Happy Client

I hired Carol for a disability discrimination case and unpaid overtime case against my former employer. During our first meeting, she told me she may be able to get me a year's salary. The case progressed to the mediation stage, and at the conclusion of a confidential mediation, the case was resolved... in the upper five figures, and represented greater than a year's salary for me. Carol's rate was extremely reasonable, and the settlement even exceeded her original estimate, which I found impressive. I know Carol does multi-million dollar cases so this kind of settlement is probably "small" in the greater scheme of her practice but to me personally, the settlement amount is substantial and meaningful and will make a practical difference in my life. I'm definitely happy that I hired her.

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I endorse this lawyer. I have known Carol for several years. She is an excellent trial lawyer who cares deeply for her clients. She is a regular speaker and author on employment and other legal topics, is considered an expert in her field. She has taken on very difficult cases that others would not have risked. After I transitioned to becoming a mediator, I had the opportunity to mediate cases with Carol, and she brought the same high level of skills and preparation to the mediation, along with demonstrated having earned respect from her clients. From communications with her opponents in those cases, it appeared that there was respect between them as well."

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I endorse this lawyer. She is amazingly knowledgeable in substantive law as well as trial procedure and strategy. She consistently strives to do what is best for the client, regardless of what it means to her own pocketbook. In the case we co-counseled, I so admired her commitment to the client and her professional ethics."

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
