Law Offices of Carol L. James

"I seriously question whether anyone could find a more competent best interest attorney than Carol L. James. When my wife and I separated, with no vetting of which household would be best suited to have sole physical custody, they were placed with their mother simply because I had been the breadwinner. It was against the children's wishes, but no one listened, and so they suffered 6 years in an emotionally-abusive environment until they were old enough to be represented in Court. Ms. James powerfully and convincingly advocated for them and I was awarded sole physical and legal custody with visitation solely at the discretion of the children. This radically changed our lives for the better, and Ms. James, along with my counsel, was largely responsible for this outcome. You will be thankful for the rest of your days that you retained her for your children."

"Carol James is an experienced family law practitioner and a great mediator. She is a very strong advocate for her clients but at the same time she is very compassionate and empathetic. I highly recommend her."

"Mrs.James was an amazing attorney and I consider her a friend. She made sure to explain everything to me clearly from the beginning and guided me through the most difficult divorce. Knowing my financial difficulties she was understanding with the fees and patient with me. She helped me fight for what I deserved as well as what was best for my 2 young kids. She was always so attentive to my case and responded to my emails and calls very quickly. She’s professional, caring and understanding. I was very pleased with her services and would refer her to anyone that needs a good, respectful lawyer that cares about her clients."

"Ms. James was both professional and personable in her efforts and successfully mediated my divorce and a contempt charge. She took cases that most certainly would have gone to trial and was able to have both cases not see a court room. I believe she was fair to both sides and I didn’t experience any partiality the other reviewer referenced. I didn’t get everything to go my way but I didn’t expect to. She did exactly what she should have."

"I worked with Carol on my first divorce and emergency child custody situation. This was one of the most difficult periods of my life. Even when I wasn't thinking clearly of how my agreement was going to affect my future she was. As a father it felt good to have a strong advocate who was able to help me understand that I have rights and didnt need to beleive what I was being told by others in terms of horror stories of losing everything. I am very happy with the outcome of my divorce and custody agreement. She was able to provide a very comprehensive and thorough free consultation. I feel the cost was reasonable and fair, especially compared to other offices I spoke with. Would highly recommend and consider working with again if necessary for custody dispute. Thank you Carol, Zak"
