* After doing homework on Avvo, Lawyers.com, and Martindale I interviewed 6 lawyers by phone and 4 in person. This was expensive since most charge for the first consultation. You can save homework by relying on mine. * Jeff and Carlos were among the most knowledgeable of the people I interviewed (among an already highly rated group). After hiring them, their negotiations were excellent and they anticipated multiple problems in proposals from the other side. * Importantly, they are very level headed in an emotionally charged contest. My ex spouse frequently made unreasonable demands based on emotion and pushing limits just to see what she could get. * Carlos in particular was extremely responsive and frequently worked after hours to get things done. * They are not cheap. Mediation might be better if the other side is reasonable. If you need a lawyer, however, you'll need talent and skill and you'll get what you pay for. When it was all over, I was surprised to learn the other side paid much more for what I perceived to be less quality work. * I recommend Jeff & Carlos without reservation.

Carlos assisted Steve Gurdin with my complaint for alimony modification under the Alimony Reform Act. He worked diligently on my behalf, filing all of the many necessary court documents in a timely and professional manner. More importantly, Carlos was a pleasure to work with, and kept me informed and up to date with the proceedings as they progressed. With his able assistance Steve was able to convince the other side to settle out of court. I was very pleased with the result, as well as all of the legal work Carlos provided. I recommend Carlos and the Fitch Law firm without reservation.

Carlos represented me in a case seeking joint legal custody over the course of about 2 years. He was extremely helpful and supportive of my efforts over this period of time. I found my dealings with Carlos to be effortless: he told me what I needed to send him and he did all of the work to produce the complicated forms and documents that I needed in preparation for going to court. He always was easy to get in touch with, thorough, and dedicated while working on my case. He was able to simplify this process for me and help me to achieve the goal that I set out to obtain. His back and forth with the opposition was conscience and productive, which helped me to work with the mother to come to a favorable agreement. I would highly recommend Carlos' services to anyone that needs a lawyer to represent them in Family and Probate court.

I was represented in my divorce case against my ex-husband by two Sally & Fitch attorneys, Carlos Maycotte and another, more senior attorney. This review is for Carlos, with whom I had more frequent and extensive interactions. Interacting with Carlos, I felt that he must have been at the top of his class in law school, because he clearly knew what he was doing, and is a rising star. He remained completely on top of all the details of my case, answered questions immediately and professionally, and for more complex technical questions, researched them and returned with thoughtful and scholarly answers backed by literature and case histories. His insights directly resulted in considerable financial gains in my divorce case. When it came time to draft our separation contract, Carlos dotted all the i’s and crossed all the t’s. No stone was left unturned. I would recommend him highly to all friends and colleagues, as someone who will work tirelessly to support and advocate for you, and who backs that zeal with rigor and scholarship.

I was very pleased to have Carlos Maycotte on my team. I found him to be very conscientious and caring. He was very thoughtful in terms of keeping me informed every step of the way with phone calls and timely emails. I most appreciated his relaxed and calming manner. At times when I found myself totally frustrated with the plaintiff's pitbull (attorney), Carlos was there to help me navigate the litigation process with genuine care. Furthermore, Carlos has continued to contact me to check on me and to make sure all the appropriate steps are being completed. Carlos has my highest recommendation. You will be happy to have Carlos by your side.

I had never needed a lawyer before and was new to the whole legal experience. We were interviewing many lawyers and decided to go with Carlos at our first consultation. It was a emotional time, Carlos listened and was professional through the entire process. Carlos understood the complexity of the situation and helped me to see things more simply. I felt supported through the entire process, he explained things in a way that helped to make sense of all legal jargon. I would recommend Carlos to anyone who is going through a divorce or custody battle. The whole team at Sally and Fitch was amazing!

I had a terrific experience with Carlos. Throughout what could have been a trying ordeal, he maintained a level of calm, thoughtfulness and professionalism that enabled all parties to make real progress. He is extremely responsive, and as a lawyer myself, I really appreciated his ability to clearly and concisely explain legal concepts in an area with which I was unfamiliar. Carlos's friendly demeanor also made it very easy to work with him -- I've seen my share of attorneys who are difficult and unlikable, and knowing that our interactions would be painless always kept me relieved. Above all, Carlos provided sound advice and solid work product in a timely, efficient manner.
