Cara Lauren Boroda

Cara is responsive, efficient, and a good communicator. However, I had a number of problems with her as an attorney: 1. Her oral arguments were unconvincing and not justified by written pleadings, which irritated my judge. 2. She encouraged me to fight for things that I really did not care ab...out. I did not get any of them anyway, so it was a waste of money, effort, and good will. 3. The firm as a whole (not just Cara) has very, very heavy-handed billing practices. They did work I did not ask for at tremendous expense to me, and billed me for their internal conversations about my case. They refused to continue working on my case until I paid a (huge) bill in full and replenished my entire retainer, although they were already aware payment was forthcoming imminently from another source. 4. As my case approached settlement, I was ordered (not advised) by the firm to significantly modify the terms of the deal that I had previously agreed to. I did not think was fair or good advice. I felt like the firm took advantage of the fact that I was in a desperate situation and tried to squeeze as much money out of me as possible. In retrospect, I could have gotten the same judgment by walking in the court room without any representation at all, since nothing Cara advised me to fight for was awarded, and most of what I did receive was standard. Overall Cara is knowledgable about the law, and more productive and responsive than some attorneys, but I very much regret hiring her due to the counterproductive advice, lack of strategy, and remarkable expense.

I was referred to Cara by a friend of mine who is also a lawyer (but practices a different type of law). Best. Referral. Ever! Words could never express how grateful I am to Cara and the amazing job she did for me. I have to believe that my case was much more difficult than most cases. Not only is... my ex extremely difficult to deal with, but she had a pitbull of an attorney who tried to pull every punch in the book. Cara never wavered. She handled the case with the utmost professionalism and integrity, stood hard and fast in the face of very difficult opposition, and got me the results I was so desperately after. Most importantly, SHE KEPT MY KIDS SAFE! I have had other lawyers in the past take advantage of the desperate and emotional state this case created for me, but not Cara - she was extremely sensitive and meticulous with me throughout handling my case. It was totally clear her expertise is second to none. Her demeanor in court was both intelligent and tenacious. While I do pray I will never need to contact a family lawyer again, I am so glad to know that if I ever do I have Cara's number stored in more phone, and I will have no hesitation calling! I highly recommend her as an incredible family law attorney!

Cara was very professional and easy to communicate with. She was honest with me about how much things would cost and discouraged me from pursuing legal actions that wouldn't have been worth the money, time, or stress. The case was wrapped up in a timely manner and communication was clear and efficien...t.

After 3.5 years making no progress with two prior mediators, one of which was a retired family law judge, I retained Cara Boroda to bring my divorce to a close. Our case wasn't complicated, but it was contentious and Cara was the perfect divorce attorney to bring it to a resolution. Cara's approachab...le, professional style immediately established rapport with both opposing counsel and our mediating judge. She quickly learned the merits and my case, digested the facts, sorted out areas of disagreement, and went to work on a strategy driving for closure. Cara effectively led both parties to a settlement in one settlement conference, finally bringing this divorce to a close in ONE settlement conference. She accomplished in one meeting what several attorneys and tens of thousands of dollars couldn't do. I can't say enough good things about Cara and Marlo. They are driven to deliver results, and are exceptionally smart, fair, honest, and capable attorneys. I highly recommend their services to anyone needing family law services.
