Lutz Parish Gerrish

I guess I could have saved myself some time if I read the Reviews prior to hiring Carley Parish to assist us. We showed up for a appointment with Carley to assist with a Probate Application. We waited several minutes and it was obvious she forgot about us. She arrived through the back door rushed us through the process and off we went. Didn't even take her jacket off lol. We were told 4 to 6 weeks to wait for it to return from Courts. I did a follow-up couple months in and was told still waiting at Courts to be reviewed and after 5 months I made a call and was told the approved paperwork was at their office for months and because of lack of Staff and miscommunication at the Courthouse our letter was misplaced. We asked Carley for a refund as it was simply her lack of organization and lack of Follow-up as to why we were delayed. Carley spoke to us in a way that made it seem like it was all our fault and took no ownership for her and her Staff lack of organization. She was unprofessional and down right Rude. Do your research on this one. She is not someone that is has the best interest of the client. We simply made a point to her that the Service we got was not acceptable and she got personal and in our opinion unprofessional. Rob T

Avoid this lawyer at all costs! I hired Carley three years ago to represent me in my divorce, and it was a frustrating experience from start to finish. We went to court multiple times, yet every court date felt like a wasted opportunity—filled with endless emails and phone calls that led nowhere. I provided her with all the necessary documents, yet it seemed she either misplaced them or simply failed to file them on time. To add to my frustration, she consistently forgot my name and called me by a different name, which felt disrespectful during such a crucial process. In one particularly distressing conversation, I shared that my children were terrified of returning to their father's home. Rather than offering helpful advice, she instructed me to keep the kids with me and suggested we file a motion later. For six long months, my children stayed with me, their father didn't even try to contact them! Then, out of the blue, Carley informed me that his lawyer was going to hold me in contempt for not returning them. I was beyond shocked—her advice had put me in this untenable position! As if that wasn't enough, we ended up back in court yet again, this time with demands for another Voice of the Child assessment and a parental assessment, which collectively cost around $15,000—on top of the $19,000 I had already paid her. I even had to take out a bank loan to cover her fees, while she still held funds in trust from the sale of our family home. To make matters worse, I soon received a collection notice for over $17,000, and I couldn't believe it—nothing substantial had been accomplished in my case. Her negligence and poor guidance made it increasingly difficult for me to qualify for legal aid. I never expected that seeking help would leave me feeling trapped and helpless. If you're looking to end your marriage or ensure your children's safety, do not hire Carley. She does not care and she certainly does not listen. Please, avoid this lawyer at all costs.

would absolutely not recommend Carley,Take your $ elsewhere. Nothing but the run around. Could'nt answer questions straight- waited for paperwork the day of court it was issued..was told a month later it wasn't ready- it was then provided to us from CPS date stamped for the day of court. She can't be trusted!
