Carolyn M. Kelly

I hired her for my divorce to facilitate the process. It was not a terribly contentious divorce, but she acted like it was- as if my husband was hiding money or being devious. She was snarky in her responses to me via email and seemed irritated with me about how I wanted MY divorce to go. My divorce ...is final, but there is still one piece of the settlement pending. I found out my divorce decree was final after I emailed the courts and received the information that my divorce was finalized 3 days before. I did not receive my divorce decree. It was sent to Carolyn. I received it 1 month later, when i had to request it form her, which was too late to change my health insurance dependents. The IRS has very specific rules about this, which I would expect a divorce attorney to know. So, I will end up paying and additional $2500 this year due to not receiving timely information. She took zero responsibility for this other than letting me know I seemed upset. When I indicated that she should acknowledge her responsibility in costing me $2500, she terminated her contract with me. I find this very disappointing and not worth the money I paid.

Didn't get past the consultation, barely made it through the entire hour. She's extremely judgemental and doesn't listen. Asked questions I'd already given information on and assumed she knew what my answers were going to be on other questions. Asked the same question twice in a row while staring me ...down...not believed the first time? I was not looking for the same treatment as I receive from my (divorcing) spouse, but that's exactly what I got! Not for someone leaving an abusive relationship, she'll add to the trauma if you hire her. Most expensive lemonade I've ever had.

My son was accused of a serious crime that he did not commit. He received the notice on a Thursday afternoon and was told to appear in court on the following Monday. I searched online to find a local attorney who specialized in the area of law that would address the complaint and gave several to my... son to contact. Most did not respond or indicated that they were not interested. Carolyn recognized the seriousness of the situation, responded immediately and represented my son in court that Monday. She stayed with him throughout the legal process, bringing in additional professionals as needed. It was a great comfort to have someone who could allay our fears and anxiety. She was able to have the complaint dismissed with prejudice, which was the best possible outcome. We would definitely use her services again and recommend her highly.
