I highly recommend Carmen. Her professionalism and more importantly her calmness guided me through an emotional divorce. Her staff is equally impressive, quick and accurate with all communication. I felt pricing was more than fair. Some attorneys have the audacity to charge 2-3x more for less work. Those attorneys give the divorce attorney a bad name. Carmen does not fall into that category.She sincerely cares about your outcome without taking financial advantage. Conveniently located in Downtown lauderdale with a warm and welcoming office. Thank you Carmen and staff.

a great attorneyEmpathetic, knowledgable , and professional. Attorney Soto is a great communicator. From our first meeting with her, I felt comfortable with her. She told me what to expect, and how she was going to proceed with our case. Attorney Soto has kept me in loop throughout the entire process. I am very proud to have her as my attorney. I had a night mare divorce and she made me feel at ease during the process. As soon as I met all her staff front administrative team to Ms. Martinez with the finances she breaks everything down and answers all questions there is no waiting with them. I really love how up to date they are with everything electronically & answer questions I had via email was always answered ASAP. Attorney Soto even answered me on a Sunday :) , thank you all ladies for your work , and Sara ! Forever Grateful,Gabrielle Leite

Upon many searches on Google, I chose this office to represent me through my divorce. I am hands down 100% satisfied and I HIGHLY recommend having Allison Bishow represent you! It was quick, easy, and she explained everything to me without acting like I was an inconvenience. You won't regret it!

I would like to thanks my attorney Allison Bishow , Lourdes Martinez Senior Paralegal , Melissa Botero Receptionist and everyone at Carmen G. Soto Law Firm. Your support from the first time we met at the office were very kind and supportive. I think if it weren't for you all, I would probably still in a situation that was not good. Thank you for being so understanding and gave me the guidance I needed to make a decision without fear. All your communications and follow-ups were precise , on time , efficient and always reinforced my confidence that my case was handled by the best family law team .Sincerely,Maria Teresa Juarbe

PLEASE do yourself a favor and look no further! This team is dedicated, compassionate, competent, responsive, quick, efficient and effective. Words can't begin to explain how satisfied I am with the services from Carmen and her crew. Every single person in this law office treated me with respect and treated my situation with compassion. Throughout the entire process my attorney, and everyone else in the office were extremely communicative, they replied to my emails quickly, they always answered the phone, I never had even a single bad moment in my 11 months working with them. I literally could not be happier with my experience as well as the results of my case. Due to the circumstances of my case I knew I had a very small chance of winning, some other attorneys recommended that I not even try to fight it, and after doing research I knew myself that it was very unlikely that I would win my case, however I decided to fight and Carmen and her team decided to fight with me and I did in fact with my case! The end result was far better than I could have ever anticipated! I got a very favorable judgement and was reunited with my son! I know this may sound dramatic, however I can honestly say that deciding to work with Carmen and her team ended up being one of the best decision I have ever made in my life!

Alison Bishop and Lourdes Martinez are actual life savers. I came to Carmen Sotos law office the day after my Ex-Husband had asked for a divorce and they completely calmed my nerves about the whole Divorce process. I wasnt expecting to get such kind treatment and it was honestly so refreshing, especially since my situation was a little complex and we had a couple bumps in the road. They were always extremely professional, caring and on top of everything. With my job Im not able to take a lot of days off to meet, so Lourdes really worked with me and was so flexible with everything. Every question I had they answered promptly! I also was expecting to be married for a lot longer because Ive heard divorce was such a nightmare and the process takes forever. Welp, nope. You cant always believe what you hear! I was divorced within 5 months, and thats with a lot of setbacks! Alison really made me feel comfortable during the actual court date with her preparedness and how calm she was. They even reached out to me after the court date to see how everything was. Truthfully, the whole team at Carmen Sotos Law Office are INCREDIBLE and I will ONLY refer them to my friends that are in needs of their services (I also carry around two of their cards in my wallet). I cant thank them enough for making this stressful situation comfortable for me and getting me exactly what was needed out of my case. I really am beyond thankful for everyone at the law office for being so kind and incredible. Be smart with your investments and your future. This is the law office you need to go to. No question about it.

After experiencing four attorneys in a singular divorce, I can confidently attest to this office being the absolute best Ive worked with. Their interest is in justice for their client, not profit. Service truly focused on quality and client interests. Truth be told, I wasnt the easiest client at times, with great odds stacked against my case. However, regardless of conflict or struggle, the service provided was consistently outstanding. If this office isnt your lawyers office youre gonna wish they were!

I wanted to write this review long time ago, never too late to share my experience about Attorney Soto and her firm with everyone who may need legal help and support and, dont have a direction to go. I had the great opportunity and blessing for the office of Attorney Carmen Soto to represent me; I only have an enormous gratitude of Attorney Soto and her firm, the outstanding and professional job, I still cant believe they make it possible for me. For that, I will always be grateful. I am a mother of 4 kids. I came with a small budget and an old complicated case from Texas which more than 4 attorneys here In south Florida discouraged me to file it since was an 'irremediable' case. Attorney Soto was always aware of all the details of my case, very understanding and kind. Her experience, knowledge and confidence in the case bring back my lost hope in this irremediable closed case. Only God knows what my family and I got through for many years, they changed our life and bring to us justice, peace and closure to our family. We have also very thankful with Attorney Allie Bishow, she walks very close with us in this journey. Her diligence, kindness, patient and understanding in this kind of scenarios is a blessing. My 11 years old kid is happy and grateful kid as well and, we all own this to Attorney Soto, Attorney Bishow and their efficient and courteous staff. THANK YOU!

I can not speak more highly of Carmen G Soto and her firm. I retained her for my bankruptcy case. This was not an easy thing to do when you know this is the last resort for one to be at especially late in life. Carmen and her team were compassionate, and extremely professional when it came to my case. Thank you, Carmen, for your expertise and help with my case. I highly recommend this firm.

I had the great opportunity for the office of Attorney Carmen Soto to represent me; the good work and the kindness of the whole team made this trip easy, fast and with the best terms; Attorney Carmen was always aware of all the details of my case. her experience and knowledge made me feel safe and protected, now also, I would fall short explaining the importance that the Paralegal Lourdes gave to my case, making me feel supported and with knowledge of everything at all times; Melissa is a person who always looks for solutions and facilitates any communication and with a beautiful attitude, just a Sara and other members work as a team that supports and seeks the best in the same direction; it was a great decision to have chosen this wonderful team that does its work effectively and humanely with great warmth and its greatest impulse is to achieve the best for the client. I can only say a thousand times THANK YOU!!!!

Carmen Soto Law Office is the best!!! Everyone on the staff is professional and curtious. She offers so much more than i ever expected. I was lawyer shopping and am so glad i found Carmens office. She keeps me posted on everything via email, phone or text. If i call the office to talk to her she is always available unless she is in court but responds ASAP. I am very happy with my choice and highly, highly recommend.

Carmen Soto is all about whats right and truthful. She is an absolute professional at her job. Carmen is who you want on your side at court. She is knowledgeable and knows the laws. Most of all she is understanding and compassionate (a human being) alongside being a fighter for her clients. I would definitely, eyes closed hire her again. Thank you Carmen for taking that dumb ;) weight off my shoulders.

I hired a company to perform professional services at my home. Unfortunately, they were unable to perform according to our agreement and were reluctant to stand by their contract. I obtained the services of M. Soto who reviewed the contract, interpreted it to me clearly so I understood my rights. Ms. Soto made contact and to my delight was effective in having my deposit returned as well as expenses reimbursed. She's an amazing advocate and very skilled in her profession. Additionally, the ease to which this was handled speaks highly of the smooth, professional well-run office behind this results-driven professional. Highly recommended if you want results!

Carmen, Lourdes and the entire office staff are professional and aggressive, yet the most genuine and caring attorneys I have dealt with. Not only did they win the case, they were able to get a judgement that went far beyond anything I would have expected. Even after this case is completed, they still respond to questions and work on the case, as things come up, without ever asking for additional money. I would strongly recommend Carmen Soto to anyone needing an attorney...especially a divorce attorney!

Carmen and her team are absolutely amazing. I highly recommend her. Weve delt with other family attorneys before and shes hands down the best. She was very understanding and compassionate. Extremely honest and straightforward which is amazing to find in an attorney. Her and her team were all hands in, trying to find the best outcome (which they did). I will definitely be working with them again.

I retained Ms. Soto to help me with a case. She was very compassionate and easy to talk with and straightforward. She explained the process at a level that eased understanding. She gave me all the options and the pros and cons and worked with me to make the best decisions for me and my personal situation. It was extremely helpful to have such and open and honest dialogue with an attorney. Her professionalism and caring demeanor was comforting during a turbulent transition in my life. I found the staff to be professional and committed to excellence. The firm aims to do their very best for every client. The process of working with their office was professional and seamless. I would work with her and her team again without hesitation.

Divorce is a life changing process. It was an emotional roller coaster for me. When I finally decided to go forward with ending my marriage the Ms. Soto and her staff were amazing. They guided me through every step, made sure I understood everything and were there with me in court when it was finalized. Full of compassion and support for what I was going through. I am so thankful they were there to help me through it.

Ms. Soto is an exceptional attorney. I have nothing but good things to say about Carmen Soto and her team. I felt 100% comfortable and taken care of during the entire process. She is very thorough, knowledgeable and efficient. I recommend her services to anyone going through a divorce or any family issue needing a lawyer.

I highly recommend carmen. Went to her for help with a civil matter as she was recommended to me by a friend who just went through a divorce. She allowed me to explain everything and took the time to go over my options. What I appreciated most was that she did not just tell me what she could do but how she could do it in a way that I could understand. I went to other firms to get consultations and I was not treated the same. Even better, her team was really attentive and welcoming. Go see carmen, she will take care of you!

Ms. Soto is by far the best attorney out there. She was able to give me peace of mind from day one that I walked into her office. Her reassurance and kind words not only helped lift me up but also gave me hope. I was able to move on with my life and resolve all my issues with her her help, guidance, and representation. I would only recommend her as she is a one of a kind attorney. She always answers her calls and emails immediately.Her staff is very professional and always helpful. If you need an amazing attorney, look no further, you couldn't ask for a better attorney than Ms. Soto.

My wife Maribeth, needed a great Family Law Attorney. After interviewing several who were recommended, we feel very fortunate she engaged Carmen Soto. Carmen, is not only professionally skilled in the law, she is a wonderful, down to earth human being. Who immediately put us at ease, by making the alien legal system, somewhat less intimidating. She has years of experience and is respected by the entire Legal community (Attorneys and Judges alike). Attorney Soto, was Maribeth's personal advocate who had her back.We recommend Attorney Soto, to all in need of a great Family Lawyer.

I did not speak with Carmen but her paralegal. I was apprehensive about speaking with a a paralegal and not an attorney although I know paralegals do a lot of case studies for attorneys.She gave me such good advice and made me feel confident about an upcoming hearing. If I have to retain Carmen I would do so just from speaking with the paralegal as she advised me with my matter I didn't even need an attorney! What attorney turns away business?! One that is interested in helping others! I just hope the advice on to get it dismissed works but if not it was explained to me that a separate case would have to be opened anyways closing the one that has been keeping me up at night! Thanks for your advice I'm looking forward to putting it in action!

After meeting with Carmen Soto in her office for a consultation, she reassured me that she would be able to handle my case. And not only did she exceed my expectations, she accompanied me with every step. Her staff made the process as simple as possible and they all were very knowledgeable as well as friendly. Having Ms. Soto at my hearing eased any worries I thought I would have. She clearly is one of the best attorneys I have encountered. I would HIGHLY recommend her! Thank you Carmen!

To anyone that is going through a divorce, I understand very well how important it is to choose the right attorney. I live in NYC and my wife moved to Florida. She did not let me see my son for almost 5 years. I did not know what to do, so I had to fly out to Florida to fight for visitation as well as a divorce. I spoke to many attorneys but ultimately I decided to go with Allison. I cant begin tell you how lucky I was for choosing her.My ex wife was a very difficult person to deal with, and her lawyer was even worse. Luckily Allison took control of the situation very quickly, always outsmarting the both of them and being two steps ahead. My exs lawyer was acting like I had no chance in seeing my son and was constantly bragging that he was going to win this case. When I originally started the divorce, I was absolutely convinced it was going to be never ending but Allison assured me that I would be seeing my son and finalizing the divorce within a few months. To my surprise, that was exactly what happened. My exs lawyer eventually gave up and I got to see my son! This was a very stressful and emotional time for me but Allison and her entire firm supported me in every way possible. I am proud to say I have finalized my divorce about a month ago and have since, been able to speak to my son everyday and see him. I still cant believe I am done.Big thank you to Allison!She is just an incredible attorney and an amazing personAgain, thank you so much to all of you. I will definitely be recommending this team to anyone else I know of thats going through a divorce down there in Florida.

Every negative review on here is facts! I had the same issue. I paid her over $3000 and even after I told her not to start my case, oh and I have it in email with HER confirming it, and still all she wants is money! They NEVER started my case. I NEVER gave them any documents. I NEVER got my money back! I basically prepaid her and yet she wanted more money even after a signed contract! Stay away from this office! Its true.... all she cares about is the money! Someone needs to call the bars on her! Ethics is out the window!

Do not use this firm. They will drop you for 1 late payment. Even though you call ahead to inform you will be only about 1 week late because of the holidays. They then lied about trying to make numerous attenpts to reach me. Only sent me an email telling me they will be dropping me. Horrible communication skills. Use another firm who actually is compassionate and sympathetic towards their clients because this one isn't.

I'm a professional I've worked in the law and and have had my own practice for for about 16 years doing divorces bankruptcies evictions and it was quote it that a man that has himself for a client is a fool, So I decided while I was going through my divorce to take the emotion and the personal out of the transaction and let another professional handle it. to say professional is an understatement because Allison Bishow has been more than just my attorney she became a great friend and Confidant throughout this entire process and took a lot of the emotion out of the situation for me making it just a little bit more tolerable to go through. Allison and the staff Carmen Soto Law Firm were very attentive to every phone call and email that I sent I cannot thank her and the entire staff enough kudos to Allison for such a wonderful job.

Well, first and foremost, absolutely the best experience I received from this firm. The moment I sat down for my FREE CONSULTATION with Allison, I was astonished by how poised she was in assisting me with legal advice. The fact that she possessed a smile throughout our entire conversation and made me laugh, put me at ease with meeting with a lawyer for the first time ever in my lifetime. I will always refer this firm to anyone seeking legal help.

Dear Future Clients: It is my pleasure to convey my experience with the expertise and outstanding representation of C. Soto Law Firm!! I was represented in a relocation case involving a minor child. All prejudices and stigmas associated were stacked against me since I am of the male minority species going against a mother. Also my history and financial means that as a society, we judge when characterizing the norms of people were not stacked in my favor not even remotely except.love. Despite some of the obstacles I mention, my initial meeting with Ms Martinez went well! She was very straight forward and listen with helpfulness. Then walked in ...unknowing our future attorney...Ms Allison Bishow. Her spirit and expertise with the team work was laid before my eyes. Ms Bishow and Ms Martinez closed the deal for me in choice!!! I felt like I was on the. A- side!! Ms Bishow not only well versed but seasoned in the Florida laws that govern relocation cases. She also..takes corrected actions to keep..you on task and involves you in course of action. The trauma in these cases can be very insidious. She guided us thru jungle of emotional trauma. She tailored her knowledge and passion to our situation thru her preparation of our case. Because of her attentiveness, I felt like a ....million dollar client!! Never did i feel I was left...in left field. Also, Ms Gomez was so professional and polite conveying messages in regards to updates in my case. The team never blew smoke. They were straight forward with the how and why in communications. Other words..Ms Allison and team...talked my ..language. Identification is very important!! The opposition felt they had a very strong case and often displayed those tactics. The oppositions' stand was ..No negotiations...unconditional surrender! The fears whether imagine or real can be unbearable. Ms Bishow was always poised, considerate and unwavering in meeting my goals. My attorney was able to uncover the underlying motives and bring out the exact nature of the truth. That being said, the relevant facts that are applicable in the laws of Florida were conveyed by Ms Bishow...elegantly!!! Despite the detours and dark twists during the course of the case and especially trial, she adjusted cause she knows what she is doing!! Never compromising or wavering from integrity or truth. This story has a happy ending but if it was adverse. I know in my heart.of heart, the law firm was my best shot. Thank God for a decent attorney especially this firm. You know for most its all about the money. If you have doubts about your 1st choice in attorney or are looking for an attorney that goes far above the call of duty. I strongly recommend this Firm!! Very good could be the enemy of the best.

All they want is money!! I dont understand those good reviews about Carmen Soto. She only contact you for money related otherwise she has her assistant working for her. Stay away from them. If you dont pay them all before the hearing they will withdraw and drop the case no matter what!!. It is not true the fact that you can pay in several payments They dont give a S about you as a client . Lourdes is very unprofessional and very rude. They wont fight for you aggressively enough and they will delay response to motions, or filing motions.
