Carmel Catherine D'Amato

My child literally needed help with the situation he was in and she completely made it worse for him . Showed up to court seething with anger you could feel it she was so mad tried to stare down the opposition the entire time . Truly sad when a lawyer only cares about money and doesnt care about ppl ...

Carmel D’Amato is an outstanding family law attorney and I feel fortunate to have had the opportunity to work with her and her team at Seinturier and D’Amato. Of particular importance to me, she listens carefully to her clients and asks good questions in order to understand their goals and needs. S...he provided me with excellent advice based on the facts of my case and what I told her my goals were. Of particular importance, she helped me understand the difference between what I wanted and thought was fair, based on what I read about California family law, and what were likely outcomes given the reality of California family law and the family law system in Shasta county. I was very impressed by Carmel’s ability to maintain her integrity, composure, and good humor despite the difficulties of this flawed system and the challenges of dealing with opponents who are willing to sacrifice their integrity and constantly mislead the court to gain an advantage. In the end, I got what I consider to be an excellent settlement that allowed me to move on with my life.

Carmel may be young but her level of knowledge is far beyond her years. I had such a great experience having her represent my case. She really levels with people, she talks to you not at you. She really knows how to get the job done. Never in my mind did I doubt I would lose my case having her by my... side. I highly recommend Carmel when dealing with custody matters. A true role model to young women. I was truly taken aback by her.

Carmel was and still is an incredible attorney. I had a divorce and custody battle with an abusing husband and father. She was kind, gentle, and truly helped me when I thought I was not going to make it through. She is a true professional in the court room, does not take crap and was amazing with the... cross examination. I interviewed six attorney's before I chose Carmel. She is absolutely who you want on your side in the court room.
