About Carrie

ARIZONA'S FAMILY LAW TEAM - Experienced Divorce & Family Law Attorney

I am originally from a small town in Illinois, but gravitated to the "big city" for college and law school.  I attended North Central College in Naperville, Illinois, a suburb of Chicago, and The John Marshall Law School in Chicago, Illinois.  The story goes, that I have wanted to be a lawyer since the 5th grade. 

 

After visiting the valley several times, my husband and I moved to Phoenix, Arizona in 2006.  I have three beautiful children that keep me on my toes.  When I do have spare time, I enjoy reading, running, and golfing.

Review Carrie Cravatta

Carrie is the best

Posted by

Carrie worked tirelessly on my severance case for my 3 year old son to keep him safe from his biological father. We won the case even after going to trial. It was such a long process but Carrie walked us through it perfectly. Will always come back to Carrie for family court help. My husband and I are forever indebted to her!

Very personal

Carrie was very personal and listened to my wants and needs of the outcome. I am also using her services again for another custody case.

Awesome...

We would have been lost without the expertise, experience and talent of Carrie. Through the winding roads of a family law case she has demonstrated compassion and concern for my grandson. The direction and projecting what ifs and what coulds were right on target. This was a definite benefit to us emotionally as we were prepared for every dip and turn. My son won physical custody...we are blessed. Thank you Carrie, you're the best!

Thank you Carrie

At the time of my divorce, I didn't think Carrie helped me any special way. After I had to go to another state and handle child custody, I realized Carrie had fought for things I didn't realizer were important at the time. Looking back, I appreciate her fighting for things to be on the decree that I didn't realize should be on there. Thank you Carrie.

Professional, Ethical, and Attentive

Posted by

It's unfortunate that clients feel they have had negative experiences with Carrie. Obviously, they have not had many attorney interactions. Carrie Cravatta is an excellent attorney. At my first consultation in August, she advised me that she could take my parenting time/child support modification case; however, she was pregnant and was due to deliver around the time we would need to prep for trial. She said she was willing to take the case but that someone else would need to represent me at trial. While on maternity leave, Carrie worked my case and represented me in trial. She has been attentive to my emails, phone calls, and concerns. I have had an extremely positive experience with her and if there were more attorneys like her, clients like myself wouldn't have spent $50k on the initial case in attorney fees.

Ms. Cravatta assisted me in my family law divorce and custody case. She was always available to answer my questions as well as address my concerns immediately. I was constantly being updated on my case and the rulings, as she acted as if I were her only client. She made me feel extremely comfortable and gave me confidence which I initially lacked. Carrie Cravatta ended up winning me full custody of my two children and a substantial child support Order. I would eagerly recommend this attorney to anyone. I have already recommended her to my aunt and a close friend of mine's sister. Carrie Cravatta's knowledge and overall case-work quality are outstanding.

Wonderful to deal with!

I hired Carrie to help me with child custody modification. She was so nice and caring, her paralegal Emily the same. I felt like i was their only client and that they were totally invested in helping me. In the end with her help i was able to get way more time than my ex had been willing to give me. I felt that I could trust her, which goes a long way when talking about lawyers. Never did i feel any question I had was dumb to them. They answered all my questions. Definitely would use them again! Well I hope I don't, but if I need to use any lawyers Carrie would be the one i turn to.

Worst attorney to represent a man.

If your a guy, do not hire Carrie Cravatta. Carrie pulled off some pretty shady tactics, like running my retainer out right before a court date, then holding important documents and motions over my head until I paid. Also sent me emails minutes before a hearing outlining what she was going to bring up in court, then never did. I had to bring up the issues on my own. This attorney was a joke at best and I'm checking into a possible lawsuit. Read the previous reviews carefully. Yeah, kinda sounds like family and friends to me too.

Beware before you retain

Posted by

Carrie Cravatta was hired for a Family Law matter in late 2014. Mrs. Cravatta was taking new clients being 8 months pregnant. She failed to communicate or respond to emails and phone calls. Her paralegal Emily attempted to do a lot of the footwork but was sloppy. Several issues with Mrs. Cravatta that I believe many should know. She is not honest and gave false hope. Never advising of possible outcomes. She is lazy and turns in her paperwork after judicial deadlines. Trying to get a hold of her is like finding a needle in a haystack. She than says she didn't receive phone calls, voice messages, emails, mailed in papers or papers that were hand delivered. If this is truly the case than also beware that your personal file will be misplaced, lost and or not protected. Should you require a dirty unethical lawyer she might be your gal. If honesty, integrity and time are important... Put your money into someone other than Carrie Cravatta.

Poor Service

Posted by

I left several emails and calls for about a period of a month with no return calls. I handed in a packet of information wich needed to be recorded within a set amount of time. After many attempts and failures to contact, THE DAY OF the final recording date I was informed that my attorney was no longer with the firm and that Carrie was substituted to file the papers. I have tried 3 times in a week to get Carrie to call me and she still hasn't.
