I graduated Magna Cum Laude, and was excited to join the firm shortly thereafter.During the summer of 2015, I was part of the trial team that obtained at $681k verdict in Kentucky.

My wife and I had a pretty complex case regarding medical malpractice, more specifically, cancer. Caroline along with her team at Whitfield, Bryson & Mason dove right in head first and never looked back. We were turned down by many other firms because they were all afraid of the risk. Not these guys and gals. They were not scared to tackle this head-on and left no stone unturned. Caroline went above and beyond what I ever expected. She contacted doctor's out of state, she drove many miles to meet with my wife's doctor in person, honestly I don't know how many hours and miles she dedicated to our family, but one thing's for sure, she cared. Also, I have to mention John Whitfield (Nobody's gonna push John around, he's seen and done it all.) He knows when you've been done wrong and will not let anyone get away with it. As with many cases, it can be a lengthy process, but Caroline and the team stayed with it. She communicated with me directly on a weekly basis regarding any updates on our case and was always available to answer any concerns or questions we had. They care first and foremost about YOU and your family, not how much money they can make off a case (unlike some of the bigger name, fancy TV commercial firms). They laughed with us and cried with us through our journey and ultimately SETTLED our case out of court. My wife who is unfortunately no longer with us said it best, "I feel like they really care about me, I consider them good friends." And she was right, they are good friends. As for me personally, I hope to never need a lawyer again, but if I do, I know exactly who I'll be calling. I would recommend Caroline at Whitfield, Bryson & Mason 100%. They're great lawyers and great people.

Caroline was very professional, kind and considerate through my case of almost three years, making the entire process much easier to go through. I had utmost confidence in the outcome from the way the case was handled and I wasn't disappointed. Very thankful for everything she has done to help me, and I highly recommend her to anyone in need of an attorney.

There is no review that would do Caroline Justice to describe how an excellent attorney she is. You always hear bad stories about lawyers and I have to admit, there were no unpleasant experiences while dealing with Caroline and the firm. From day one, she managed to gain my trust and confidence right to the end of the case. I’ll skip right to the strengths because there were no weaknesses. Caroline is highly reliable and approachable, she always called when she said she will call and promptly returned my calls/emails mostly within the same day. She is a good listener and pay attention to small details no matter how small. In depositions she is straightforward, organized and intelligent which was very comforting and reassuring. Not that I would wish to go to another deposition, but if I have to , I would want Caroline on my side. And finally, in person she is a lovely human being and personable which helps a lot in communications. I would use her services again if I need to because I know that she has my best interest in mind while being fair and human.

Caroline was such a needed ally during the entirety of a 2+ year lawsuit. Having never been involved in anything of this nature, I was incredibly reassured by her confidence, clarity, communication, and positive nature. When things took a turn or felt unclear, Caroline was proactive in keeping us informed of options and possible next steps. Caroline and her team never backed down and stood up for myself and the others involved... Though we never met, upon first conversation I felt that Caroline was someone that I could trust, that I could talk to candidly, that I knew would make the best decisions on my behalf. Thanks to her incredibly hard work and dedication, Whitfield Bryson & Mason won our case with positive results. While being involved in a lawsuit isn't something that I would ever choose, I am so grateful to Caroline for making it a fairly painless process that will end up affecting my life in a positive light.

Caroline successfully guided me through a complex personal injury mediation process as part of the Whitfield, Bryson & Mason group. She provided frequent and clear updates throughout, and the overall communication was excellent. She was highly responsive to emails and phone calls. It is clear she worked as hard as she could to get the best outcome possible. While I was not able to see her negations in person, it is evident from the outcome that she is highly skilled. If I had any similar legal cases in the future, I would go to Caroline immediately. The legal world is much easier to navigate with great lawyers like her.

Caroline and the WBM team were absolutely fantastic. The entire process was handled seamlessly with great results. Every step was outlined and implemented with extreme competence and professionalism. Caroline herself is whip-smart, articulate, concise, proficient and yet, almost just as important, very understanding and personable. Extremely happy with the outcome and very grateful for her and the team's skills, dedication and hard work.

Caroline Ramsey Taylor, and the team at WBM, delivered superlative results, and I'm extremely pleased with the outcome. They kept me abreast of developments, patiently and methodically navigating the legal process toward a fully satisfying conclusion, all the while maintaining a professional yet personable interactions with me. I don't think I could have been any better represented.

I know it's a cartoon icon statement but it simplifies the happiness and joy we have reached thanks to Caroline's awesomeness. The motorcycle accident was horrible. Carolines involvement was fantastic. We hired a motorcycle riding lawyers company and it was the best thing we did. We got all our medical bills paid, our legal bills paid and she got enough in the settlement so that we can get another motorcycle and continue on with our lives almost as they where before. I strongly suggest that anyone looking for an attorney absolutely without a doubt at least sit with her and her firm for any consultation. Don't let the smile fool you, she's got bite!!!!
