Not worth the money

Her contact with me was atrocious. Getting updates was like pulling teeth. She was unprepared for court, did not know what she was talking about in court, had to remind her things as we went. I worked out an agreement with my EX and it took her over a month and half to draw it up, by then my ex ch...anged her mind. went back to court, judge said come to an agreement. Again my ex and I worked it out ourselves, told Carlie to draw it up, here we are 3 weeks later, and still nothing. Asked her via email, and her assistant over the phone about updates and was told nothing. She is quick to charge for every little email, quick to ask for that next check, but very slow at actually working the case. I handed her a slam dunk, and its turned into a 8k investment that's a joke. I will be reporting her to the bar, and seeking money back. Also her billing is a joke, I submit payment, 3 weeks later she is still asking for money. I have to call her office and remind them to post the payment. This run out of the house wanna be law firm is an overpriced joke.

I highly recommed carlie she's Amazing!!!!!!!!

I highly recommed carlie, she's aggressive when it comes to work on a case, she goes to the point. I can say im so satify with her work. She worked my case with so much passion and proffessionalism she left me with my mouth open when we went inside that court room she became Ms. fighter of fighters. ...Thank you! Carlie.

Great Lawyer

Carlie was on top of her game. She was quick to respond to my questions and concerns as well as being efficient. I would recommend her to anyone.

Custody nightmare!

Do not hire this lawyer. She was never prepared and didnt know our case. A pretty cut and dry case turned into a horrible disaster because of her!

Rating:  4.9 (Concern)

Professional misconduct

This lawyer was disciplined by a state licensing authority in 2020.

Suspension and Probation issued in AZ, 2020

updated on 12/12/2023

Suspension means an attorney lost his or her license to practice law for a period of time. When the attorney returns to practice he or she will be on probation, meaning the State monitors the attorney's activities for a period of time in hopes that he or she will not repeat the behavior.

Reprimand issued in AZ, 2018

updated on 12/12/2023

This means the attorney did something wrong, but the Bar did not suspend the lawyer. Typically in this case the lawyer's poor behavior is exposed to the public in hopes that he or she will not repeat the behavior.

Admonition and Probation issued in AZ, 2016

updated on 12/12/2023

An admonishment means the attorney did something wrong but may still practice law. While on probation, the State monitors the attorney's activities for a period of time in hopes that he or she will not repeat the behavior.
