Best family law attorney
I can't say enough good things about Carolyn Robertson. Watching her fight for me and my child in the courtroom was impressive every time, and I am more than grateful that I was recommended to her. It's thanks to her my child is safe. Thank you, Carolyn Robertson.

Replied last August 24, 2023This particular man, George Eric Saldana, is an opposing party in one of my custody cases, despite his having checked the box claiming that he consulted with me as a potential client. This man believes that he should have custody of his 7 year old son, despite the fact that he beat and traumatized this autistic boy on numerous occasions, held a gun to the mother's head on at least three occasions, held a gun to his own head and threatened suicide on another 3 occasions, made a suicide attempt by crashing his motorcycle and ending up hospitalized on suicide watch for 3 months, has numerous documented mental illnesses, and believes he needs to wear a bulletproof vest to Court because he is accusing the bailiffs of wanting to kill him. It's my job to keep him from ever hurting his son again, and I take that job seriously. It doesn't surprise me at all that he doesn't like me very much.

Absolutely Horrible Attorney
I’m a man and felt less than a person dealing with this attorney. She stopped taking my calls after I paid her thousands and thousands of dollars in a child custody case. Please do better and find another career.

Replied last August 24, 2023Another review from George Eric Saldana who is not, and never has been, a client of mine.

Terrible attorney - Does not do her job and tasteless
Carolyn made a huge mistake on my final divorce decree and it has cost me thousands of dollars. She tried to rectify her mistake with a Nunc Pro Tunc, but after opposing counsel and my ex signed it she refused to file it with the court because I missed a payment. 3 years later and she still has not f...

Replied last May 14, 2023I took this case as a favor to the friend who referred her case to me, charging only half of my normal hourly rate and accepting only $400 as a retainer. Most retainers for highly contested divorces are $5,000 or more. While this person said that she missed "a" payment, she actually refused to pay even 15% of the highly discounted fees and expenses which were billed to her. We even tried to set her up on a payment plan for $50 a week, and then only $20 a week, and she continued to refuse to pay her bill. How many attorneys are willing to do that? My out of pocket costs for expenses on this case totaled more than she ever paid me - therefore, not only did I not get paid for my work, I lost money on her case. The fact that there was an error in her final decree is a direct result of the fact that she refused to review or sign the decree before it was signed by the judge. As she had already refused to pay what she already owed me, I did tell her that I wouldn't correct the error unless she paid down her previous bill. She sent me $20.00 despite owing me thousands. At that point, I prepared the paperwork and even had the other attorney and opposing party sign off on it. I offered her the file along with the paperwork to correct the error, which she only needed to file with the Court. I had to refuse to file those papers myself, to avoid becoming her attorney of record for the post-divorce proceedings which would have resulted in me doing more work without being compensated. She didn't bother to even pick up her file or the necessary paperwork. I guess no good deed goes unpunished, and there are some people who get very angry when you refuse to let them continue to take advantage of you. This person filed a grievance with the State Bar which was completely investigated and then dismissed as I had committed no misconduct.
