Champion!

We all know, divorce is not a fun thing. Throughout the process I had many questions, and Carolyn and I were both faced with frustrating stall tactics and endless excuses. Carolyn never faltered, never paused, and never stopped being my champion. She also answered every single one of my questions c...learly and quickly. I can't imagine what it would be like, having to go through even a day of that process without her! Carolyn possesses great patience and insight, and the ability to continue driving through the storm. She and her team are top notch! If there were more stars to give, I'd use them all!

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.
