This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Excellent Divorce Attorney

Christy is wonderful to work with, honest, hard working, and I would highly recommend as an family law attorney.

I couldn't be happier right now!!!

I've used Christy for years. She is rational, level-headed, calm, direct, encourages settlement and fairness, and doesn't intentionally try to rial you up. That said, she definitely never hesitates to be tough as nails when needed. Most importantly, she gets results! Her pricing seems fair, and I am ...so pleased with all of the outcomes we've gotten in my family matters over the years. Highly recommend.

A great lawyer who gets the job done.

I have had Christy as my lawyer since 2013 for dealing with my ex husband in a number of issues. She helped draft a response to an out of state court concerning the jurisdiction of child support and custody. Christy and her staff have also handled a visitation modification and a child support hearin...g. In both cases the judgements were in my favor. The visitation was ordered so that the children do not spend the whole summer away and the oldest was able to make his own decisions. The child support was raised. In each case I have been able to contact Christy with any questions and concerns and have always received an answer.

Always kept me infor...med, Always went above and beyond in court, or out. Excellent lawyer for men, highly recommended as a man.

Thank you so much!!

After fighting for years against my ex-husband and his lawyer, I had found myself on the losing end of a tough child custody case; I had gotten to the point of almost giving up. Feeling as though I had nowhere to turn I called Christy Carlisle of the law offices of Carlisle & Gray. Mrs. Carlisle too...k action right away filing to reopen my case and sent us back to mediation once again. Once the mediation report was issued our case was sent back into court and of the first time in years I had someone fighting for my rights as a mother to have my children back. Just having someone by my side in court give me self-empowerment I was able to move forward and fight for what was right. Mrs. Carlisle was extremely professional and had strong presents in the court room, she fought for exactly what I was seeking, explaining everything to me as we went along and gave sound advice on my situation. In the end my ex-husband and I were able to come to an agreement in a settlement conference before having to spend a lot more time and money at trial. Mrs. Carlisle’s services were invaluable; I could never receive this type of outcome in my case without her by my side fighting for me and my children. I highly recommend the Law Offices of Carlisle & Gray and will advocate for their services to anyone and everyone that will listen. Thank you for everything my children and I are eternally grateful!!

  • 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.
