Stay away!!

This woman is not a good person let alone a good attorney. If you have money, she will represent the scum of the earth. She has no issues putting children at risk/endanger so long as she gets paid. She will act like she cares but once your bank account is empty, she has no interest. It’s a...lmost like a competition, horrible horrible person.

Rock Star Attorney

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.

Perfect for the Job

I found Carmel in a particularly difficult time in my life. I was going through a divorce and had small children at home to take care of. During one of my court appearances I noticed her. She was so poised, eloquent, professional and she knew what she was talking about. You could tell that the ju...dge was listening to what she had to say and her argument was sound. Once she was done with her case I followed her to the hallway and asked for a card. She was very pleasant and even asked me what was happening with my case. From that point on I knew that she was the attorney for me. She cared about what happened to me and my children. She wanted to make sure that I received the spousal and child support that I was entitled to. She was also a great help with figuring out how my ex and I should spilt the property, which was not an easy task. Another thing that I appreciated was that she would get back to me in a timely manner. I feel like one of the major things complaints people have is that their attorney never gets back to them. That is not the case with Carmel, she would always get back to me, the only time it would take a while is if she was in trial. I would recommend her to anyone and everyone.
