I can't say enough about Kathleen Mangan and her team. I had a very difficult divorce situation which included needing a protection order and from the first moment I contacted Kathleen and her team, my anxiety was reduced. Not only did it take a fraction of the time I expected it to, the communication I received the entire time was top notch. She empowered me to be strong and do what was necessary to cross the finish line successfully while at the same time ensuring my safety. If you need an attorney who will ensure your best interests are at the forefront, who will take the time to educate you along the way on what your responsibility is and who truly has the expertise needed to successfully navigate the judicial system requirements effectively, then you want Kathleen and her team. Worth every penny and they will be on my list of my things to be thankful for every year from this point on! I wish they had a scale that went higher than 5 star here - Kathleen and her team more than exceeded my expectations and I would give them a million stars!
Response from the owner:Thank you, Janet! You were such a joy to work with and the entire staff adores you!

Mathew, Rebecca and Kathleen all assisted on my case at one point with ultimately Rebecca going to court with me. I can tell you from firsthand experience, this attorney knows what she is doing! Watching the other attorneys in court, compared to her, made it obvious that she simply in a league of her own. Don’t think twice, call Carlson Work.
