Carol is the best!

My experience with Carol was simple and excellent. Carol made me feel comfortable, secure and she went out of her way to help me. I appreciate her guidance, good morale, and integrity. She represented me so well and I would recommend her to anybody seeking legal counsel.

3 times hired 3 times we won!

I hired Carol Tribbey 3 times over the past 4years...First time was for family court to get life time child support for my special needs son which she worked hard on paperwork, evidence and finding father to serve (since he was hiding service) we got everything we asked for...Second times was to rep...resent me in a child support hiring my ex falsely requested knowing that family court order states mediation first (which Carol smartly asked family court judge to place in orders prior to this happening)...Carol got it thrown out without even having the hiring, ex and ex's lawyer was not happy...I was...lol...Last was this past July for guardianship of my special needs son since he just turned 18years old...Carol had to get a process server for a out of state service to my son's dad and she made every effort to find a Processor in the state and made all efforts needed to try and contact him, which made it easy for me to get the full guardianship because true effort was made to contact him...Carol always got back to me in a timely manner, spent time explaining the process, offering me suggestions and advice, helped me to find evidence to support my case and always caring about the outcome...She treats you like family with genuine care!

TRO CASE

I hired Attorney Carol Tribbey for my TRO case, I was worried but Atty. Tribbey got sorted out after just a couple of meetings. My TRO case was dismissed and i got my kids back.

Divorce Lawyer

I would like to thank Carol for handling my divorce proceeding. She is very professional and knowledgeable and is easy to talk to. She always answered my phone calls or returned them quickly whenever I had a question. I would highly recommend Carol, as I interviewed two other attorneys before dec...iding to go with Carol. She is very attentive and takes the time to listen to what you have to say. I appreciate all that she did for me.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • 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.
