"I could not recommend Carol enough! She is simply amazing! She is smart, kind and friendly. She absolutely knows what she is doing. She does not set false expectations. She will fight for what is right. She is honest, trustworthy and completely aboveboard, cutting no corners. At the same time, she is very strategic and knows her way around the courtroom. Her experience shows in everything she does. I am very thankful to have found her and would not wish for any other person to be on my side."

"Took my money and NEVER did anything with my case, she has never returned numerous calls, emails or messages and has yet to return my money for a job she never did. AVOID AT ALL COST, she is the reason attorneys have a bad reputation."

"We paid Carol the $850 retainer when we were going through our adoption process and then she never showed up to court and never answered our calls and she kept the $850. I understand that we signed something that said the fee was non-refundable but I really expected that we would have got something/anything other than that initial meeting out of it. I highly recommend Attorney Lydia Caylor of Cors Bassett - she was able get our adoption finalized AND she did our estate planning."

"I cannot recommend Carol enough. After spending $$$ on another attorney to repeatedly lose and fail in my efforts to modify custody to align with my daughter's best interest, I finally found Carol. She is an amazing attorney who completely commands the courtroom. She is sharp and cunning and gets results. My daughter finally has peace and can live the life she deserves with the changes that we were able to implement."
