Posted by doris | November 05, 2020 | Hired Attorney | Bankruptcy & Debt

Really appreciated the guidance of this attorney!

Carol made the whole process of bankruptcy feel less daunting and worked with us to be thorough and organized to get it done! We really appreciated her professional attitude and understanding of our situation to complete what was needed and made us feel much more confident of our situation going for...ward. She was thoughtful and easy to work with and great at communication and reassurance of all that we didnt understand! I would recommend her to anyone in need of an attorney and have thanked my close friend for recommending her repeatedly!

Posted by Richard | April 04, 2019 | Hired Attorney | Guardianship

An Attorney who can solve your legal problems.

Carol can take on the most difficult problems that may arise concerning Guardianship, Elder law, and other legal issues that may unexpectantly arise. She is understanding, thorough, and accomplishes the complex tasks at hand with competence and grace. Carol solved the difficult problems that arose... for my 94 year old Mom, allowing her to return to a safe home and be financially secure. Carol offers solid legal advice, remains constantly available, and I would give her my best recommendation for helping you and your family.

North Texas Trucking Vs LJL Management

Carol did a great job handling my case and she was very professional! She knew what and what not to do in order to get my case settled before it went to trial. I would highly recommend her and will continue doing business with her as long as needed. One of the most important things I would like to co...mment on is the fact that she actually cares about her clients and does everything possible to help you understand what and how things work throughout your case. Again, I appreciate her and would highly recommend her!

Excellent Attorney for Guardianship Law

Carol Wolfram represented a friend for whom I acted as Guardian and did a masterful job representing him and his right to live out his life on his terms in the face of a terminal diagnosis. Not only was Carol diligent and insightful, but also intuitive and sensitive to my friend's end of life dignit...y. She not only knew her stuff professionally, but added a very human dimension at a very difficult time. I would gladly recommend her as legal counsel for all matters regarding Guardianship and family matters.

Posted by Paula Flowerday | September 23, 2015 | Hired Attorney | Probate

Excellent Litigation and Bankruptcy attorney

I asked Carol to represent me as the administrator of a probate estate to file a lawsuit against some of the decedent's heirs for breach of fiduciary duty. Carol was thorough and extremely professional, especially in view of the high emotions surrounding the case. When the case ended up in bankrupt...cy court, I was grateful for Carol's expertise in that area as well. Although I am an attorney, I am not a litigator nor a bankruptcy attorney. Carol explained all issues surrounding the case in both courts without being condescending. I highly recommend Carol for any litigation or bankruptcy matter.
