Recognized in Best Lawyers since 2024
Brenda Nelson
Navigating my high-conflict divorce felt overwhelming, but Carolyn Abbate was the steady, expert hand I desperately needed. While her recent recognition by Best Lawyers in Family Law speaks to her professional standing, what truly impressed me was her practical, client-centered approach from our very first meeting. She took the time to explain the nuances of Virginia law clearly, demystifying a complex process. Her strategic advice was always grounded in reality, focusing on achieving a fair settlement while protecting my relationship with my children. Despite her relatively recent start in practice, her command of the details and her calm, persistent advocacy in negotiations were exceptional. She anticipated opposing counsel's moves and prepared meticulously, which resulted in a far more favorable outcome than I had dared hope for. I felt genuinely heard and supported throughout. For anyone in the Arlington area facing family legal matters, I cannot recommend Carolyn highly enough.
