were very helpful along the way, and got the documents prepared quickly once we ironed out all of the details.

Needed a Quit Claim Deed Reviewed / Updated

As I am in another state, I was able to talk with her on the phone and send her the information. In less than a week, she was able to turn around the request and sent me an updated Quit Claim Deed that I can now file with the county. Fantastic customer service.

Skilled & Kind Lawyer

I rely on Carin Brio for legal guidance. She has assisted me with the purchase of a home, estate planning, and drafting a contract for services for my business. She has an extensive professional network of people. I have been extremely satisfied with everyone that she has referred me to. Carin... is intelligent, responsive, and kind. Anyone who works with her will receive the best professional service that they have ever had.

Efficient closer

Hired attorney Brio to represent me in a recent real estate purchase. She was efficient during the closing but not during the purchase process. Many times she did not respond to emails or voice messages. She did not provide legal advice when needed and failed to provide important information about th...e property. Dissapointing.

Hello. While I cannot confirm that we worked together since this is an anonymous post and I have not received this feedback from anyone before, if we did work together, I would say that I wish this would have been brought up at the time so that we could discuss it and address it while we were working together. I’d be happy to discuss this further, feel free to reach out to me if you are so inclined.

Fast Closer! Great!

I hired Carin to help me close on my first home fast. We were moving in 30 days and I had contractors lined up to start work the day after closing. It was a tight deadline but with Carin's help we made it past some slow seller's attorneys with a lot of leg work on Carin's side. It would not have ...happened successfully without her. Carin kept things simple and made closing a real easy experience. I'm also glad I hired an attorney to put some muscle behind our constant requests for updates to the seller's attorney.

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
