Beyond Belief Incredible Attorney Who Cares and Works!…read more
I found Carol through a referral to handle my military case. She stuck with me for a year through so many of my personal and legal ups and downs, my emotions and health issues because of what happened to me, and she is truly remarkable. To see her in action is tremendous! I've watched an entire room while Carol was presenting and she's so quick with information in terms of citing regulations on the spot against speculative and unsubstantiated remarks coming from the other side. Truly in awe of her abilities. She is more than just an incredible person, but a great attorney. She translated everything to me in plain English, went above and beyond to protect me legally/physically without charging me the extra tens of thousands of dollars she deserved for working long hours on my case, and of course, we received the judgement I needed in order for me to feel safe and try to live my life after trauma. Not trying to be dramatic, but to whomever is reading this, know that Carol is the person you want on your side. I initially approached another attorney (not at this firm) and he told me to "drop it," "don't pursue anything and move on." Carol never did that. She listened and believed in me.
I unequivocally recommend Carol (Saroja and Daisy) as your next attorney. Specifically, if you need 5-star representation, go with Ms. Thompson post haste. Why? She is highly effective, brilliant, thoughtful, creative and most of all; she accomplishes the goal of zealous advocacy without insult, injury or raising her voice. She communicates as well to her client (me) often, as she does to judges. Furthermore, her working knowledge of legal standards and your issues - even if based on first impression - is first-class. When? If you have a current attorney (fire them, I mean that with all sincerity), retain her and thank me later. Not all attorneys are created equally. If you are looking for an attorney, bring her on board immediately. I witnessed first hand, her ability to digest voluminous information - distill what was relevant and irrelevant and make cogent arguments. That goes double in a small area where the paucity of effective counsel leaves much to be desired. You have a diamond in the rough with Carol and her team. She does not use superfluous words or enter anything into evidence to make the case for opposing counsel. She understands the burden of proof and uses it effectively and surgically. Background? For context (what is it worth), I never write reviews. Everyone's situation is different. I also put little opinion in the faith of others. However, Carol's representation was so beyond perfection, that I believe I owe it to everyone reading this, that you hire her immediately. What's more, if it matters, I have used five attorneys now, so I believe I know what good and bad lawyering looks like (or should like). Carol represented me in a sensitive matter. She took the matter to its logical conclusion and prepared me and represented my interest before the tribunal very well. First, her legal acumen is without peer. Opposing counsel, while over-matched, was a worthy adversary. Nevertheless, she objected when necessary. She also did not do anything to showboat or appease me for the sake of "getting even". Additionally she made well-reasoned, articulated and ultimately effective arguments on my behalf. Second, her demeanor is even keel. Her temperament is the same. She knows how to calm you down, while also laying the crumbs for the trier of fact to find in your favor. To conclude, her sunny disposition is just who she is; a good-hearted person. However, do not let that disarm you, she is legally lethal when necessary. That said, if you need to win and "beat the case," Carol is who you should go with immediately.
Highly, highly recommend Carol and her team. --Very Sincerely, Retired [and now safe] Air Force Veteran.
