In 2006, I went to meet with Carol Caldwell. I was not in a happy situation and concerned about my future. A friend recommended I write a few notes about my situation. My notes turned out to be five pages typed single-spaced. When I met with Carol, I told her I had notes. She read the five pages. She looked at me and asked if I had any idea how much danger I was in. That was when the walls of shame and secrecy came crashing down. My husband was severely abusive, but I was too ashamed to admit it. Carol lay down her requirements: I needed to get in contact with Betty Griffin House for a place to stay and counseling before she'd begin the process. Once that happened, she moved fast. I had an injunction in two weeks and the divorce was final in six weeks. To say she changed my life is an understatement. She saved my life. She did not accept a case for the sake of work. She focused on my safety and well-being. Every step of the way, there were moments where the counseling at Betty Griffin helped me. I do not believe I would be where I am now if I had chosen any other lawyer. She is undoubtedly, the best there is.

Carol did a terrific job representing me in a family law case. She is very knowledgeable about the law and is the perfect choice for a case involving health issues. I would highly recommend her to anyone needing help with a family law case.

I highly recommend Carol Caldwell as an attorney. I hired her to represent me in a highly contested divorce case involving children. She always had my children's best interest at heart and fought hard for them and me. She is a force to be reckoned with in the court room. She is always so well prepared and meticulous in every detail, resourceful, creative and knows the Florida law. Anything the opposing counsel threw at us never caused Miss Caldwell to stumble. She was available to answer my questions and concerns at all times. Her response to every, email, text or phone message was prompt. From my first meeting with her to the final hearing she was professional but extremely easy to talk to. Miss Caldwell always took the time to make sure I understood the proceedings and that I was prepared for court hearings. Miss Caldwell's office staff are also amazing. They went above and beyond to help me and my children many times. They always encouraged me, kept me informed, and very helpful with paper work. The whole team worked well together on my case.

Carol has continued to represent me in family law matters for 5 years. She is a compassionate person and as an attorney, she represents with a foundation that is consistent with the reality that is our legal system today. She did not waste my money or time complicating the process with needless motions or conversation. When she took action, she based it on positions we could win on and wrote concise arguments. She was honest. At times, it can be frustrating to have to someone tell you that you need to do the work to make sure you can backup what you're claiming. But, in the long run, you can't win your case if you don't have it together. Carol held me accountable for what I needed to do to for my own case and in turn, she did her job using her legal expertise to gain desirable outcomes.

I have a very lengthy and extensive case and after searching for the legal representation I was looking for for many years, I can say I would highly recommend Carol Caldwell. Divorces are unfortunate, but I was incredibly fortunate to have found Carol as my attorney. My case is extremely high when it comes to the legal complexity and emotionally saturated with issues in need to be resolved. Sadly, in time I've come learn that cases such as mine are becoming increasingly common as the byproduct of today's lives and families. I couldn't have been in better hands. Carol is incomparable in the depth and breadth of her knowledge and understanding of family law, her strength and finesse in the legal arena, and most of all her personal character and integrity. She is as strong and eloquent in taking a stand in court (where she is universally liked), as she is patient and skillful around the negotiation table (resolution). And she works absolutely tirelessly: even though she had many cases to deal with she always responded promptly and thoughtfully to any of my concerns. Because of all this she successfully navigated a wide range of problems such as complex and unusual mental health situations, extreme emotional and physical stress, and an erratic opposing counsel all at once. Looking back, I realize that Carol somehow accomplished the seemingly impossible task of keeping us focused on the most critical issues at stake, while at the same time staying perfectly in tune with the various "moods" of the many hearings as well as a trial when I experienced them. Initially I was badly bruised at the onset of my case but Carol has been a source of peace throughout the many years of my litigation. Thank you Carol.

I am currently a client of Carol Caldwell. I evaluated several local attorneys and out of all of them I was extremely impressed with Ms. Caldwell. At our initial meeting she made time for me and was willing to listen to me and did not make me feel like we had a time limit. Unlike the other attorneys, we only discussed my children and family's situation. She informed me that she used to be a mental health nurse and that my children's mental and physical health was of the utmost importance. After utilising Ms. Caldwell services for the past 6 months, I have found that she is very competent professionally. She has a good intuition about was is happening in her cases, and takes appropriate legal steps to get the best outcomes. Ms. Caldwell's clients are very important to her, she is always willing to take time and help them and their family.

I had hired Ms. Caldwell while dealing with an alcoholic ex and wanting to protect my daughter. She was referred to me by a colleague that had gone through a similar situation. Ms. Caldwell was very knowledgable, concise, and offered advice that always kept my daughter's and my safety at the forefront. She and her staff were always in communication and kept me up to date every step of the way. We settled in mediation and I am very happy with the outcome! I would recommend Ms. Caldwell to any one in need!

I hired Carol to obtain a guardianship for my aunt. This was a very complex case and she handle very professionally and effectively. I continue to retain her for this case.

I hired Ms. Caldwell to guide me through the nuances of a long term marriage ending in divorce. I felt she presented the details of law in a way I could easily understand, which enabled me to make my own decisions. She took the time to listen and understand and supported my efforts to bring about the divorce in a decent manner. I learned how to approach reaching a settlement which left both parties able to move forward. I never felt rushed and her office is very reachable. If you have to go through this event in your life, I believe Ms. Caldwell is knowledgeable attorney and a very good guide.

Carol helped me through a very difficult divorce and custody case. She was knowledgeable and had great tactics that achieved what I was wanting. Anytime I had a question she was available or would get right back to me.
