Jonathan Csuka has experience and understands the law, but he also understands people. In this type of law, that is pretty important. He is very approachable, easy to talk to, and hard-working. Jon understands what is motivating people and what kind of thinking is behind their decisions and requests. I had an easy time communicating with him. Whether it was through email, phone, or in-person, he was able to explain things to me. The communication we had up-front about what is going to happen and what to expect helped me to adjust my expectations and recognize what is reasonable. As a result, I felt prepared, and as someone who had not been through my type of experience before, I felt more at ease. Overall, Jon is good at what he does, and the firm is very accommodating.

From the first time I met with Jonathan Csuka, I never doubted that he knew what he was talking about. His professionalism, knowledge, and overall expertise was always evident. If I had a question, he knew the answer, right then; he didn’t have to “get back to me.” Each time I came through the door, I was greeted; the business manager, Stephanie Griffin, always answered my billing questions and returned my calls right away; and since I live in Asheboro, Jon always worked around my schedule to ensure convenience. I am pleased with the quality of service, and feel that its value was good: I felt supported.

I came to Carolyn Woodruff with a case that had been 3+ years in the making. Yet, despite walking into a huge mess and not being able to build my file the way she may have ordinarily done it, I know that when Carolyn is handling it, there is no question the work will get done in a manner that is both efficient and timely. Carolyn is straight-forward, no-nonsense, and listens really well. Even though she is very, very smart, she is more than willing to delegate a task to other firm associates if she feels they could better serve you. Woodruff Family Law Group offers excellent hospitality and support.

When I first visited Woodruff Family Law Group regarding child custody, I noticed how friendly the environment was. I felt comfortable right away. Having Taylor Daniel as my attorney was great. Taylor has a great work ethic and is determined. She is also passionate about her job and puts all of her effort into your case. Everyone at the firm was helpful with all of the legal steps that were needed from start to finish. I would recommend Taylor Daniel and Woodruff Family

I came to the firm to get a divorce and divide the marital estate. During the course of our time working together, what has impressed me the most is what Carolyn Woodruff has been able to pull from the file cabinets of her memory, regarding detailed aspects of my case. Carolyn has also been a safe haven during a time of being very concerned with my well-being. When I think of Carolyn, I would say she is intelligent, quick on her feet, a quick thinker, and very friendly and warm in times of stress and duress. She has a calming effect about her. Overall, the Woodruff Family Law Group is efficient. The staff members have all become family. They offer a family environment. I have felt I could call on anyone day or night. Communication lines are always open. With the length of time my case has taken, it would have been easy to slip to the back of the firm’s caseload. That doesn’t happen at Woodruff.

Representation from Carolyn and Taylor Daniel has been exceptional. Both attorneys value the clients input and rely on their knowledge of law, in culmination with concentration on the facts - to produce.

Our case is complicated. It involves our daughter’s custody, visitation and child support from the father of our grandchild covering multiple states and attorneys. We researched firms in North Carolina extensively to be sure the attorney we hired here would be fully capable of first understanding, and then providing accurate guidance regarding the most important priorities in our lives – our daughter and our grandchild. The team at the Woodruff Family Law Group works in full synchronization. Even during our first meeting, Carolyn Woodruff listened intently to our situation and took action to verify what we couldn’t. While we met and talked with her, she instructed her team members to verify petitions filed in other states and other facts of our case, and even contacted our attorney out of state. She was precisely clear of what she needed to know, and in what seemed like no time, her assistants were swiftly providing her additional information as she requested it. In our first hour, she not only fully understood our case, but had verified facts, and was making insightful suggestions on how to proceed. Carolyn Woodruff does more in one hour than legal teams we have worked with do in days. She is not only an incredible value due to her efficiency, but, as the results of our case will affect the rest of many of our loved ones lives, she is the best investment in our future that we could make. To provide the best legal representation, an attorney needs to be knowledgeable, caring, and above all, respected – both by those who agree with her, and oppose her. Carolyn Woodruff earns and commands respect because it is who she is and what she is committed to. We can’t possibly recommend her highly enough.

We recently met with Carolyn after our daughter received notice that the father of her child was suing for custody. Our daughter had fled to NC with her child several months earlier to escape the abuse of the child’s father. Concerned with the safety of our daughter and granddaughter, we sought an attorney who would be tough, and have a clear understanding of the maze of laws surrounding custody issues. We found Carolyn Woodruff to be all that and more. During our initial meeting, Carolyn used her extensive knowledge and expertise to guide the conversation in the most productive way possible. Even after it was determined that our case would fall under the jurisdiction of another state, Carolyn followed up with e-mails containing valuable research and advice. Most of all, during a very stressful and worrisome time, Carolyn was a voice of reason and genuine caring. Our only regret is that we did not seek her services the moment our daughter and granddaughter moved to North Carolina. We would recommend her services to anyone in the Piedmont Triad area of North Carolina who needs a “caring bulldog” to fight for them in a family law matter.

Where to begin... My ex asking for a divorce after 13 years of marriage came as a surprise to me. After the initial shock wore off, and some quick research, I quickly realized that not only had he cheated on me for years, but he had methodically and systematically emptied all our bank accounts, leaving me virtually penniless. I was a suburban stay at home mom with 2 kids and no source of income. I didn't just need a lawyer...I needed a sharp lawyer. When I started asking around for recommendations for divorce lawyers in Greensboro..., Carolyn's name came up over and over again. While she was not the first lawyer I met with, once I had, there was absolutely no question she was the lawyer for me. Her services may not be the cheapest in town, but after watching her in court, it's crystal clear that you get what you pay for. Her skill in the courtroom and her meticulous preparation was second to none. She was prepared for every argument at every turn. In the end, she quite eloquently exposed my exes "creative financing" and philandering. The icing on the cake? She exposed the mistress in an alienation of affection lawsuit. Divorce is ugly for sure and mine was no different, but knowing I had Carolyn and her team on my side certainly made it easier to sleep at night.

If you have any situation in your life that is important enough for you to seek out the advice of an attorney, I urge you to contact Woodruff Law Firm. Once you walk in the door, you are greeted with a kind, caring spirit from a professional staff member who will direct you to your appointment contact in a very timely manner. They have assisted me on several occasions and it still amazes me how they actually took my case so personally. I could sense the compassion in every aspect. Their balance between professionalism and compassion far exceeded my expectations. There was never a call, email, or other that wasn't handled with complete sincerity. I felt they were 100% fair on their fees and made everything understandable at the time of the initial consultation in order to avoid "hidden surprises later." When it comes to my family's legal matters, I wouldn't consider choosing anyone but the wonderful, professional folks at Woodruff Law Firm. They hold a special place in our hearts.

So far I can only say wonderful things about this law firm. They make understanding easy and they are very personable and patient. From the first time I called to make an appointment everyone has gone above and beyond for me and has been very generous. April 17th was my last in- firm visit and on the way home I received a phone call from them asking if I'd like to have four free tickets to the next Grasshoppers game. (Typing this up even gives me goosebumps.) I was and still am so happy that they thought of me and my family. The following saturday myself, my parents and my two year old son went to the game. He loved it! it was his first game, we stayed the whole time and he said "more" when the fireworks were over. I wouldnt have been able to share that experience with my son had they not thought of me and offered me free tickets. Considering the circumstances that got me to this law firm, I am happy I chose them and thankful for all of them. I would recommend them to anyone who needed the services!

EXCELLENT LAW FIRM. Carolyn has taken 8 years of extremely stressful, high-conflict, post-divorce and made it manageable. She is able to size up the situation and implement lasting solutions. She has intuition, professionalism, experience and skill. I have been impressed with everyone at the firm with whom I have worked. I have received friendly, caring and professional service from the paralegals and office manager. The attorneys have been patient, kind, thorough and efficient in completing work and explaining documents and laws to me. They have been available on short notice to handle urgent questions via telephone. They have taken time to listen to my concerns and then help to calm the situation by explaining possible actions and outcomes. Court dates were handled without me having to worry one bit. The work on my case has been handled in a very timely fashion, and my questions receive prompt responses. Woodruff Law's compassion shows in their knowledge of how crucial time can be to parents with young children involved in a divorce. I am very grateful to Woodruff Law Firm for their excellent work.
