Professional and Curtious

Carolyn has handled two cases for me. She's prompt when responding to emails and calls. She did a great job explaining the charges and options I had available, and was very direct when we met. I felt that both of the incidents were handled professionally and in a timely manner. I hope to never need ...an attorney again, but if so, I'll be using Carolyn. Do yourself a favor and give her a call.

Immigration

Carolyn was a great immigration lawyer. She was completely up front with me and looked for the best possible route concerning my immigration issues. Great communication skills and truly cared about me as a person and not just a client.

Avvo Rating

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.
