My experience with Caron Gaff has been horrific. For seven years all she did was request more and more money and did nothing for it. Every time my phone rang and my caller ID showed her name. It was to inform me that my retainer needed to be replenished. In the breakdown of all of what my money was spent on, it was about 5% court filing, 10% correspondence and phone conversations with my husband's lawyer and 85% of phone conversations with me. When I spoke to her over the phone I was being charged and most of the conversation was me refreshing her memory on who I was and brought her up to date on my case. And the whole time she had the timer on clocking the length of the conversation to pay herself out of my retainer account. Seven years and thousands of dollars, including a loan from my 401K and nothing to show for it but emails and phone calls. One of her famous comments to "me" (when I felt overwhelmed and considered dropping my case because of my finances being stretched), she would say " I care about you and want to see you get what you deserve" you've come to far to stop now". Since I couldn't come up with the $1500 requested to keep my retainer balance, It was suggested that I can make a deposit monthly to build up my balance. And you better believe every month I got a call from her office for approval to withdraw from my debit account. In the mean time my case was at a stand still and my account would have time to build up. Then I received a call from her office and she told me that my husband's and his lawyer wanted to move forward with my case, at this point I had built up a balance of $1900+. I was fine with it and was grateful that I had some money in my account to work with. Then during the same phone call with Gaff's office they ask me when can I have more money to put in my account. I asked about the $1900 that was already there to be used, I was told that, it would be used up within the next week or so just in filing papers...That was it, I had had enough, I told her I was pulling out. There was no way I could come up with another cent. I was still paying on the 401K loan that I got for the first $5000, Covid epidemic caused my hours at work to be cut, my utility bills were past due, my home runs on oil heat and I was facing winter months and heating oil cost was unpredictable and I had medical bills. So I ask her to drop my case. Then I ask if I could please have the $1900+ balance left in my account. All of the sweet talk, promises and we care about you and want to take care of you was gone. I got a NO I can not have my money back, even though it would not be used I couldn't have it back. Me explaining that I can use it because of my financial and employment issues, didn't matter. Not so long ago I spoke with her staff and again ask for a refund I explained I had to have a necessary surgery scheduled for 8/31/22 and that money would be a major help. I was told she would see what she can do. Well I never heard back one way or another. As I write this review I am post operative recovering not working at the time and watching the medical bills pile up. PLEASE do your research when looking for a lawyer. Check AVVO, Social Media, etc.

Had lot of trouble with her and her legal team. every few months a new attorney on the case. Keep forgetting details. Judge scolded her really badly in court. Judge hated her and hurt me ..

How does this woman even have 4/5 stars??And how is she still able to legally swindle people of their hard earned money. If I could give 0 stars, that's what she deserves. She just wants your $ and could care less about the results. We have little recourse for poor representation than a review. Her only response to a poor review is to lie or ask Google to delete.

Caron is excellent in convincing you that she has your best interests at heart, but she literally could care less about the outcome of your case, let alone the thousands of dollars it costs for her to represent you since she is not accountable for the outcome. I'm highly disappointed that our paths crossed and will always be cautious with lawyers after my experience with her.

Worst decision I've ever made. Do yourselves a favor and find a loaf of rye bread and some butter. You'll get farther in court with that then these sham lawyers. Talked a real big talk. Slam dunk this. Slam dunk that. When came time for court the trial was turned over to a Jr attorney at her "firm". Spoke to me and my wife like we were children. Shushed us. Cut us off, made faces at each other when we spoke. Caron and her "team" are the reasons why lawyers get stereotyped. Total scam artists. All she cares about us her fees. If just one person reads this and runs not walk the other way from her it'll be worth the time it took to write this. Refuses to turn over and of our files and notes then went ahead and told opposing counsel she no longer represented us. We only found out because opposing counsel informed us of the situation. Does not take criticism well and reverts to name calling and bullying if you don't so what she wants. Curses at you if you disagree with her and her cohorts and will never return your call unless it's about money. Avoid this awful woman at all cost. It will cost you tens of thousands of dollars otherwise.

After receiving an unexpected custody order in the mail, I began searching for a lawyer who specialized in child custody. I contacted and spoke with many local custody lawyers. As this was my first time searching for a lawyer, I wanted to pick the right one for my case. I realized that most of the attorney offices that I contacted seemed to be very short with their responses and provided minimum information. After placing many calls and beginning to feel defeated, I received a call back from a voicemail that I left at Graff and Associates where I spoke with Caron. She was very personable and took the time to get to know and understand my situation. Caron was genuine and provided me with an abundance of information that left me feeling very optimistic after our conversation. She was very prompt in scheduling a meeting to visit her office so that we could officially prepare for our Master’s hearing. Now almost a year later, and after the Judge’s hearing, I can say that I’m overjoyed that I chose Graff and Associates. I can finally exhale as the stress of custody is now over. Both Caron and Jessica did a PHENOMENAL job in consistently communicating, working very hard in arranging the exhibits needed to present to the judge, and actually LISTENING to what I wanted and taking the necessary steps produce winning case. I pray to never have the need for a custody lawyer again; however, if I had to, I’d feel very confident to have Caron and Jessica in my corner. I would highly recommend Graff and Associates.

Caron is an outstanding lawyer! Professional, dedicated, and caring. I have known Caron almost 12 years and is one of the most ethical, genuine, and honest people I’ve met. She offers over 30 years of wisdom and knowledge!

Caron and her associates negotiated a highly volatile matter that resulted in a conclusion that I considered good for me and that the other side considered fair

Caron & her associates helped me with my divorce from start to finish. I'm so thankful for the work they did and the ease at which my case progressed. Caron was sure to answer any questions I had and guided me through many difficult situations throughout the divorce process.

From our first phone conversation, I knew Caron Graff was the best attorney for me. She is attentive, knowledgeable and professional. My case presented some complex issues. Needless to say, it has been a difficult and emotional time for me. Caron's accessibility and competence in law only confirmed I made the right choice.
