Ms Eaton's calm demeanor and ability to get the relevant facts was amazing

Carolyn Eaton was totally responsible for keeping us grounded, focused on the case at hand, while helping us understand what a reasonable settlement might look like. With the issue being one of child custody...emotions can and did run high...Carolyn's calm demeanor kept all of us grounded and able to... get through a prolonged trial. She did an outstanding job for us dealing with a lot information and sifting through to what was really relevant.

I can't recommend Carolyn highly enough...

My experience working with Carolyn Eaton was positive from the moment I met her during our initial consultation and throughout the process of my divorce. Through careful review and analysis of my case, she provided sound advice and expert guidance. With her kind, compassionate, yet resolute approach,... I knew I was in excellent hands from the beginning. I would also like to recognize paralegal, Anastasia Richter for her diligent processing of my case on Ms. Eaton’s behalf. She was very thorough, helpful, and responsive. Ms. Eaton and Ms. Richter make an excellent team. I am grateful to them both for making an otherwise difficult process as smooth as possible.

Review for Carolyn Eaton and Anastasia Richter

My initial visit with Ms. Eaton was for a consultation when my ex-spouse told me he wanted a divorce. She came highly recommended from a friend who recently went through a divorce, and after talking with her during my initial visit, I knew she was the attorney for me, compassionate, attentive and def...initely experienced in the law. Once I knew there was no reconciliation with my ex-spouse, I turned to Ms. Eaton who was ready to go and take on my case full steam ahead. I had many questions during the marital separation agreement and no-contest divorce processes and Ms. Eaton was there ready to respond to my inquiries and guide me through every step till the end. Ms. Eaton was a GEM from the beginning to end and I can’t thank her and her paralegal Ms. Richter enough for making the entire process as stress free as possible so I may move forward with my life. Many, many, many thanks!

Review for Carolyn Eaton and Paralegal Bethny Scheuerman

I decided to divorce after 14 years of marriage. My ex and I had worked all of the details out amicable, when it was time to file he hired a ruthless, money grubbing, unethical attorney. Ms. Eaton helped me fight back against the bully attorney. This situation was so crazy. My ex's attorney was figh...ting for things like custody and spousal support that my ex did not want or qualify for. Ms. Eaton was extremely professional and well versed in the law. Listened to what I wanted from the divorce and did not attempt to persuade me in any other direction. The bully attorney was not match for her. She took on my burden and relieved me of the stress. Both Ms. Eaton and Beth were quick to respond to my request, questions and or concerns. Thank you Ms. Eaton and Beth for making a difficult time in my life less hectic and drama free.
