Managing Partner

Carla S. Rankin

    In a perfect world, all divorces would be settled without the need for any court hearings. While I prefer mediation and agreed orders, when the necessity of court arises, I am a tough litigator who will advocate for you.  I will put in the time, do the research, and be your voice in the courtroom.  I tell all of my clients, "Get over yourself and worry about your kids".

    While some of my clients have nicknamed me "shark" and "viper", I am compassionate and will represent you to the best of my abilities. My goal is to get the resolution you are seeking with honest and reasonable expectations.  I will not sugarcoat anything and am always straightforward with my clients on any hurdles in cases.

    I do not nickel and dime my clients. I know that as the more money you and your spouse spend on lawyers, the less that goes to your children.  As a single mom, and widow, I understand that completely.
