Awesome Amicus

Ms. Carlin represented my son in a custody suit. She went above and beyond what I expected and it was clear she truly cared about his best interests. The suit has been over for a year now, and she still follows up to make sure he is doing well. She goes the extra mile for kids and was a blessing t...o our family.

Very Responsive and Informative

I'm currently using Amy for the second time. In my first case, she represented my children's circumstances amazingly well and she communicated very cleraly and thoroughly. She made an extremely emotional situation (regarding an emergency protective order for my children) much easier to handle. When I... had the unexpected need for an attorney again, Amy responded to my initial contact within a few minutes (in the evening - well after normal working hours). While my current case isn't yet resolved, I'm still having the same experience as before. Amy is actively working to do her best to make sure that my interests and what is best for my child is represented to the court. Hopefully we can avoid trial but if we have to get that far, I have no doubt she'll continue to be the best advocate I could ask for.

Great Experience

Handled my divorce seamlessly. She cared about my children, my finances and made sure the process was as quick and inexpensive as possible. She still checks in on my kids to see how they are doing. I could not have been referred to a kinder attorney.

Highly Recommend

I had 3 lawyers before Ms Carlin and nobody worked as hard for me as she did. She believed in me and she fought hard for me. Ms Carlin cared about me and my baby and I will always be thankful for her.

Highly recommend

Ms. Carlin represented my son in a custody dispute. I can honestly say everything she did was with his best interest at heart. She brought calm and peace to him during a time that was confusing and potentially very traumatic. She clearly loves children and the law, and I feel blessed that she was ...gifted to my son.

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.
