Best attorney

Carol is an excellent attorney. She is knowledgeable, responsive, and professional throughout the process. Thanks to her legal support, I was able to resolve my matter. I truly appreciated her guidance and would highly recommend her.

The Lawyer you need handling your case - 10/10

I live in Indiana, and I didn't know Carol (in Chicago). I had my case coming back from USCIS with missed crucial steps. A friend of mine said, Call Carol. Few things you will be satisfied with if you retain her: #1. Responsiveness. (very responsive and knowledgeable of your case any time you spe...ak) #2. Competitive. She knows what she is doing. #3. She will make your case hers. (Care). #4. You will feel like you are getting what your money's worth and more. I was personally touched by how Carol handled my case given the stress I was in, and it only makes sense to let her, and the world know the wonderful work she is doing.

Most sincere and honest attorney ever.

About 12 years ago I needed help with my immigration case which had implications. I was open with Carol and explained my situation. Not only is she understanding of any case, but she also advices, proceeds and executes accurately to my case. I followed her instructions precisely as she told me. I ...was accepted for my citizenship interview which lead to my oath ceremony and I was granted my naturalization status. Carol is very thorough, detailed oriented, success beyond expectations. Very professional with a kind heart.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • 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.
