Carolina Scarlette Adams Doney

Carolina Doney has been my lawyer, my strength, my friend, my confidant and my savior. Having originally come in contact with Carolina through her Father, Jack Adams (another superb barrister). Ms. Doney has now handled multiple different cases for me, from getting me QUICKLY approved for disability... (the FIRST application, within 6 months of our attempt) to having a situation of criminal proceedings taken care of through incredibly positive plea results. Carolina keeps you informed, always returns your calls ASAP (and I am NOT easy to keep informed and relieved of worry) and is truly the most competent attorney I've ever had the pleasure to employ. From her wonderful "courtside manner" to her reasonable pricing, from her engaging, calming demeanor to her competency across a wide array of areas of the law I can assure you that you will be MORE than satisfied with Carolina's service. She cares, she lives up to her word, she is a wolverine-like advocate for her clients. God Bless us all that there REALLY are lawyers like Ms. Doney for the defense as a part of our legal system, I am PROUD to be represented by her and I know you will be too.

So I'll begin with my story and then go into what a wonderful job Carolina did. i do not regularly post reviews whether it be negative or positive, but in this case it was definitely something I felt like I had to do. My sister was a victim of a horrible case of domestic violence and was unable t...o function in her capacity at work any longer. It was plain to see from her family and co-workers. Her employer allowed her to stay at work, probably longer than charity deserved until it became unbearable, with her frequent absences, tardiness and numerous medications, they parted ways. Our family pulled together and discussed options. My parents went to the phone book as they did for nearly everything and picked the law firm with the largest picture figuring that they would be the firm with the most resources to take good care of my sister through her disability application. They were met with many promises and sincerity. Within weeks it was evident that the attorney was in it absolutely for the money, keep in mind that my sister was harmed physically and unable to heal mentally in the worst way, she went from her forties back to about a third grader overnight. For brevity's sake; the attorney filed the case, to our shock lost, and immediately reapplied hoping to secure the next go around's chance at the big money. His faults were Carolina's strengths, he never seemed to be committed to the case, or care, for that matter, in a personal way for my sister's plight, he was difficult when trying to explain things and very short with my sister. She does not have her full mental acuity and he made her feel that way which must have been so frustrating for her. We brought our case to Carolina and her wonderful family Adriana and Jack, all whom were involved at some time during the interview and process. From the get go we knew, or better yet, could feel the difference. They actually cared about my sister and her situation. That is very important, when you have someone who can suddenly no longer fend for themselves and feel helpless as a family. Carolina worked hard for us and assured us that she was going to do everything she could for us, we believed it. So this was our last appeal, the last chance to take care of my sister, if she did not get disability we would need to provide for her for thirty years or more. Carolina went to work for us, she kept us up to date on the drawn out process, she made us feel like it wasn't a lottery but a process that she could influence. We were confident that we were in good hands. Even if the results weren't what we had hoped we knew without a doubt that we had the best team representing out family. The results came back......she was approved! What a relief. I have no doubt that Carolina's experience and hard work made that happen. I do this review in part to say thank you to Carolina, but also, since I know very few people going through this process, to advocate for Carolina. If I could refer her to anyone in a similar circumstance her name would be the first two words out of my mouth. A reference is the best thing one could ask of a client, Carolina deserves many. I wish I could send her more. her professionalism, with her gift of empathy make her a uniquely qualified person in this field. Thank you Carolina, and the Adams Family my family appreciates your hard work so much.
