Lucky to have Carolyn

I came to Carolyn with a contested adoption that soon turned into a very long and stressful process of almost 4 years. We are forever grateful for Carolyn and her knowledge and expertise. She was always available and extremely patient with us, explained everything. Advised us but was always respectfu...l of our decisions. When things got hard she got better and never shied away from a challenge. We know 100% that we were able to come out with the outcome we wanted because of Carolyn and her commitment to our case.

Excellent Divorce Attorney

Carolyn is an experienced, responsive, attentive and realistic attorney. I felt comfortable with her from the very start of our initial consultation through the entirety of the divorce process. She was upfront about fees and costs, and would advise me on the cost/benefit of any actions being consider...ed. She was accessible via email and voice mail and I was never left in limbo. Her firm's support staff is friendly and efficient. My observations of her among other lawyers and judges in the courtroom are that she is well liked and respected. She is firm, professional, and personable at the same time. I've recommended her to several friends and acquaintances.

Highly effective results

I worked with Carolyn in conjunction with another attorney in her firm on a post-divorce dispute. Carolyn, as an expert in finance, ensured I was receiving all monies entitled to me, and went through all of my ex-husband's personal and business documents with me so that I would be able to locate any ...future problems on my own. She was courteous and professional throughout the process, and always available to me. I have been highly satisfied in all dealings with her and everyone in the firm.

Great job - top notch service

Carolyn handled my divorce case, she was excellent from the start to the finish. She knows the recent law changes, understands the judge and knows how to work with difficult opposing lawyers. She remained very professional and understanding, no matter how difficult and hard to work with opposing coun...sel was.

  • 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.
