Incredible Advocacy

During a time of extreme emotions and confusion, Caitlin Royse was utterly helpful, professional, effective, and kind. I cannot overstate how grateful we are for Caitlin's experience and poise during hearings, as well as her astute tactical brilliance throughout filing motions and strategizing our ca...se. After a time of prolonged chaos, she has safeguarded my daughter and I through her incredible advocacy, thank you Caitlin!

Posted by Katie | January 10, 2023 | Hired Attorney | Child Custody

Don’t walk, run away from this one.

Caitlin needed to be micromanaged, reminded of information that had been exchanged (and billed) time and time again. She does not know how to go to bat for her clients. Standing next to her in front of a judge I felt as if I was surrounded by opponents. $7000 and time I’ll never get back with my ...son. If I could go back in time, I would not give that overzealous post graduate the benefit of the doubt. All bark, absolutely no bite. She talks a lot. Listening? Not her strong suit. Empathy? Ha! What a cliche bio. Like hiking on a dating app. Try selling cars, Caitlin. I imagine you’d be real good at it. Please, quit your day job.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
