Her profile says 100% family law yet she has been appointed by the court in probate law

I just don't feel this woman really knew what she was doing in probate court. . Her profile says 100 percent family law, yet she gets appointed to represent in probate court over issues that have completely different rules than family court. Thus preventing me as a client from getting the proper r...epresentation I should have had. She wasn't familiar with a lot of the rules and codes that are to be followed in probate court. Didn't understand the true meaning of a referal by the court. She wasn't reasonable and wouldn't try to work anything out with the other party' unless it was her way and by her guidelines.

Excellent attorney

Carolyn Cain is not only extraordinarily smart, she is extremely compassionate. She excels at both written and verbal communication and has a tremendous amount of legal knowledge. Carolyn is not afraid to be honest about the pros and cons of a respective case, and she is also fosters a collaborative ...relationship with her clients. She replies quickly and efficiently to all requests for case status updates, whether it be in person or on phone, or via email or letters. If you retain her, she will keep you abreast of any upcoming deadlines, and assist you in completing any required forms. She is organized and she researches matters thoroughly. She takes her time explaining what is expected of me, and is always open to listen to my suggestions and endless questions. Carolyn has represented me on numerous Probate matters, and I am thrilled at her level of expertise. When she represents me I know that I will supported by someone who has many years of experience, and that whatever the outcome of the case, I will have done the best job that I can do because she was my attorney. I would not hesitate to refer Carolyn Cain to anyone who is seeking an excellent Probate of Family Law attorney.

Attorney Cain is Amazing!

We have had many probate matters with Attorney Cain and she has been great in every one! She really knows her stuff and anything she doesn't remember off the top of her head she is great at finding the actual code sections explaining it. She also answers all of my silly questions (some multiple times...!) and is not arrogant or condescending when explaining things I need to know! She works hard for Conservatees, she is great with probate accountings and she returns phone calls promptly!
