Excellent Attorney!

I have had Carole as an attorney since 2018. She really knows how to handle military personnel cases which are complex enough but she also handled and won my family law case which the Respondent was a Houston police officer going through criminal proceedings, for 5 years. To this day she's my go to f...or returned counsel and enforcement, and I live out of State. I would trust her over anyone. She's worth every penny and has unwavering integrity! I wouldn't go to battle with anyone else!

Rock solid representation

I sought out Carole’s representation after several frustrating attempts to pursue a no-contest divorce over the span of two states and two years. Carole provided rock solid representation that I grew to appreciate from the moment I scheduled the initial intake to the day I received the decree of divo...rce in the mail. She and her staff made every effort to communicate clearly and effectively despite the time difference between us. In fact, 100% of our correspondence was done same-day with the majority of that often occurring within the same hour. Those small details of effort don’t seem like a big deal until your assets and livelihood are at risk. Retaining an attorney was never something I looked forward to but Carole Cross is worth the investment, especially when her firm makes it easy to connect every dime to every action.

Active Duty Military

When I first started this process in Japan. Carole was a straight shooter from the get-go. She did not hold anything back and told it like it is. She let me know what I was entitled to and what my spouse was entitled to. Though at times I was wishy-washy, Carole showed compassion and empathy duri...ng my case. Carole KNOWS military rights! If I had to do it all over again she would most definetly be my #1 choice!

Successful in Getting Military Retirement for Spouse

I'm divorced but entitled to a portion of my former spouse's military retirement. I applied with DFAS and was denied. I spoke with Carole and sent her a retainer. The case was complex because the wording in the 20 year old original divorce decree was not correct. Carole got everything straigh...tened out and then when my ex-spouse wanted changes before he would sign the final paperwork, she went above and beyond to reword certain phrases to please him...although the meaning did not change and I still got exactly what I was entitled to. DFAS has now accepted the request for my spousal military retirement. I had told Carole that money was a real issue, and she said she would take measures to keep the price down where she could. It meant there was a little more work for me, but I was happy to do it so it wouldn't cost so much. I just received a refund of a large portion of the original retainer fee I had to pay. Carole accomplished exactly what I wanted her to. She kept me informed every step of the way, and explained everything so I could understand. She was also thrifty with my money! Carole knows military law and how it relates to families inside and out. She knew every single detail of what DFAS wanted and how to get the info. My former spouse told me numerous times that certain information was not available to him. Carole knew EXACTLY how to get the information. I would highly recommend Carole Cross. She's extremely knowledgable in her area of law practice, she's straightforward, and she knows all of the ins and outs of dealing with the DFAS and uncooperative former spouses. I'm very happy with the service Carole provided. Former Military Spouse

Divorce Case that was reconciled

Carol was kind enough to take my consult on Sat since I arrived home from a military trip to learn my wife filed. She walked me through the process and kept in touch during the period we were reconciling. In the end, we worked it out. Her office returned a partial retainer several months later aft...er the case was dismissed. My wife's lawyer was not so kind. I have said the next time she files for divorce I have first dibs on Carol. :)
