Contempt

Carolyn represented me in an uncontested divorce almost two years ago. I’m so fortunate that she was my attorney. Ms. Torres-Mabe’s calming demeanor — a balance of no-nonsense assertiveness and empathy– eased the divorce process. I highly recommend her to anyone in need of a family law consultation.

Over the past ten years, I have had the unfortunate need to utilize the legal services of Carolyn Torres-Mabe not for one divorce, but twice!  Both involved complex negotiations relative to child support.  Both times, the end results were much more favorable than I could have ever hoped for.  Further, I have referred Carolyn to other clients and colleagues and they have had the same high regard for her expertise, professionalism, creativity and insight into the legal proceedings needed.  I would highly recommend Carolyn Torres-Mabe for not only divorce, but for any family law issue – she is a true champion for her clients. Thanks!!

Carolyn assisted me with my divorce in 2010. Not only was she an amazing attorney but a caring individual as well. Ms. Mabe was extremely knowledgeable, thorough and completed everything in a timely manner. She was very detail oriented and thought of things that never came to my mind. During this trying time, she was not only professional but very personable. […] I would highly recommend her.

Divorce is rarely pleasant, even under the best circumstances. Carolyn Torres-Mabe represented me in my recent divorce and I found her to be not only exceptionally knowledgeable, but highly compassionate as well. She kept me well-informed about the status of my case, next steps, and what I should expect every step of the way. She listened carefully to my concerns, synthesized those with the constraints of the law and likely actions by the other side to develop the best possible strategy – and outcome. She took a very human view of my case, which helped validate her as the best choice to represent me. I would recommend Carolyn without reservation.

Divorce is an emotional vacuum and my hope is that couples can resolve their differences. Many times a resolution is not an option. If you are one of the many unfortunate couples who seek legal representation, then I would highly recommend calling Carolyn. She is articulate, understanding, and a straight shooter. She made herself available anytime I had questions (and you will). She was an outside of the box thinker and navigated a complicated situation that prevented my daughter from being relocated to another state. I am now a single father with joint physical custody and have my daughter 3 nights a week. Dividing finances, property, and all the other taxing requirements required by the state were all explained, handled, and reviewed with fairness. (Hindsight is 20/20). When going through this process Carolyn was not only a valuable legal asset she is also a mother and wife that understands the importance of an active and involved family unit. I consider myself a level-headed individual in stressful situations, but trust me, you are going to need someone like Carolyn who understands the psychological part of this process as much as the legal aspects. One of the most eye-opening statements made to me at the very beginning of this process is that even if a divorce begins with both side stating they want amicable resolve that usually derails, and you are going to need a solid professional. That statement could not have been more true. If you are looking for a divorce attorney who gives you the legal individual attention you need combined with a significant understanding of the human condition you are going to want her on your side.
