Carly Ashby Almonte

Carly is truly one of the best family law attorneys. I work in the legal field and have had a few attorneys prior to her so I think I have insider ‘s view on who and what makes a great attorney. Carly is that amazing attorney that you need to have as your voice and advocate. She listens and cares.... She knows the law and how to fight for you. Her ability to put together the facts of your case into a cohesive and well-thought out legal brief is impressive. Carly is highly intelligent and has a rare gift for turning complex legal issues into straightforward, compelling arguments. If you want an attorney who can powerfully advocate for you, she is the one to hire. If you need a family law attorney, Carly is the one you want in your corner.

I will always refer people to Carly and her wonderful team! She’s not just into it for your money, but really cares! She helped me in a bad situation that I had to start fighting pro-se against an experienced lawyer. She came in and was able to help me and has continued to help me since. She also lis...tens to, gets back to you fast and explains things that I had/have absolutely no idea about. I am very thankful for Carly’s help throughout this whole process!

It took a while to find the right attorney for my divorce case, yet Carly Almonte was well worth the wait! After talking with many of the family lawyers in town who encouraged me to simply "stick it out" until my kids were older--even as my husband became increasingly coercive, controlling, and vi...olent--I was understandably frustrated and discouraged. I could not fathom how this well-meaning advice was best for myself or for my two daughters barely 2 and 3 years old. Carly was the first attorney who took my situation seriously, and I'm so grateful she did. Carly listened patiently as I explained my experience and quickly identified my situation as more than a traditional divorce case. The thread of domestic violence throughout was clear. Her steady presence and clear head led me through each step of the process from drafting and receiving a domestic violence protection order to strategizing the usefulness of evidence for his psychological evaluation to successfully negotiating the final terms of the divorce including parenting plan, child support, and division of assets. Her efforts undoubtedly saved me the pain of a lengthy and costly trial. Multiple attorneys in town told me I should expect to lose my kids, my home, and most of my assets in the divorce. They could not have been more wrong! In the end, I received primary custody of my kids, sole decision-making on their behalf, and limited residential time for my ex. I did not have to pay for alimony nor was the division of assets inequitable. Finally, Carly was even able to successfully advocate for a 22% increase in the child support I received between the temporary and final child support order. I cannot recommend Carly enough for any domestic violence, divorce, or child custody cases.

Going through a divorce after 32 years of marriage is never easy, but having Carly as my attorney made all the difference. From the very beginning, she was professional, strategic, and relentless in advocating for me. My ex-wife was demanding $5,500 per month in spousal support. Throughout the pro...cess, Carly worked tirelessly to uncover the truth—exposing hidden bank accounts and proving multiple misrepresentations. Thanks to her hard work, integrity, and tenacity, she was able to convince the court to reduce my monthly obligation to just $600 per month. Carly is the kind of attorney you want in your corner. She fights hard, knows the law inside and out, and genuinely cares about her clients. I’m incredibly grateful for everything she did for me and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone facing a difficult divorce. Thank you, Carly, for everything.
