Excellent attorney! Literally saved my kids and me!

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!

Impeccable, smart, compassionate and highly recommended

Cara was absolutely phenomenal. I spent a year and half in court ensconced in a deep custody battle that was tumultuous. We had several court hearings and a PPA2 prior to our final judgment. I was awarded full custody of our daughter. Less than one year later, my ex-husband filed an RFO for a modific...ation to the visitation schedule and a request to lower his support payments. Cara took the time of her own accord to review the files and paperwork as well as research the current situation in depth. She had a keen understanding of narcissism and how it plays out in the court systems, especially as it relates to custody dynamics and was realistic, thorough and succinct in all communications with me prior to our hearing, as well as caring as to what was in the best interest always for our daughter. This type of care is not found often and especially when it's matched with an aggressive and intelligent attorney. She guided me in the correct ways and requested all appropriate evidence required to establish, without a shadow of doubt, our position. Her declarations were thoughtful, clear, well written and backed by a solid understanding of the legal system, my particular case and how to support our daughters best interest. She was compassionate and succinct in her communication with me, considering costs and not taking advantage of her time and my money. She was exceptionally prepared the day of court and exemplified a superb handle of the case in support of matter. The entire case was dismissed by the judge and our current judgement remains. After the hearing, she prepared the OAH quickly, efficiently and took the time to make sure I had the correct information and contact details to make arrangements with CSSD, and move forward with managing the follow through in my ex-husbands obligations to the judgement. I would highly recommend her and this firm, especially as it relates to family law. I feel very grateful I was referred to her and would use this firm again, without a second thought, should further proceedings arise. Their rates are competitive and fair and they provided service far and beyond what others do, in my experience. Highly, highly recommend!
