Amazing

Carol was and is amazing. She is very passionate about what she does. But she is also sympathetic, but also straight to the point. I hired her because my previous attorney who I fired made an absolute mess of everything, and left me in a very bad spot. Carol came in and immediately made an impact, an...d made a difference on how my case was handled. She made me feel comfortable and confident in what we were trying to achieve. She always instilled confidence in me and gave me the best advice on how to handle things the right way. Carol actually doesn’t deserve a five star rating, she deserves a ten, but that’s no an option. I wish I would have found Carol from the beginning of my case, I know it would not have gone on as long as it did. Do I recommend her? Absolutely. Her and her legal assistant Chris are amazing. Chris was also very professional and made sure everything in his scope of work was done, and he also worked with me through different things I had to get done to make sure that it’s done right. This team is awesome. Thanks again for all that you guys have done.

Fabulous Family Law Attorney

To whom it may concern, Carol Ferreyra represented me in the dissolution of my marriage. I felt very lucky to have been able to retain her services as she is very sought after for her legal acumen, and she was highly recommended to me by a friend. I found Carol, and her supporting office staff to ...be extraordinary in every possible way, and every turn, so to speak. Carol procured an excellent settlement for me with very little fanfare. Her expertise of Family Law is unparalleled. In a settlement conference she consistently schooled my husband’s young attorney on the actual law. I felt sorry for opposing counsel for her ignorance, but Carol caught all of the mistakes and incorrect conjectures and explained the reality in a way that was neither condescending nor rude. She comports herself quite professionally , has a lovely gracious way about her, but at the same time is no pushover. She fights for her client endlessly. Any time that I would call her, I received an immediate response. She and her incredible staff were always available to answer any questions that I had. She also is quite respected in the Court community, which helped enormously during Court appearances she made on my behalf. Carol made NO mistakes, literally. All of the paperwork was completed seamlessly. Once my divorce was finalized my only suggestion to Carol was that she should charge a higher hourly rate. The competence she demonstrated is rarely found nowadays. I am still grateful everyday that she was my Attorney.

Truly Grateful

Carol Ferreyra has truly been a blessing to my family. From the initial start of searching for a lawyer, Carol was compassionate and she took the time to explain the process to us. For Carol, the fit was just as important as her services. I was attempting a move away, out of the state and as a single... father, the process was very daunting. Carol and her office stood by us every step of the way and made it as easy as possible. With challenges such as Covid, distance, and finances, Carol was very empathetic to our situation. Without Carol and her great team, I don't think we would have my son right now. Carol did everything in her power to keep cost down whenever possible and kept me in the loop throughout the case on a regular basis. For anyone out there looking for a great child custody lawyer in the Bay Area, I don't think anyone is better. She really cares about her clients.

great attorney to be on your side

I'm so glad I found Carol Ferreyra attorney office for my brother divorce case. She delivered for him, and he got the decision he always wanted - 50:50. Carol was very professional and efficient in her executions. Her price was right for my low income brother. There were a few times when there w...ere mistakes in some of the documentations and after I reviewed them, the mistakes got fixed quickly and resend for review and processed. Over all, I'm glad we found a good attorney like Carol. Thank you Carol and her staff for getting the job done!
