Never been in this situation before and I didn’t know any divorce attorneys.A paralegal friend of mine recommended Carmella. The moment I walked in for my initial interview she made me feel comfortable we talked & I decided to move forward with her. Carmella always kept me informed and I was always welcome to phone or stop by to speak with her R her assistant Ashley. Anyways the outcome was awesome 100% custody of my little angel. I highly recommend her!!!

If you want a lawyer that will embellish the truth then this is the lawyer for you .
This was my wife’s lawyer.
My ex-wife had to call her at one point and tell her that she needs to stop making me look like a bad guy which I am not. She embellished the truth she made up stuff that was not accurate .
According to my ex-wife she would charge for every email or every phone call that was made to the office. At one point my ex-wife could not make any contact with this lawyer for almost 4 to 5 weeks there was no response from her office phone call or email. According to other lawyers in town she was falling behind on all of her cases. Lack of follow through cost my ex-wife and myself literally thousands and thousands of dollars.
The funniest thing that happened in the court was the judge told my ex-wife to go get a job and my wife’s lawyer said “she’s not qualified to do anything“ that is absolutely hysterical the judge was very upset and said you mean to tell me your client is not capable of getting an entry-level job go get a job !!!( by the way my wife had many sales positions for the past 20 years so she was plenty capable of working )
If you need a lawyer that will not charge you for every email or phone call to the office Don Anderson is the lawyer for you.His office staff is very capable and answered so many questions for me and there was no charge for any of them unlike the lawyer above . She was cheaper than my lawyer but because she charge for every single little thing she wound up being way more expensive than mine.
If you are contemplating a divorce I would encourage you to seek every possible avenue to restore the marriage other than losing a child divorce is the most devastating experience that anybody could possibly go through. Obviously if you are truly in an abusive situation you need to get out but if you’re just not happy or feel like you’re not in love then I would challenge you to find out what love really is. Love is not just a feeling and emotion love is a commitment to honor and cherish until death do you part. Our society is so self-centered and they don’t understand that marriage is not supposed to be 50-50 it’s supposed to be 100-100.
I have adult children and the devastation that they experienced as a result of my wife choosing to leave me for an unhealthy emotional relationship with a female friend was simply not right. I can only imagine what young children in a divorce situation must go through after viewing what my adult children had to go through. So again please think twice before putting your family through this devastating thing called divorce. Again unless you are in a physically abusive situation or there is infidelity. If you haven’t been counseling or have not read books on how to make your marriage better then I’m telling you you are not justified in getting a divorce until you have sought out all possible methods to restoring the relationship. I would also seek Jesus and pray what he would have you do. Beware of friends that tell you to divorce often their owen hurt and pain can sway you the wrong way.

D'Amato may be conventionally attractive on the outside, but once one truly observes her, it is apparent that she is a vulture who feeds on the broken hearts of children. Her interest is only aggression in the court room, not ensuring that justice prevail. She is truly aggressive, but she fights for the dark side, and perpetuates our socioeconomic problems by doing so. If you value your soul, proceed with extreme caution. There are children being exploited, & D'Amato will defend the indefensible if the price is right.

This young woman is a real go getter

One of the few attorneys that actually does the work herself and doesn't rely on paralegals for everything. She is also more reasonably priced than many other attorneys. She is young and aggressive and is knowledgeable about current family law. Some of the other attorneys I have spoken with seem to be out of touch on several aspects of the law.

Represents criminals who take advantage and use the system. The fact she allows it and doesn't turn her clients to do things the right way, I don't know how she sleeps at night. Also doesn't ever respond via e mail, or phone either because she is scared she doesn't have a case, or just wants to milk more money out of her clients. Beware people.
