Highly Recommend

I utilized Carol’s law services for my dissolution and it being my first and hopefully only dissolution she really made the process easy for me. She is very professional and knows what she is doing. She responded to any communication I had in a timely manner and I can’t recommend her enough.

BEST divorce attorney in the county!

I feel very honored and blessed to have met Carol and had hired her as my attorney through a very difficult divorce. She was empathetic, always took the time to listen and had superior communication skills. She would explain every step of the process in detail. No matter what curve ball was thrown ou...r way, she ALWAYS had a back up plan. She genuinely cares about her clients and their best interest. I also never had a doubt or concern that she made any process longer just for money like a lot of other lawyers do. Words cannot express how thankful I am for how much Carol did for me and my son. I highly recommend her if anyone is going through a divorce and/or child custody. I promise, you will not be disappointed.

Sharp and proficient

I had a court date two weeks out and no representation. I contacted Carol and she took the case with little time to prepare. She helped me gauge a fair judgement of the outcome, and exceeded my expectations by far. Divorce with children is rarely easy, and Carol certainly made it less frustrating wit...h her natural ability to analyze the circumstances. Will use for my next divorce ;)

Very poor experience

I had a very poor experience with Carol. I selected Carol based on my familiarity with her in other professional dealings and, after consulting with her, my budget. Carol is very intelligent and confident. She knows the law and I felt as though she had a plan. However, this is where I feel our... partnership went south. My case truly should've been an extremely easy case to win: documented drug test failures, documented showing up to care for the children under the influence, infidelity, 3 job terminations in 6 months, a separation agreement written by Ms. Strench and signed by my spouse, over 70 tardies and 10 unexcused absences for my oldest child, and more. Despite these facts, and no real negative information on my side: 1) my spouse disputed the separation agreement, which was then essentially dismissed from court as being unfair and one-sided 2) because my spouse disputed the agreement, we were given a guardian ad litem (ok'd by Ms. Strench) which I had to pay a significant cost for. 3) this guardian, who seemed to be much more familiar with the opposing attorney, promptly overlooked and dismissed the positive drug tests and the overwhelming tardiness 4) The other significant evidence was tabled "until we go to trial" despite me asking why we weren't going back and forth negotiating AT LEAST two times and yet... 5) due to believing that must just be how it had to play itself out, I've STILL not been in front of a judge. 6) and the times we were in court (not in front of a judge, simply finally doing a bit of negotiation) she was yelled at by the opposing attorney and was able to be bullied into a losing position. My spouse was able to concede nothing and pay no consequences for prior actions. I believe Carol is very intelligent and knows the law quite well. I do feel VERY strongly that Carol's lack of listening to my concerns and continuing with her predetermined agenda did my case a great disservice all while being outclassed and out maneuvered by a "higher-priced attorney".

Knows her stuff!

Carol was patient and explained each step in the process related to a dissolution and determining child support. Although the process was not enjoyable, Carol was a good balance of compassionate while being realistic about what I should expect. She was good about returning calls and emails also.

"Carol's is the first name that comes to mind for referrals of any of my clients on family law related matters. She employs a level of devotion and dedication that is sometimes lacking in this practice area. She has proven time and time again to be an affordable, professional, and successful attorney who can handle any matter, big or small. Carol has my utmost endorsement."
