My case was extremely complex and emotionally exhausting. For eight long years, the court battle caused tremendous pain and stress for both me and my daughter. By the time Danielle took over my case at the end of 2024, I had already been through multiple attorneys and had almost lost hope. Danielle changed everything. She possesses exceptional knowledge of family law, but what truly sets her apart is her intelligence, strategic thinking, flexibility, and deep empathy. She has an astonishing memory and an incredible ability to identify the key issues immediately. In court, she is sharp, composed, and highly effective. Outside the courtroom, she genuinely cares about her clients and always thinks about the best way to solve problems while also saving unnecessary legal costs. In a very short period of time, Danielle accomplished major breakthroughs in my case that none of my previous attorneys had been able to achieve in years. The changes she helped create in both my life and my daughter's life have been profound. I truly feel that Danielle saved me and my daughter. She is not only an extraordinary attorney, but also a compassionate human being and, honestly, an angel in our lives. I do not have enough words to express my gratitude, trust, and respect for her. I will forever be thankful that she took my case. read more

Danielle is the most ethical, empathetic, intelligent, and capable attorney I have ever worked with. She has truly been a lifesaver for my children. Prior to meeting her, I had been in a custody battle with my ex for seven years. Despite the long-term physical and emotional abuse he inflicted on both our children and myself--resulting in significant medical and psychological harm--the court initially maintained a 50/50 custody arrangement even I showed the court thousands of pages of proof and documentation... So many nights, I woke up at midnight in tears, thinking about our poor little ones and feeling so helpless and desperate who could help them. That changed after Danielle took over my case. Within just a few months, the court not only granted me sole legal and sole physical custody, but also ordered that the children would not be forced to visit their father if they did not want to go. Since then, my children's symptoms have significantly improved. They have begun focusing on school and activities again, my older son's anxiety has noticeably decreased, and I can see their smiles returning. The custody dispute is still ongoing, as my ex continues to send police and strangers to my home and file various unrelated motions in an effort to harass me, despite three criminal charges for violation of my protective order and for falsifying court orders. However, the children are now well protected, and that is what matters most. I am deeply grateful for everything Danielle has done. She is not only extremely knowledgeable and intelligent, but also creative in problem-solving and, most importantly, deeply compassionate. She always prioritizes what is in the best interest of the children. It is rare to find an attorney with all of these qualities, and I feel very fortunate to have found her. read more

I hired James Carroll to represent me in a restraining order case, and I left the process feeling unrepresented and unprepared. He did not meet with me prior to any trial, did not respond to most of my emails or calls, and submitted only a small portion of the evidence I gave him. In court, he did not cross-examine the opposing party and asked me very few questions while I was on the stand. As a result, the judge only heard one side of the story, and I was left to deal with the consequences. I am now pursuing an appeal due to the way the case was handled. Please do your research and consider speaking with more than one attorney before moving forward. I trusted him as a professional to represent me in no way shape or form did he represent me . He actually did me more of a disservice than if I would've just represented myself. Avoid this attorney at all cost... what he did to me was borderline cruel and I'm not just saying this I have a strong appeal case. read more

If you are ready to spend money, have your time wasted, & get screwed over I highly recommend Carroll Law Office said nobody ever. During the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 they were great at answering there phone & then all of the sudden they couldn't be reached to return my phone calls or my multiple emails with time stamps. They also told me I had court hearings that never happened. I am a service manager at an automotive shop and if I ran our business the way this business run we'd be out of business do better or just quit while you're ahead you'd be doing yourself a favor. read more

James Castranova is a great attorney as well as person. He is representing me currently and has advocated for myself and my daughter with the upmost respect and kindness. He not only is very accomplished at his practice but extremely compassionate and intuitive regarding his clients and cases. I recommend him to anyone going through a custody case. James has listened to my concerns as a client and guided me through any tough situations to help resolve the case and put the child's well being first and focus on the importance of the child's best interest.

Would rate -1 star if I could. I paid 70$ for "recommendations" from that piece of paper the ghetto court system gives you and they recommended this place. I hope that place and this establishment runs out of business. I would had given my 8,000$ to ANY one but Caroll Law Office. They charged me 500$ for ONE phone call and 350$ for ONE email they never even responded back to. AVOID THIS PLACE ANY WHERE ELSE IS BETTER. It's been 3 years and I'm still fighting for my case bc this place only fights for you if you pay billion dollars which average American like myself DOES NOT HAVE. read more

He was appointed by the court and was overheard in the courtroom hallway speaking to another attorney about how this case was only paying him 70$ an hour instead of his usual 170$ an hour. The other attorney laughed and said maybe you can at least pay your phone bill with today's fees. Not only that, he did zero research or preparation for the case. Didn't prepare one witness for trial. Refused to talk to anyone. He admitted to a conflict of interest and continued on with the case. He previously worked for the opposing attorney (as a paralegal i suspect.) He didn't say a word in court. there were so many ethical concerns with this case, I feel a moral obligation to inform other potential clients of this firm. read more

MONEY HUNGRY!!! SCAMMERS! I immediately fired them after spending THOUSANDS for them to try to help me win my case and be taken serious in court only for them to insult ME and of course have my case fail because I wasn't throwing thousands of dollars at them for them to actually take my case serious. read more

After spending thousands of dollars and seeing that attorney absolutely destroying my case I fired them immediately. I can tell you any other law firm is better than this one. read more

These attorneys are TERRIBLE. Why are they still in business? Might have to do with how often they scam desperate folks! This is the kind of place where they'll only prioritize your case if you keep throwing money at them. Their services are only there for those who can afford to throw money out the door read more

A "senior paralegal" at this firm took $1,500 from me June of 2022 to prepare and submit my divorce papers. Almost 1.5 years later and my divorce isn't final and she won't return my calls or text. I'm not asking for much. Our divorce is not complicated. We are so confused why this is happening. read more

Jim carol was probably one of the worst attorneys I have ever met in my life.. During court he is quiet as a mouse.. He does no fighting or objectiing. He takes your money says nothing during court meets with you five minutes before court.. Bills you 2500 to show up. And then the process gets repeated once your money runs out you will finally get a phone call from him asking please deposit more money in the trust.. Court appointed public defenders have more courage to stand up for the clients If you're gonna be a lawyer Act like one.. Lessen learned Do not hire Carroll law offices Especially Jim/james read more

I hired them to help with a child custody matter. Its insane. They charged me 720 for a couple phone calls and an email to me. They did no actual work. They are hustlers. They even charged me 85 for an email stating they didnt do what he said he would!! They are not a good law office. I am a single mom struggling and thats the peraon you creatively bill and do nothing for. It was very unhelpful and precious time has been wasted. They made false promises and then didnt send appropriate paperwork as agreed just another email which I got charged for! Horrible office! read more

James represented me during a difficult divorce. He always presented a balanced view of the pros and cons, leaving final decisions to me. I never felt pushed or pressured. I found James to be very knowledgeable on diverse areas of family law, as well as having an amazing ability to explain things in layman's terms. James also managed to ground me when my emotions got in the way of thinking about things rationally. I feel fortunate to have had James representing me during such an extremely difficult time. He has my highest recommendation! CP read more

I would not recommend this Law office to anyone that I cared about. They appear more interested in working against you than for you. The charges add up quickly but the work and out come do no match their bill. If you care about your case I would look elsewhere! Be careful how you spend your money, look for someone who cares about their reputation and winning your case. read more

The "other half" in my divorce chose to drag his feet the entire case. Thank goodness for Jim. He had a no nonsense approach and pushed my case through which, without him, could have gone on a lot longer. Jim had the ability to read through the opposition for my best outcome. I highly recommend Jim Carroll to anyone needing a competent attorney. read more
