Amazing Lawyer and Human Being...

Divorces are certainly not high point of the life, and it is easy to not see forest from the trees, spending excessive time caught in details of how to unravel relation that (obviously) doesn't have a future. Some attorneys may completely focus you on those legal details at the expense of big picture... (and a lot of legal cost, that could easily exceed value of assets/conditions in question). Not Care - she cares about you not only as a client and source of income, but as human being. She helped me not just by addressing legal side of the case, but also addressing it in a way that helped me orient myself on future. All of that while still addressing legal side of the case in very professional and knowledgable manner. Noone says about attorney "I would love to work with her again" as you don't want to be in situation that you need one. But if you happen to in such situation, I would highly recommend Care.

Authentic and Effortlessly Brilliant

Thank you Care! Care changed my life. I faced a sudden, nuanced legal situation in June of 2017 that threatened to completely and permanently upend both my career and the well-being of my two gorgeous children. At that unforeseen time of crisis for me, Care Enichen was able to calmly absorb and m...ake use of a great deal of information coming at her at the speed of sound. My sound. Like an expert triage doctor/surgeon with the most comforting bedside manner I have ever witnessed, what was relevant and useful legally was utilized in full, and what was less useful legally was still essential to her at an emotional level, as she formed a human bond with me, her client. It’s that human connection that seems to drive her to show up at work and court every day. Care helps people, not clients, and I’m guessing that her ability to find and empathize with that real human inside everyone who she chooses to represent is the key to her successful outcomes, and also is what makes her just a wonderful woman. The word “represents” takes on a new, less legalistic meaning here for me, as I think Care gets inside her client’s very skin, which enables her to go to court truly on his or her behalf, as more than their lawyer, but really speaking through them. In a cynical legal world of perfunctory gestures at humanity and advocacy, I think that her natural ability to remind judges, and even the opposing side, that clients are real flesh and blood people with unique and complex lives, is disarming and refreshing to all involved. Care is quite capable of going fully to the mat when necessary, but I’m guessing that her preferred method is to first make the fight less mortal before the fight even begins. I also never expected to see a cent of my retainer returned, but Care charged only precisely what she could justify to herself, and she is worth far more than it set me back. Thanks again Care, to you, and to George Bauer and the rest of your terrific paralegal team, on behalf of myself and my children. Having you in my corner when I needed you was something I will always be grateful for. BL

Thank you Care, you are the BEST

This attorney saved my son. Two years ago my world was turned upside down. My college aged son found himself charged with DUI and numerous other charges. I interviewed three highly rated lawyers and decided to hire Care. This was the best decision I ever made. She was very knowledgeable and ...compassionate about our situation. Honestly, she helped me as much mentally during this difficult experience as she did legally. Care always kept us informed and up to date on our options and possible outcomes. Granted no lawyer can predict the future, but the outcomes were exactly what she predicted, which was very good. Thank you Care for your support and legal expertise. We could not of made it without you.

Relief

I got myself in to some troublea few months back. I almost caught a charge that would have cost me my job and would have made my life a living hell. I didn't know what to do but knew I need a lawyer. I googled how to pick a lawyer. The advice that made the most sense came down to two options. Find so...mebody who has experience in the court you will be going to, or sit in on some court sessions to fin a lawyer that is kicking some butt. I didn't have the luxury of sitting in court and most reviews of local lawyers were less than great. At the time Care had only good reviews and was also a judge in the court I was going to for 8 years. Anyway, my experience was good. It wasn't perfect but I would use Care again. On a personal level I think Care is a good person and did an amazing job for me. I honestly think if I hired anyone else my outcome would have been much different. I was so close to getting in big trouble. The negative is the paralegal that works with Care misinformed me on some very important information that could have gotten me into a lot of trouble. She also shredded the initial notes by mistake that Care had taken and then charged me her hourly rate to retake the notes so I wasn't to happy about that. None the less in my opinion if you were on the fence about which lawyer to hire I would take a leap of faith and give Care a shot.
