Carol was fantastic
We hired Carol as our attorney to help us with Chapter 7 bankruptcy case. She was easy to work with, patient with us when we had millions of questions, confident without making us feel guilty for not being familiar with certain legal terminology. We were glad we chose her to represent us.
