I am eternally grateful to Carolyn Kalos in helping me with my contentious divorce. Mediation had dragged on for a 3 year period. I decided to change to my own attorney and Carolyn had it done in 2 months. She read documents late into the night for me. She was ethical, level headed, extremely efficient and very fair always. She always looked out for my interests and I am very, very grateful to her. I can’t recommend her enough.

Carolyn is an excellent divorce mediator who is always appropriately prepared in advance of a session and who quickly tunes into the key issues to help the parties negotiate an agreement that they can live with, and where children are involved, addresses all those issues as well. Carolyn is unbiased and has an appropriate demeanor for these difficult conversations.

Carolyn was my personal consulting attorney while I went through mediation for my legal separation after 30 years of marriage. She provided both excellent legal advice and invaluable emotional support throughout the process. There were some unusual twists and turns which she helped me think through in a creative way. She was a very strong advocate for me but also helped me maintain focus on my goal of reaching a separation agreement in a timely way with as little rancor as possible. She worked collaboratively with the mediator and my ex-husband's consulting attorney to expedite the process. I am very grateful to Carolyn and I highly, highly recommend her.

Carolyn is not only an excellent, experienced and thorough attorney but she is also a kind, warm person who will support clients through complicated matters in a calm and knowledgeable manner. Everyone I have recommended Carolyn to has been grateful for her guidance and expertise.

I wish I had met Carolyn years ago. My divorce was not acrimonious but it was daunting nonetheless. The mere prospect of having to have difficult conversations with my ex-husband, of navigating the byzantine paperwork made me procrastinate. It was such a relief to meet Carolyn and have our initial conversation be so clear. The steps she laid out turned the mountain into a roadmap. Carolyn is also really very friendly, personable and professional. I am almost envious of anyone who comes across her at the very beginning of their case because they won't feel so daunted at the magnitude of the task ahead. I highly, highly recommend her.

Carolyn really came through when I needed advice for a friend on a complicated divorce issue. Carolyn was immediately and immensely professional; she got to the point immediately and gave me concrete advice as to how best to support my friend. She’s the ally you need, and the expert you must have.

Carolyn is a empathetic listener, family matter expert, and great family advocate, I knew this as soon as we spoke and she understood the situation right away with her over three decades of expertise in family law and related matters. Although my matter is not right for her current focus, she recommended an attorney that was absolutely the right one for my situation. I'm just so appreciative. Thank you Carolyn!

My experience with Carolyn was absolutely wonderful. She is kind, compassionate, and GENUINELY cares about her clients. She will do everything she can to foster an amicable atmosphere for her clients during a session. She is also very innovative, and has experience (and certification!) with mediating domestic pet custody as well. She has been an absolute pleasure to work with and I would highly recommend her to all!

Carolyn Kalos did a great job mediating an unnecessarily contentious divorce. She emphasized the practice of mediation and has a thoughtful approach. She faced the situation with calmness and levelheadedness throughout despite the difficulties presented by our particular situation. She was pleasant to work and communicate with, affordable, and offered me gentle consolation with regard to the hurt I experienced because of my ex's betrayal.

Having a consultation with Carolyn, gave me the support and informatation I needed to make the right next steps.

Look no further. You won’t find a better person for the job than Carolyn. She’s smart, calm, practical, empathic, and driven. She knows the system well, with her vast experience. Her guidance is spot-on, and she is confident yet humble. You will always feel better informed and in a better place when you speak to her. She’s just superb!!!!

Carolyn has extensive experience representing individuals in family court from many different perspectives. She understands how emotional and complicated such matters are, and not only uses her legal expertise - always is able to find creative solutions that benefit and support her clients.
