Confidential and Professional

I am so thankful to have found Carinne Weaver for my legal needs. I had a rather delicate situation where I needed her expert legal advice and action. She gave me her attention right away, kept me informed throughout the process and made me feel that my worries and concerns were in the right hands.... I am forever grateful for her work on my case and I would recommend her to anyone who needs guidance, legal help and a sharp legal presence in court.

So glad I found Ms. Senske!

I have had quite a few legal matters in the last year related to a divorce with a lot of moving parts, and have needed several different attorneys for various pieces. My experience with most of them was less than great. Misleading information was given to me, I didn't have a full understanding of the... matter at hand, and it took weeks for one of them to get back to me about anything. I was referred to Ms. Senske for my divorce, and YES! At last, I understand what's going on! She is very attentive, gets back to me immediately, keeps me updated, is patient with explaining everything, and is very clear and concise. Something no one else has done (even when I request it), is she has given me very valuable feedback/advise about what I should do and why that direction would best benefit me. It's too bad I couldn't give her more stars!
