Best lawyer

My husband and I were trying to adopt a little girl and I contacted Caitlin. She looked into the case because the parents rights were taken away. She read all the court papers and my husband and I decided we could not take the little girl. Caitlin was very professional But also very personable at t...he same time. She took time to explain everything from the smallest task to how the court would work. I would definitely work with Caitlin

Very personable, realistic, and great at her job

I hired Caitlin for a custody case involving my ex and i's 4 year old. I was very nervous to go through a legal battle but Caitlin made sure I was comfortable and understood what was going on. She was very knowledgeable of everything in her field, and did an amazing job. I would definitely recommend ...her to any friends or family who need legal help.

Very professional and caring!

Caitlin is such a caring and professional attorney. She helped me by making the entire divorce process bearable and answered all my questions. She always looked in the best interest for me and my kids and made recommendations but respected my decisions throughout the entire process. She is compass...ionate and understanding. I believe she is a very capable, smart, and trusting attorney. I would recommend her and seek her help for other legal advice. Thank you Caitlin!

Custody Modification

We reached out to Caitlin's office through a referral from an employer EAP program. We were able to set up a consultation with Caitlin within a few days. Caitlin listened to our needs and addressed any concerns we had. She provided us with a timeframe of when she would have the paperwork completed... and well exceeded the deadline established. Caitlin provided excellent communication and service during our custody modification. We will definitely use her in the future if need be and will recommend her to our family and friends.

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.
