She is representing my husband in a custody case and is very good at what she does. She's caring, seeks justice, and is very professional and organized.

We were represented by Carolyn Cadem for our foster to adopt case. My wife and I were both very impressed with her professionalism and knowledge she provided us. She picked up our case when we were in a pinch and was always available when we needed her. When you call with questions, she picks up the phone and gets back to you in a very timely matter. I would recommend Carolyn to anyone in a family law case.

Carolyn is extremely knowledgeable, determined, and organized. You will not find a better lawyer!

We can’t thank and like Mrs. Cadem enough for her hard work. So easy to talk to as well

Cadem Law has been amazing. While i go through the horrible court system to try to get custody of my son. Carolyn and her Paralegals have been so supportive and hard working. They truly seem to care.

Carolyn took my case during her maternity leave as it was a timely matter. I appreciate her being so willing work with me and help in my situation.

I am very satisfied with their help and they were always prompt and responded in a timely manner

Carolyn came into my case with many obstacles and over came them all with ease. Her and her staff were continually available with every question or concern, and always made me feel like my case was a priority. She is professional, knowledgeable, and understands what to do when you feel like you have exhausted all other efforts.

Carolyn and her team are the best you could ask for in a divorce situation. It is my belief that as a father in a divorce you start at a disadvantage, But not with Carolyn on your side. She truly believes in helping fathers out. she's smart, caring, makes time for your questions, goes out of her way to make sure you're aware of the pitfalls and how to avoid them in a divorce. I would absolutely recommend Carolyn and her team as I would hire her again in a heartbeat. thanks again for all your help Carolyn!!!

I would highly recommend Cadem Law Group. Carolyn and all the staff there made the unpleasant process of getting a divorce as painless as possible. I appreciated them and their timely communication, professionalism and wonderful thought out advice and guidance. I always felt that they had my best interests at heart. Needing a lawyer for any reason can be scary and they made me feel at ease through the whole process.

I had consulted with 3 other attorneys before finding Carolyn. Carolyn is very thorough and adept in discerning small details that make huge differences. Carolyn is a huge asset in my corner. Not only is Carolyn a wonderful attorney, but her helpful attitude is reflected in her staff as well. Good people know and keep good people. Very thankful to have such confidence with an attorney in such an important situation.

My initial review was much better, but this is restricted to 4,000 characters... Before Carolyn, I called all around and got free phone consultations which lead to them conveniently not knowing anything until I gave them money. Every lawyer I talked to made me feel like I was another routine crappy dad trying to get out of child support with minimal effort. Feeling defeated already before starting several times, I decided to give up and not worry about legal things and try to work it out with my ex. Needless to say that didn’t work out so well. When I first entered Carolyn’s office, I was terrified. I had never been in a lawyers office before, I automatically assumed that since nearly every other separated dad I know out there has abandoned their family that this place would judge me as the same, and drag me through mud before letting “the system” teach me a lesson about parenting. I shook her hand and it’s as if she sent a wave of reassurance in that handshake as to say “It’s going to be alright, I’m here now” I told her of all my worries, fears, unknowns and it was like she snapped right to it as possibly the most empathetic lawyer I’ve ever encountered. My ex dealt the first blow by nearly crippling me financially. Right after that we went into negotiating time to try to alleviate some of the nonsense that was just passed by officials that are presumably “for the people?” Carolyn was so calm and was able to retain all that wonderful lawyer knowledge where I was blind with emotion. I went in guns blazing saying “She’s not fit to be the primary parent after all she’s done! Roar! *rampage* She's just after my money and doesn't care about my daughter! I want full custody!” Carolyn, more than likely used to this sort of reaction, talked some much needed sense into me. She helped me to get an evaluation where I had to sit down face to face and talk stuff out with my ex, I could tell the entire time she was mad at this entire thing she didn't want to give up any time to me. Our first negotiation didn't go that well, it was 5 hours and I was talking to a wall. My ex had barely agreed to what the evaluators had said. There were recommendations in there to quit my job and get a new one, put off school, all sorts of things I needed to do to my life and my schedule but she was fine as is as long as I bent to her schedule. Carolyn did a great job at keeping me calm and played hard ball with my ex and her attorney. Over the course of probably another 7 months, Carolyn and I would see what my ex's not sticking to grounds were still at, and made recommendations so I could see my daughter. Carolyn worked hard to get me every single extra hour. Slowly but surely we got more and more time, my ex was bending more and more becoming more civil and human in the matter. We got close to getting an evaluator (Carolyn won our Motion to appoint one) to hang out with us and evaluate us as parents. Once my ex and I saw the bill for that though I feel like something clicked with her where it was time to stop fighting over senseless garbage and just start focusing on “our” daughters future. My favorite part of this, when we got to the hearing to discuss who would be paying for a child evaluator if we got that far (I wanted to split the cost and she wanted me to pay 100%). We went to court, paid a good amount of money to witness some other odd cases only to spend 10 minutes for the judge to say that it was ridiculous to have me pay 100% and that we would split it.  Afterwards speaking to my ex, she said to me "I hate your lawyer, she's too good" Carolyn was such a mentor in this entire process, keeping me in check emotionally and financially. I can’t imagine any other lawyer caring about my situation and my well being as much as Carolyn was able to. Honestly, no joke, I am sad in a way that my custody battle is over as, I no longer will be working closely with Carolyn. Thanks for reading. A peacefully minded former-client
