Aliette Carolan represented and supported me during my divorce from a 15 year marriage. She was knowledgeable and understanding of how I wished to move forward through that challenging life moment. Always available, and tuned in to what I needed, I can not recommend her or her associate Ashley Wahl more. If you are looking for beyond competency; but someone who can truly be a support for you in any family law situation, you should look no further. Amazing outcome!

Aliette and her team supported me through my divorce case. They answered all the questions that I had, proactively explaining specific legal terms in a language that was easy to understand, provided all the guidance and insights required, and worked tirelessly on my case. I felt all the time that I was their first priority, and that they cared about me, working on my best interest. I was blessed to have Aliette and her team supporting me, and I am sure they threat everybody with the same diligence and respect.

Aliette represented me after my former husband filed for modification of Time Sharing and Child Support. Aliette was not only very knowledgeable but caring, as though she were family. I always felt I could completely trust her. She took her time to explain every step of the process "best case" and "worst case". Aliette and her entire team made me feel at ease through one of the most difficult times in my life.

My meetings with Aliette were always professional. I was constantly impressed with not only her knowledge, but also her caring nature. As my case progressed, I was continuously reminded of her human side. I always felt like she had my best interests at heart. This was my first divorce experience, but I always felt at ease in her office. As I came to learn, divorce is not black and white. My biggest fear was the fear of the unknown. Aliette made me feel comfortable. She relaxed my fears. She not only gave me excellent professional advice, but also she gave me family advice, as if I was a part of her family. I cannot imagine making it through this process with any other attorney. I think in my mind, she redefined my previous definition of an attorney. The legal profession needs more people like Aliette. And maybe that is my point, I would refer to Aliette as a person or a friend, not a stone cold attorney whose only interest is winning a case, at whatever the cost. I would not hesitate to refer any friend or family member to Aliette if they ever have any family issues, divorce or otherwise. I hope I never need another divorce attorney again, but if I do, Aliette would be the only person I would hire. In fact, I would include her entire staff. When I say Aliette, I would be remiss if I did not include her knowledgeable staff under that same umbrella. it would not be uncommon to receive emails late in the evening from her staff. From the moment I walked into her office, I was treated warmly by not only Aliette, but her entire staff. I am still not comfortable with the idea of divorce, but I am comfortable with hiring Aliette and her staff.

I retained Ms. Hernandez Carolan to represent a family member in a divorce proceeding. Ms. Carolan was responsive, effective and maintained a positive and supportive attitude throughout the process. Even after the divorce was finalized Ms. Carolan assisted us with ensuring some pending issues that were stijpulated in the mediation settlement were fully complied with. I would highly recommend Aliette as she is a well qualified professional with the ability to advocate aggressively for her client while keeping him/her fully informed of the process.

I went to Mrs Carolan 5 years after my divorce was finalized from a very difficult man who refused to comply with the Divorce Decree order. I can only say that I wish she had represented me at the time that my divorce was originally filed. She is a true professional, knowledgeable, caring and efficient. She made me feel I was her best client and my case, the most important she ever had. She was successful with my case and appeal to the Judgement, while keeping me calm and confident. I recommend her very highly, no matter how difficult you might think your case is. At the end I feel blessed that I came to have her represent me at such a trying period of my life. Thank you Aliette Ana

Aliette represented me in my time sharing and reunification case. She was honest, professional, compassionate and extremely knowledgeable. As a result the court and mediation were successful . The mediator complemented "what a great attorney you have" Aliette, was always responsive to my needs. Her fees were resonable.

Your incredible knowledge of the process and command of the steps throughout gave me much needed guidance and confidence...I also felt a perpetual aim toward keeping the momentum of my action moving toward legal and psychological resolution. THANK YOU is the only thing that came to mind as I started this review. Thank you for representing me during a very stressful time in my life. Your support and advice were greatly appreciated...Your office has been wonderful to work with and it's been a pleasure to get to know you!

Aliette is on of the few attorneys I have met who does what she says and says what she means....never got empty promises and always got the straight truth.
