Carol helped me with my custody case and was able to keep my daughter from relocating with her mother to another state. She is professional, straight forward and honest. It was a pleasure working with her and her team. Everyone at the firm is very professional and helpful in every way possible. She was very prompt with communication and was transparent the whole time with what to expect during the case. I highly recommend Carol to anyone looking for a lawyer who is trustworthy, experienced and very knowledgeable!!

Carol was great!! From the very beginning I was told what to expect and what my chances were in my custody battle. There were no surprises, just good old fashion honesty and dedicated work.

Carol Ehlenberger was exactly what I needed for my divorce. I had a "simple" non contested divorce this past year and she took such good care of my case. I am sure it was "small" in comparison to most she handles but she treated my case with such importance that I never felt worried about any small details. She took time for all of my calls and repeat questions. When I needed something done by a certain time it was done and done exactly the way I wanted it. I never had to worry about small details and got to go about my daily life and work without having to stress about the process of my case. I have recommended several folks to Carol and a few have retained her services as well. They were also very happy. Even my former spouse passed along her contact information to friends of his for her services. Thank you again for all of the help!

Carol is easy to work with and things get resolved/moved forward very quickly. She is knowledgeable and did her best to protect my interests. While we did come down to the wire, we avoided trial and settled out of court in what i believe is a fair settlement.

Carol represented me for a divorce litigation. She was extremely helpful in guiding me through the process and providing sage counsel throughout. Carol did an outstanding job in keeping me focused as opposing counsel presented continued roadblocks to resolution. Carol identified the main issues to be addressed early in the process and ensured we addressed the key issues and not the extraneous issues presented. Carol's knowledge of the pertinent law was evident in working with opposing counsel. In addition, her dealings with the various opposing counsel was professional yet decisive and was a significant contributor to the final result obtained. Carol's knowledge of the process and the options available was never more evident when it came to the selection of the mediator. Her demeanor was influential in this key part of the process. I would highly recommend Carol to anyone going through the divorce process.

Carol has represented me for over 14 years. She has always provided me with solid advice and honest recommendations. Though my divorce and custody issues have not been easy, she has handled them with skill and expert knowledge. I wouldn't consider using anyone else.

I had two consultations with Ms. Ehlenberger and both opportunities were bad experiences. As other reviews mentioned, Ms. Ehlenberger was more interested in having a friendly relationship with opposing counsel than in protecting my best interests. She also didn’t have the answer to many of my questions and was not pleasant at all. I had a consultation with another attorney and realized immediately the huge difference in knowledge and treatment.

Carol took my divorce case knowing that Spousal support would likely be the only contentious issue. In 6 months time, the only thing Carol accomplished for me was to deliver my answers to my spouses Interrogatories and document requests, 2 weeks overdue. Carol was hard to get a hold of and was unresponsive to my specific requests. She was determined to have me agree to paying more in temporary support than I could afford and when I finally said no, she tried to withdraw as my counsel with hearings scheduled in court just days away. In my opinion, Ms. Ehlenberger was more interested in having a friendly relationship with opposing counsel than in protecting my best interests.
