Posted by Jenneh | June 15, 2018 | Hired Attorney | Estate Planning

Highly recommended!

Carolyn is an awesome attorney. She was very thorough and helpful throughout the whole estate process. She answered any and all questions I had and has a quick turnaround with all her responses. And she's super nice! I would highly recommend her to anyone who needs estate planning.

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.
