DO NOT HIRE

This law firm changes staff constantly so you never know who to talk to. Due to that you are charged for having to resend things that you had already sent or for phone calls to discuss things that you have already discussed several times with past staff members. Carlie is never on time and never prep...ared. She constantly cancels meeting or doesn't show up. In court she made so very inappropriate comments to my ex after court. In court she always made some very inappropriate comments that the judge did not like very much. I trusted her and in the beginning I believe I could trust her but she has changed a lot over the last few years. When she is on it she is very good but she just doesn't seem to have the same fire and ethics as she did.

A true professional!!

I'm not one that usually writes a review but my recent experience with Carlie was my second one and I couldn't think of a better person to represent me in my contempt case against my ex. When I consulted and presented her with my case, she took it without hesitation and began working on it immediate...ly. She showed compassion considering the extreme sensitivity of my case, not once letting her emotions interfere with her professionalism. The support her and her entire staff showed, made a very difficult time as easy as possible always giving positive encouragement. I would not hesitate to retain Carlie's services in the future if the need arises nor would I hesitate to recommend her.

Carlie gives hope and peace of mind

My case started in 2008; I've been using Carlie ever since. My case started as a separation, then turned into a divorce. Then came the custody battle, common property battle, etc... My case turned real ugly real quick. I was overwhelmed and confused, but Carlie remained professional and always took t...he time to explain everything and how the law works. She gave me hope and peace of mind, in such a difficult time of my life. When all the dust finally settled, I was awarded soul custody of all 4 of my children. Mind you, this is 2016 and I've been a single father raising my kids since then. My ex-wife hired her own council, and lied to CPS to get them on her side. They all quickly learned they were no match in court for Carlie's experience and aggressiveness. My ex-wife even went as far as to try and hire Carlie, because she knew... that's how great of an attorney Carlie is. My family and friends know what I've gone through and what Carlie has done for me. So when someone happens to be going through a stage in life which requires a family attorney, I quickly refer them to Carlie, because I know she is among the best. I've posted her contact information several times on Facebook, because everybody knows what she's done for me. Word of mouth is the best advertisement, because people want to see results. Carlie definitely gets good results. I've gone to court almost 30 times; 2 times I went without Carlie and it was disastrous. So I went back to her and rehired her. I've spent a pretty penny in 8 years, but I don't regret it. If you pay cheap for an attorney, you're gonna get a cheap attorney, that only cares about making money. You're going to spend money anyways. So if you want to hire an excellent A+ attorney that genuinely cares about you and whatever your situation may be... Carlie is well worth every penny you spend on her. My kids mean the world to me, and she's fought so hard for me and my kids. You cannot put a price-tag on your kids and family!!

I got Carlie to make certain that things went fairly in my divorce. I got joint custody of my children with the opportunity to be a residential parent. I am delighted! This is what I wanted. Thank you Carlie!

Great lawyer and proactive too!

Going through a divorce is a nerve wracking and emotional experience, more than I could have ever anticipated. Anytime I had questions or fears, Carlie was there with the right answer. Carlie was very proactive in getting my case on track and showed that she and her firm had things under control from... the beginning. I felt very safe letting them handle my divorce, and with the insights and experience she exhibited, I never worried that I made the wrong choice in a lawyer.
