Divorce is a grueling, manipulative, and a mentally draining process even in the most amicable of situations. From the first moment, Ms. Carey proved herself to be entirely trustworthy, extremely honest, and nothing short of spectacular in her advocacy and representation of my interests. She has a terrific blend of patience along with the motivational spirit to navigate her client through not so pleasant moments with an eye toward making every attempt for peaceful resolution. I was consulted on every negotiating item, every interaction with opposing counsel, and absolutely no decision or action was taken without my approval. I do not think there are many divorce attorneys around that provide that level of transparency and service. I highly highly recommend Ms. Carey to anyone in need of legal representation.

Kristen Carey has worked on post-decree divorce issues concerning our family for almost two years this coming summer. She has been very organized and thorough in how she approaches solving the issues and always handles herself in a caring way. Kristen quickly responds to e-mails and calls, whether they are from her client, such as myself, opposing counsel, or the child’s representative. She tries to resolve issues amicably using the facts and what is in the best interest of the children. She is 100% for the good of the family and will go to Court when necessary to support her client and the children’s best interests. In Court matters, Kristen is well prepared and well versed in the facts of the case. She is an excellent speaker and writer, who has unique problem-solving skills. I feel an inner peace knowing that Kristen is there for us through these very difficult times and that she listens and responds to the needs of our family.

I have been extremely pleased with the legal services I have received from Kristen Carey. She is very knowledgeable about the law and was always able to trouble shoot when I needed to know my options. Ms. Carey showed genuine concern for my case and the well being of my child which is the MOST important characteristic people look for when being involved in the family court system. She always provided accurate information to me and demonstrated very good follow through when dealing with other attorneys or people involved in the case. She was extremely professional in court and she made me feel very confident when I had to appear as well. I have absolutely nothing but wonderful things to say about Kristen Carey and I truly believe that the legal services provided by her brought the best outcome for my case. I have already begun to refer friends to her. I would highly recommend Ms. Carey to anyone!!!! You will not be disappointed.
