Going up against CPs ! Mrs Grant is a super star lawyer to say the least. She was ready and willing to defeat Hennepin county CP

Excellent lawyer! Mrs. Grant knows her stuff. She took on Hennepin county CPs for us on bogus charges. She never missed a beat, she pointed out each and every lie they told under testimony . Don't be fooled by her sweet beauty, she is a beast in the court :-)!

Best Divorce Attorney

Carol has a way of dismissing the petty things and getting right to the heart of the issue. She's excellent at finding the truth and getting the Judge to see the truth also. I only wish I had found her sooner as it would have saved me much distress and money. I recommend her to anyone faced with a...n ex that is dishonest.

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.
