“There is not enough positive that I can say about the Rankin Law Firm. At a time in my life when I felt everything was falling apart, Carla and her staff helped to pull me through a grueling, 2 years long divorce. Carla is compassionate, honest, hard working, and cares about her clients. This firm became more like family than anything else. She helped me navigate a difficult circumstance and honestly was the reason I could find resolve and resilience in the end. My children and I are forever grateful to Carla. I had no idea how I would make it to the other side, but Carla’s insight and honest approach helped me see there was a path forward and that my infant daughter needed to be safe. She helped me stay in the fight to keep my baby safe, even through an often unfair system. She helped set realistic expectations. By far one of the toughest litigators around. I truly owe my life to Carla and her amazing team and I could never imagine using anyone else to represent me, because with this group I always knew we mattered and she would get results.”
