Baffled by her dereliction

I see from all the reviews that some are happy with Ms. Quinones’s work and some are not. Place me squarely in the category of NOT. I paid a good amount of money to sue my husband for divorce. She initially seemed pretty committed to my cause, but it soon became obvious that she was either too busy t...o put time in on my case or just didn’t care. Either way, it’s inexcusable for a lawyer to handle a case the way she did. I got stood up for Zoom calls, called to cancel numerous meetings, and once the Interrogatories were done she did nothing with them. I did NOT get a bill every month, so when I fired her and disputed the amount I paid for her “work,” I couldn’t verify the dates of phone calls because I trusted her enough that I did not keep track. When I realized I was not only not on her back burner but not even on her radar and requested that she send the Interrogatories that we had worked on and all the material to my new attorney, she just sent some phone logs that weren’t pertinent to my case. I was devastated by her lack of commitment, especially after being cheated on and abandoned by my ex. Giving a one star rating for a bad hamburger is one thing, but lawyers should be held to a higher standard than Burger King. Extremely disappointing experience. If you are having doubts about whether you should stick with her, my advice is while everything is fresh in your mind, start listing all the phone calls she could charge you for, document every time you’ve been no-showed, and don’t hesitate to look for a new attorney. And now she’s running for judge? And brags about how much pro bono she does? She should spend some of that pro bono time on paying clients.

Great attorney

Counsel Quinones handled our case with professionalism and integrity. She is unbiased, stands for the truth, and establishes great relationship with kids. I highly recommend Counsel Quinones as she acts in the best interest of a child.

The negative reviews are true

Do not be fooled the last two positive reviews I would not doubt if they were fabricated by her and her secretary boy who answers her phone. She is impossible to get a hold of. She does not do what she says she is going to do and should not be practicing law since she is a negligent. She didn't fi...le a quit claim deed with the court as she said would handle it personally for my mother who doesn't speak English. Its been 3 months and no filing has occurred and she doesn't respond to her phone calls at least requesting the document back. Never hire her or use her for anything. She needs to retire.

Dedicated, Compassionate & Highly Experienced Attorney

I would like to take this opportunity to extend my appreciation and gratitude to this fine attorney, Carmen Quinones. In the 29 years that I have known Carmen, she has been very professional, extremely dedicated and compassionate to representing and helping her clients. Carmen has 30+ years in law ...experience, specifically in family law. She has always sought to provide the best information and full understanding of the laws. She has helped my family and I in several cases throughout the years from Divorce, Child Support, Child Custody, etc... On behalf of myself and my family, we thank you, Carmen, so much for your kindness, friendship and always providing us with incredible support and legal advice when we need it. Thank you for all your help and always going above and beyond. We highly recommend her services!

Extensive experience/very hard working

I don’t know what is wrong with the people who give her a low rating. She is the most sought after attorney that I know of. She’s honest and assertive in court and well respected by everyone. Her fees are fair and she personally arranged for me to make payments that I could afford. Despite being... so busy she remains patient and understanding.
