This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Thorough and Effective Legal Counsel

Carrie helped me with a complicated dispute involving the property management company of the apartment building I used to live in. She was thorough, efficient, and effective. She is an excellent communicator and updated me appropriately and promptly throughout the process. She was also respectful of ...my budget and worked with me to make sure I was clear about the plan. Our demands were ultimately met, thanks to her perseverance and her pledge to not let this large company continue to take advantage of me. I learned so much from working with her and feel so lucky to have met her. She did an outstanding job, and I highly recommend her to be anyone's advocate.
