What People Say About Us

Client Testimonials

“Going through a relationship breakup is extremely hard especially when there are children involved. Mary-Eileen of Carleton Law group quickly made me feel comfortable in making decisions that seemed daunting to me at the time. Her intuitive advice and logic saved us for having to go through the courts. I highly recommend Mary-Eileen and the team at Carleton Law Firm. “
Kim
“Following the divorce, it became evident that the sections of the order pertaining to custody and support would need to be adjusted after a cross-country move. I was apprehensive of initiating any proceedings with my children’s father, knowing it would be a high-conflict situation. After our first consultation, I knew I could count on Mary-Eileen to represent my children’s interests with a fair, reasonable and cooperative approach with resilience and determination. She and her team have been a blessing to my family throughout this process and I will forever be grateful for their expertise and friendship. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Carleton Law Group to anyone in need of expert representation.”
Cheryl
“We have had the pleasure of using the legal services of Carleton Law Group over the past few years for real estate transactions and we could not be more satisfied. We left the legal aspects of our transactions in their hands so we could focus on other elements of our endeavours, which in turn, reduced the stress commonly felt in these types of situations. Their legal knowledge, professional work ethic and organized approach were ever-present in our many interactions. On occasion, we needed quick action or some flexibility and their exceptional client service made it possible. We would not hesitate to recommend the Carleton Law Group to anyone for their legal service needs.”
