Best lawyer I've ever hired in ANY area of law.

I hired Ms. Carlo's services for divorce and feel I could not have been better served. When hiring a lawyer, you hope they will be 1) highly intelligent; 2) highly experienced; 3) sympathetic to your difficult situation; and 4) ethical. Ms. Carlo was all four. So good is Ms. Carlo at her job, I only ...regret that she does not practice in every area of law, because she would always be my choice. So much do I value her professional opinion that if I need legal representation in a matter outside family law, my plan is to first go to her and ask her opinion on the matter and which lawyer she would recommend I use. I mentioned sympathetic. Ms. Carlo listens. Carefully. She takes it all in, and later on you are impressed with her recall. It makes you feel like your case is her only case. With other lawyers, I felt like they were always rushing our conversations and either ignored or quickly forgot details I felt were pretty important. Ms. Carlo's thorough internalization of all the facts you tell her serves you well later as she shapes strategy. I mentioned ethics. One thing you worry about when hiring a lawyer is how they will bill you. Ms. Carlo was always completely honest and fair with her timekeeping. Her itemized bills simply demonstrated to me that that impressive brain of hers can accomplish quite a lot of work in one hour. She is efficient. Hope that you'll never need a lawyer. But if someday you do, hope that you'll find one like Ms. Carlo.

Exceptional in every way!

I cannot more highly recommend Katie Carlo! Her skill, knowledge, compassion and high ethical standard is unsurpassed. Katie made a very stressful, emotional and difficult situation somehow more manageable. Her level of experience was evident from the very first meeting when she was able to compe...tently and quickly assess the situation, formulate a plan and offer sound guidance to me. It was the first time in a long time that I felt like things would be ok. Finances were definitely a concern to me, and Katie continually helped me find ways to move forward in the most economical way possible without compromising on the final outcome. Now more than ever, I appreciate Katie’s attention to detail in drafting my child custody agreement! While aggressive when she needs to be, she was able to diffuse highly emotional situations and kept the whole, long process focused on the important matters instead of wasting time and resources on inconsequential things. Katie seemed to always be a step ahead in anticipating what was to come in my ever evolving situation. She never pushed me to make a decision but ensured that I had a good understanding of my options and I was prepared to make those decisions when the time came. Despite the fact that she was highly recommended to me by a friend, I almost did not go meet Mrs. Carlo because I do not live in a nearby county and was concerned about the long distance to her office and the fact that I thought she might not know how to navigate the county courts in my area as well as a local attorney. These fears were completely unfounded. Throughout the entire process, Katie was so approachable and pleasant. She was always available and managed the courts in my county with great finesse, sparing me a court appearance. I cannot imagine a better outcome to such a difficult situation and am so grateful that I was able to work with such an ethical and competent lawyer. Again, Katherine Carlo is simply and exceptional lawyer and a wonderful person. I highly recommend her!

Fantastic attention to detail and client care

Ms. Carlo did a fantastic job on my divorce and custody case. It was such a difficult time, and she patiently and carefully explained options, anticipated responses, and was always thorough and efficient. I was pleased and grateful for her professionalism, dedication, and persistence.

A wonderfully competent, personable lawyer

Katie has been a dedicated, skillful, very caring, knowledgeable attorney from the start. It was evident that she completely and immediately understood my situation and provided sage advice. Katie is well versed in all legal matters dealing with spousal support modification. She also has a keen sen...se of when and how to proceed for success. Throughout the legal process, she fully understood my situation and all the underlying details. Katie was readily available to answer any and all questions as she was very responsive throughout the process. I highly recommend Katie Carlo. As distasteful as these kind of proceedings can be sometimes, she actually made this as pleasant and professional as it could have possibly been. The results could not have been any better. My only regret was not finding her earlier, to represent me in the actual divorce proceedings!

EXCELLENT!

I cannot recommend Katherine Carlo highly enough! Mrs. Carlo did a terrific job of helping me during a very trying financial time. First and foremost, she understood and respected the fact that I was working with limited financial resources. Mrs. Carlo continuously suggested practical and intellig...ent legal solutions that resulted in a successful outcome for me. Communication was always very prompt and thorough. I have an ally in Katherine Carlo who is truly vested in helping me navigate a complicated legal system in order serve the best interest of my children and I.
