My experience with Carol

My experience with Carol was a positive one. Now I hired two attorneys for my case, one being a big wig 20,000+ attorney for one case kinda guy. I must say Carol was by far the better value. She was very kind to me the entire case. She made me feel like she cared about me and my case not just about c...losing a deal or pressuring me into a deal until I felt ready. She is very smart and knowledgeable on the law. The only thing she is missing is experience and that will come with time. She was always there to answer and questions I had. The other attorney I could not say the same for. The process of court was very scary for me being my first and only offense and I'm glad I had Carol on my side. She has to be the best valued attorney in Minnesota and will case about not just the case, but about you as well. Sorry this review took so long Carol, but thank you for everything. You really did save my life.

Fantastic, Caring, & Smart

Carol was able to reduce my sentencing down and explained every step of the case. She was able to answer my questions and used her knowledge to fight for me. I highly recommend her as an attorney.

Felony charges

She did very well in keeping me out of prison/jail although i had to take felony probation for five years but after my probation is up the felony drops down to a gross misdemeanor. As for the second time i hired carol she did very well in helping me get my drinking privileges back while on probation....

Carol handled each of... my cases with outstanding professionalism. I will definitely seek out her services in the future.
