Carolyn is a wonderful attorney and a supportive, understanding human being. I am truly grateful…read morethat I had the opportunity to work with her. I spoke with several attorneys before making my decision, and from our very first phone call I could tell she was different. She did not rush the conversation or treat it like just another case, she listened carefully, understood the details of my situation, and provided thoughtful, practical advice right away. That first call lasted more than half an hour, and after it, I knew I wanted her to represent me. My divorce case was long and challenging, and Carolyn was exceptional throughout the entire process. She handled many responsibilities beyond what was expected and always remained solution-focused. At times, the mediator and the opposing attorney were difficult to work with, and there were even moments when it felt like she was doing more than her share just to keep the process moving forward. She was always accessible, I could reach her quickly whenever needed, we spent hours discussing important details, and she consistently responded to my emails in minutes. I was going through an extremely difficult time financially and emotionally, and Carolyn was incredibly supportive. Even during periods when I struggled to make payments, she continued to work hard and never pressured me. In fact, there were times when she first asked whether I was financially okay before even mentioning her fees. That says a lot about her character, she is not money-centered; she genuinely cares about her clients as people. There were moments when I shared my sadness and emotional struggles, and she was supportive like a friend and, at times, almost like a therapist. She guided me with honesty and professionalism, sometimes telling me things that were difficult to hear, but that honesty is exactly what makes her such an exceptional attorney. She does not sugarcoat reality; she is direct, logical, and always focused on achieving the best possible outcome. In the end, we were able to reach an agreement, and my divorce is now finalized. I truly owe this result in large part to Carolyn's dedication, intelligence, and steady guidance. I would highly recommend her to anyone who needs not only a highly skilled and successful attorney, but also a genuinely kind and compassionate human being.

Carrie Crumbaugh Love is truly one of a kind! Words cannot express how genuine and sincere she…read morereally is overall as a person. When I first spoke to Carrie over the phone the first thing I observed was her patience in listening. We had called a few attorneys prior to contacting Carrie and she was the very first person who showed empathy and listened which alleviated a lot of our anxiety. I never felt rushed to complete a sentence or to help clarify a question at any given time. Throughout the trial Carrie made it a point to educate us at all times during the many different phases. We never felt left in the dark or unsure about our options. She never settles and was determined to negotiate for the best possible solution. Some of the words I would use to describe Carrie would be compassionate, extremely knowledgeable, honest, professional, confident, respectful, determined and highly driven. She is a person who is willing to work with you and will leave you feeling as though this is a team effort. When she is in the courtroom she is a great advocate speaking on your behalf and she is highly respected amongst her peers. We are forever grateful for the services she rendered on behalf of our family member. Sincerely, Ms. Jasmine Norman RN, MSN, PMP

I normally do not leave reviews, but my experience with this attorney was extremely disappointing…read moreand financially draining. I hired her in September before reporting to prison to pursue an ineffective assistance of counsel claim against my previous attorney. During our consultation, she strongly criticized my former attorney, told me he did a terrible job, and even stated that the judge in my case was racist and that she planned to request that the judge be recused. Based on those conversations, I trusted her and paid an initial $15,000 retainer. Unfortunately, months went by and nothing meaningful appeared to happen on my case. No filings were made, no clear strategy was communicated, and I was left constantly trying to get updates on next steps. Then, after about four months, when I started asking questions, I was told I needed to pay another $15,000, which I did because I believed my case was still being worked on and time was critical. Then, only about two months before my appeal opportunity expired, I received another request for an additional $30,000. At that point, I declined. Shortly afterward, she withdrew from my case entirely and left me without representation during a critical period. My advice to anyone considering hiring any attorney is to carefully read the retainer agreement line by line and make sure every promise, strategy, or expectation discussed during consultations is clearly written into the agreement before paying large retainers. In my experience, the retainer was broad and vague and did not clearly reflect many of the things discussed during our conversations. I also strongly encourage people to do extensive research, ask detailed questions about billing practices, timelines, deliverables, and communication expectations upfront before making a hiring decision. In my personal experience, a substantial amount of money was paid with little to no meaningful progress made on my case.
