Family law

Ms.Plemmons is a intelligent and hardworking attorney. I have been through the ringer with different representations before finding Caroline. She worked hard and gave me a voice. There will never be a time that walking into a family custody case that won’t be scary and difficult but with Caroline, I ...knew she did the work, was present in the case, and knew her facts. She called my child by her first name and genuinely cared for the situation. The case was complex and difficult and she was extremely prepared. There is not enough good things I could say about her professionalism. I am extremely grateful to have found a amazing attorney who fights for their clients!

Best Divorce Attorney I could have ever asked for

Honestly, divorce is not something any of us wish to go through, but if you have to do it, Caroline was the best attorney I could have possible hoped for. My divorce was not easy. I had to deal with a difficult ex and custody issues. Caroline explained the process clearly and accurately. She let me k...now what to expect every step of the way. She set realistic expectations, and when things did not progress as we had hoped, she provided me valuable feedback and alternative solutions. She is always available and promptly answered all my emails. Finally, I received my divorce decree today. It was such an emotional journey and one I am so grateful to have had Caroline's help with.

Incredibly Helpful

Ms Plemmons assisted me with a family matter over the course of two months. She contacted the opposing attorney multiple times, achieving our goal while keeping us out of court. Her original letter to the attorney stated our needs in a manner that created a way for everyone to "win" and insulted no o...ne. Her knowledge of the law and her efficiency were both impressive. I would use her again in a heartbeat.

  • 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.
