This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

You’ve got to be kidding me!

Carla was a horrible attorney for me! It was in 2011 I came to her with threats on my life from my husband and seeking a divorce. Her assistant Catherine MacCarthy did ALL the work and answer all my questions, Carla was sick but never was apologetic in her absence as my attorney. I didn’t receive wh...at I should have because she wasn’t willing to stand up to my husbands attorney. I decided to see if she was still an attorney even, when I read all these nice reviews and had to get my truth out there.

Dear Barbara, I am sorry to hear that you were unhappy with your experience so many years ago. Divorce is an incredibly difficult and emotional process, and I regret that you felt unsupported during that time. My commitment to every client is to provide dedicated legal representation while navigating the unique complexities of each matter. While I cannot discuss case specifics due to confidentiality, I assure you that I supervised all aspects of your case, including the work handled by my paralegal. It is standard practice in family law to delegate certain tasks to a paralegal to help manage costs for clients, but all work is completed under the attorney's direction and oversight. I appreciate you taking the time to share your perspective, and I wish you the very best moving forward. Best regards, Carla Scarpone

Forever Grateful

If it were not for Carla's help, I'm not sure I would have the life that I share with my daughter today. Navigating the waters of a custody case are overwhelming and scary. Carla was very effective dealing with my emotions given what was at stake and kept me focused on what was important. Carla he...lped debunk the allegations that were on the table and effectively negotiated a settlement out of court. She is a fantastic family attorney and a wonderful person to boot. I'm forever grateful for her help.

Sharp and compassionate family attorney

Carla handled a fairly complicated divorce for me. She was very well prepared in court, often several steps ahead of opposing counsel. She had answers to their questions before they knew what they were going to ask. She took care to ensure what was best for my son and leveraged a combination of ne...gation and the courts to deescalate where possible. This ultimately brought us to settlement in what, by all measures, could have been a contentious and messy process. Above all, I felt like she struck just the right balance between being legally and strategically acute, while still compassionate to the emotional difficulties of divorce. She often asked me of how my son was doing, with honest concern, and clearly wanted to help me achieve a peaceful and fair outcome. I certainly have no plans to get divorced again, but I would highly recommend her to anybody needing a family attorney.

Excellent attorney!

I would highly recommend Carla Scarpone. She did an amazing job, and changed my life. Carla is professional, down to earth, and very knowledgeable.

More than a Lawyer, Family

Carla Scarpone turned one of the most difficult times of my life into a manageable one. I am in the military and was going through a divorce. Carla's delicate handling and complete understanding of my needs enabled me to cope with the situation even after returning from a long deployment. Carla wa...s able to assist me and the ex-wife with working out an acceptable Parenting Plan before we let our personal feelings get the best of us. Even many years later when issues arise, Carla has been there to lend an ear and sound advise. Carla has proven to be more than a lawyer, she is a true friend and will always be considered part of my family.

Relationship: Co-worker

"Carla is a skilled, compassionate family law attorney. She knows how to practice collaboratively, and yet, can drag the biggest misogynists around the courtroom with skill and finesse. Her mental health background gives her common ground with mental health experts, adding value to the client. A first rate attorney who "gets it.""
