only cares about money

she is knowledgeable. but will only help if she thinks when will make tons of money from you. Had to hire her to help me stop my ex wife broke the parenting agreement. only saw her in person once. never even went to court. Had very little contact with her and somehow she went through the whole re...tainer in like a 2 week period where i only talked to her maybe 3 times.. so if you are going through a divorce expect to pay roughly 1500 every two weeks and trust that she using her time the way she said she was. but it was what ever 1500 i got my kid off the meds so it was worth it to me at the time this time I went to hire her again cause the ex wife decided to break the parenting agreement and and try to remove the kids to another school 38 miles away. Carols first response was full custody is going to be a lot of money and she recalled i didn't have a ton. well Ive been saving sense the last time i needed her cause i knew it was a matter of time before I would have to go back to court. first off I never told her I wanted full custody i just didnt want my kids to be taking away from me. its 50/50 right now and by going to a new school i would loose that and barely see my kids. I told Carol I I was concerned cause she didnt seemed involve even after i just dropped off a 3000 dollar check and I wanted her to meet my kids so she knew what i was fighting for and I want a lawyer that is passionate about helping kids more than they are about making a lot of money. Not too much to ask for when searching for a FAMILY attorney. She immediately responded that she didn't think we were a good fit. I agreed. So if you want an attorney that actually cares about what they are doing and not treat you like you're a cookie cutter client then you should look elsewhere. update: This woman deposited the retainer check before I signed an agreement and She told me she would refund my money "once the check clears" but i decided to put a stop check in just in case she wanted to hold it preventing me from hiring a new one or have to wait. I figured if the check clears she would send me a refund or the stop check would take place before it even cleared and i would just be done with her. She asked me a few days after if I wanted "my check" sent by mail or I could pick it up. thinking she meant the check I actually wrote her I said mail it. Like a week later she accused me of trying to steal 3000 from her cause she never checked to see if my check cleared and she was going to send me a refund check of 3000 dollars. You telling me this woman can even check to see if a check clear before sending a refund and then accuse you of trying to steal from her. How using her ignorance against her? This is not the woman you want handling your case if your family is on the line.

Experienced, Assertive, Cares for Her Clients

Carol has represented me during a difficult divorce and child custody case and subsequently retirement benefits division with my ex-spouse. She has been knowledgeable, practical, supportive and helped me gain the best results possible. She has also helped some of my friends with divorces after I r...ecommended her and they have all been very grateful for her diligent defense, experience and caring attitude to her clients. I give her my highest recommendation.
