Carole Stanyar did a great job for me

Carole represented me in federal court and she is an outstanding attorney. She is bright, hardworking and always well prepared. I also found her to be honest and ethical, and she was always available, and patient, in answering my questions about my case. She worked effectively not only with me, bu...t with our opposing counsel and the judge. She is a highly respected, experienced attorney and I would recommend her to anyone with a federal case. J.E.M.

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.
