Trustworthy and Honest

Highly recommend! Carie Silvestri was knowledgeable, compassionate, and honest. During my consultation with her, she was able to answer all of my questions and describe the process and steps of going through a divorce. I look forward to moving forward with my case with Ms. Silvestri!

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

Mediation lawyer | Apr 26

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"Carie helped mediate a difficult family matter on relatively short notice and with time limits that made the chance of settlement seem impossible. Carie got the case settled! She worked tirelessly to get right to business, and negotiated a resolution that all the parties could live with, and peace came to the family. If you're looking for a mediator who can get a case settled, Carie is your person!"

Family lawyer | Nov 16

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"Carie is my go-to lawyer whenever I have any questions about the collaborative divorce process--she is an expert! She is extremely knowledgeable and passionate about the subject, yet she is a formidable foe in the courtroom as well. If you are looking for a lawyer who avoids the drama and gets the job done, I highly recommend her (and often do)."

She was exteremly professional and because of her dedication and diligence, we were able to settle the case in a matter of weeks and get a great outcome for both of our clients.

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"I am a practicing attorney in nearby McKinney. Our law firm focuses on personal injury and business litigation and we do not currently service clients in divorce, custody, child support or modification matters. However, clients often approach us when such family law issues arise. Without hesitation, we refer many such clients to Carie Mack because she is knowledgeable, caring and efficient in family law matters. In all cases, our clients have provided exceedingly positive feedback about Ms. Mack. Jason K. Burress The Burress Snellings Law Firm PLLC"

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.
