Knowledgeable and attentive

I hired Mr. Carey to represent me for a Board of Behavioral Health issue. He explained the process, guided me, and kept me updated with with every step. I am truly grateful to him and his office staff who are also very responsive.

Honest, Quick Response time, Extremely knowledgeable

I had a complicated issue and Flynn was not only thorough, but he was also extremely honest. He took the time to go over every possible scenario in detail and was immediately forthcoming about whether I had any options. I am very grateful to have so much information in just a consultation. He would ...be the only attorney I use and I have consulted several.

Invested and Realistic

Flynn helped drop my DUI to Reckless Driving. He was invested in my case and extremely timely on filing motions with the court making sure I was able to keep driving. What I most liked about Flynn was that he was realistic and explained to me the potential consequences — it wasn’t sugar coded and it... prepared me for the worst outcome.

Flynn Carey:

I spoke with three other lawyers before I talked to Mr. Flynn Carey to help me deal with having been arrested for DUI. I was completely sober, but because of various physical ailments I failed some of the "sobriety tests." Not having any experience with lawyers, I was shocked by the way the previous ...lawyers treated me: guilty until proven innocent. I felt as though they were further traumatizing me. Then I was referred to Mr. Carey by someone with the same ailments on a support group website. He treated me with respect and dignity--even though he could not possibly know with any certainty that I was innocent. None of the other lawyers even mentioned the possibility of having the charges dismissed before going to court. They were quoting me very high prices, assuming I would have to go to court. After listening to my story, Mr. Carey focused exclusively on having the charge dismissed. I detected a clear and quick intellect, without the gruffness of the other lawyers. He was articulate, displayed a keen focus on details, and explained everything carefully. He was proactive, advising me to take steps right away even though it might be months before the case came to the attention of the prosecuting attorney. He seemed to be on good terms with such people and also potential judges. He did not give any unwarranted promises. He was thorough in his advice about the material I should get such as letters from doctors and results of tests. He was understanding and even compassionate, while remaining completely professional and logical. The other lawyers made be skeptical about the judicial system, while Mr. Carey gave me back the trust. Now that the matter has been resolved, I can report that his charges were far less that even the lowest quote offered by others. In short, he is a lawyer who commands respect while showing respect, and who can be trusted to do everything in his power to advocate on his clients' behalf.

Great lawyer!

Flynn Carey took care of a case I had several months ago. He was incredibly easy to work with, straight to the point and helped me get my professional license. I was being ignored by a licensing organization for a complaint against me a couple years ago which should have been dropped and taken care o...f several years ago. With his legal professional assistance I had my license in a couple weeks. I highly recommend him!

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"For only the second time in my 25-year legal career, I had the need to retain the services of another attorney. (Title IX matter). Flynn came highly recommended and I now know why. His knowledge of the law and procedures were matched only by his experience and familiarity with the various parties on the other side. Phone calls and e-mails were responded to immediately -- even on weekends. We achieved an outstanding result and are very grateful."
