Carolyn Wagner represented me during an unusually difficult divorce. My ex cycled through four separate attorneys between the divorce, child custody and financial disputes. She was essentially responsible for bring each of these new players up to speed with what had already transpired. I am certain that it was frustrating for her. Yet she never wavered. She was a picture of professionalism, kept me continually informed, never hesitated to answer my questions, and always returned my calls promptly. I was made to feel that my problems were her problems as well. She showed empathy and a personal interest in my case. I am not an easy person to impress. She impressed me. I will continue to use her for any future legal needs and have happily recommended her to my closest friends and family.

I was recommended to Mrs. Wagner while having much help with a previous lawyer. Once I hired her she immediately began to sort out everything that was wrong in my case and fought for everything I asked for. Everything for the sake of my child was done and we are no longer dealing with the stress that the situation caused us. I highly recommend her to anyone needing a lawyer dealing with Family Law

Carolyn is such a caring, yet talented and thorough attorney who treated me with kindness and respect! She was a light during a very difficult time. She stood by me through a very tough divorce case and never stopped fighting for what is right! Her patience and determination is no doubt the reason for the final judgement and I can’t thank her enough!

Carolyn is an amazing lawyer! Was very satisfied with my experience and her hard work. If needed will definitely hire again.

Carolyn made a very difficult process much easier. She gave me great advice about my kids and the divorce from our very first conversation. She told me, "Even if you do not hire me, do this first." She truly wanted what was best for my entire family. Going through a divorce was one of the most difficult things that I have ever had to do and she helped me every step of the way. I was grateful to have her on my side and in my corner.

Carolyn came highly recommended to me from the State Attorneys office (Another Attorney). I knew I was in good hands from our very first phone call. She is exceptionally passionate and stayed on top of my case. I can promise you that she is not in this for the money. She even refunded me money back after my case was over. She did not rush my case and was very upfront with me on the process. If you need an attorney, PLEASE reach out to Carolyn. You won't be disappointed.

Carolyn is a no nonsense professional who is passionate for justice. She represented me in my duval case- I reside in California. Lots of email, a few video chats, and 1 in personal meeting before the judge. She is the second lawyer we had to retain on this issue and in one day she discovered a handful of things the other lawyer missed. Carolyn: *cares about dads and our rights. mostly, what’s best for the child *does not leave any concern unturned *responds to correspondence in record time. always available *did not have extravagant fees beefing up the balance. It was straight forward and we were charged only for time spent on our case. litigation is pricey, but she is worth every penny! *honest. She will give you sound legal guidance and prepare you for court Since retaining her. We enjoyed long distance timeshare for the first time in 11 years. My name is on the birth certificate. I got my daughters social. I am in contact with her teachers. I got her medical records. And child support is accurately calculated now so I’m not overpaying anymore. Carolyn is a master at what she does. You will not regret hiring her. She is human. She is compassionate. Her only flaw is that she likes FSU :p go gators! Even as long football rivals, I knew she was on my side when it mattered most. My previous lawyer told me I was a dead beat and should take whatever time I can get with my daughter. What was offered then was a fraction of what I am entitled to but I didn’t know any better. Not so with Carolyn. She taught me my rights. She identified that I was being alienated as a father. She heard my story. Commended my efforts. And helped me be the father I have always been in my heart, in reality. My daughters life is better thanks to the work of Carolyn. Now she has both parents. Fathers matter. Fathers have rights. Fathers deserve to be involved too. I’ve never been one to handle tons of emails so she worked directly with my wife and honored our family structure and involved my daughters step-mom, my wife, in every way she could. We couldn’t have asked for a better outcome. You either pay excess child support to a dishonest woman for ten years, or you hire a lawyer one time to fix issues that only the judge can, for a lifetime. The decision was simple for us. my unreasonable ex left me no other choice. I’m so thankful Carolyn was there for us in our darkest hour. I hope I don’t need her again, but if I do, she better not retire anytime soon.

I met with Carolyn for a consultation involving my inevitable pending divorce. At that point in time I had consultations with several other attorneys. I left these consultations feeling very much like just another case. That may have been true, but that is not how I felt about it. I met with Carolyn Wagner for about a half an hour. I was so impressed with how quickly she delved into the details of my case, I retained her services on the spot. What should have been a relatively standard divorce case turned out not to be. The divorce drug on for about two and a half years. During this time, my ex retained the services of a total of four separate attorneys. Each one with a different angle of attack on my finances and personal character. Carolyn dealt with them one by one. When the divorce was finally over, I felt like I had gotten as fair a settled conclusion as the law would allow. Carolyn made me feel as though she had a personal and vested interest in the outcome of my case. She was understanding and showed empathy during a painful time in my life. Due to the nature of the closure of my case, there is the potential that there will be further litigation in the future. There is no other attorney that I would choose to represent me should the need arise. I highly recommend Carolyn Wagner's services as legal representation.

After researching several options to try adopt an infant in Northern Florida we became resigned to the idea that we simply could not afford to adopt a child. Ms. Wagner was recommended to us by a friend from our church. We found her to be compassionate, thorough and dedicated to helping us complete the adoption of our three year old son. Without requiring us to pay any consultation or wait list fee, Carolyn took the time to ensure we understood the adoption process, she referred us to our home study provider and she helped us with the creation of our profile book meant to give to birth moms considering adoption an understanding of our family and of the kind of life her baby would have if she choose to place with us. We appreciate the emphasis Carolyn places on caring for the emotional needs of the birth parents who work with her in addition to ensuring they are safe and supported during their pregnancy. . We would recommend that anyone considering placing a child for adoption or wishing to become an adoptive parent to contact Ms. Wagner.

Carolyn was very helpful in my custody case for my daughter. Her hard work and dedication is the reason why my daughter now has a bright future ahead of her. My case was very complicated due to already having custody of my daughter's two older siblings and the case had to be moved to FL. Her expertise made the case go much more smoothly then I expected.

I went to Ms. Wagner to have my son last name amended due to a not so smart decision made by myself. It had been close to two and half three years in trying to work to get my sons last name changed. Boy was that a nightmare! I continued to get the run around with the Clerk of Courts and was unsure of the direction I needed to go. Thank you Jesus for Ms. Wagner! I decided to contact her she was very informative and easy to speak with from the jump. We set up a consultation, I immediately decided to work with Ms. Wagner, I knew she was the answer to my prays; now less than 2 months later the judge has granted to amend my son's last name. I am so forever grateful to Ms. Wagner. If I had not pick that phone up to reach out to her I would still be in the same predicament, stressed and depressed. Thanks Ms. Wagner!

I have worked with Carolyn Wagner on many adoptions over the years. Carolyn offers support and care to birth mothers and adoptive families alike. Carolyn is an expert in adoption law. Birth mothers trying to do what they feel is best for their baby and and those trying to create their family through adoption will appreciate her approach to helping them deal with the variety of emotional, legal and personal issues that often present during the adoption process. Carolyn offers education, support and coordination of all necessary services to ensure a positive adoption outcome .
