Do not hire her, you wont be paying for an attorney but an overpriced secretary. Takes up more cases that she can handle, never has time to actually put attention on your case. We have hired her through ARAG to handle child custody issues. She has provided 0 consultation (apart from the initial one) and at time it took her over 3 month to respond to us! We have followed her advise and now lost any leverage we had for modification going forward. We filed an official complaint with ARAG now, not that it helps us with the mess she left us in now.

Caroline had too many clients to devote the time necessary to my case. Among other mistakes made throughout the divorce process, she went into mediation without having completed the mediation spreadsheet. Instead of utilizing time available the morning of mediation, she used the time to reply to other clients’ e-mails. When the mediator, Amanda Andrae, asked for our proposal, Caroline handed it to her incomplete and inaccurate. The mediator had to point out to Caroline that my insurance policy was not a $100,000 asset of mine. The mediator ended up having to draw up our proposal for us. The spreadsheet did not make much sense to me, but I trusted the mediator and Caroline when they said this was a fair and accurate division. I discovered after it was too late that Caroline did not catch the fact that the mediator had mistakenly listed a $28,000 bank account as my ex-spouse’s separate property rather than an asset of his. This oversight on Caroline’s part cost me $28,000. Since Caroline is a divorce attorney and this was my first divorce, I mistakenly trusted her to lead me through this process competently and unfortunately that was not the case.

Failed to communicate matters regarding the case in a competent, prompt and diligent manner. Was not sufficiently prepared to handle the case - too much going on - too many cases accepted?? We'll never know. This was indicative of frantic notes scribbled in margins instead of submitting property prepared documents to court and opposing counsel. Excessive ethics violations throughout - the $14k for a forensics team computer hacking? C'mon Caroline! Remember what you learned in law school.
