Excellent Representation

Professional and uncompromising. Provided excellent service and representation during my divorce.

Posted by Dinh | November 13, 2017 | Hired Attorney | Divorce & Separation

Compassionate and Effective...One Advocate that you WANT on your side!

I've written less than a handful of positive reviews in my life but I felt compelled to write one for Carole. I'm sure you can relate to the emotional and financial toil one experiences during a divorce, restraining order requests, or child custody issues. I found Carole during a time of desperatio...n as I was drowning in all the court proceedings and had retained a terrible money gouging lawyer prior to hiring Carole. Not only was Carole an effective lawyer at advocating for me, she was also extremely compassionate about my circumstances. The judgement made was strongly in my favor and have Carole to that for it!

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
