Reviews - Part 2

"When I made the decision to file for divorce, I was very nervous and had absolutely no idea of what to expect. During my initial meeting with Carolyn Woodruff and Steve Coggin, I knew I had found the best possible firm to represent me. I immediately felt comfortable explaining my situation. From the beginning, the firm eased my concerns and lowered my stress level. They analyzed my situation and put together a sound strategy to achieve the best outcome for my divorce.

Words cannot describe how grateful I am to Carolyn and Steve. I never felt like my case was not a priority. Carolyn and her team were thorough and detailed oriented. I was updated every step of the way and always received a quick response to my emails and phone calls and my concerns were addressed clearly and compassionately.

I fully trusted that Carolyn always had my best interest throughout the entire process. She is extremely knowledgeable of current tax laws and their implications regarding my equitable distribution and the outcome of my settlement. Carolyn negotiated the best settlement for me and I avoided having to go through court hearings.

Woodruff Family Law firm treated me like family. They are sincere and trustworthy. My biggest priority was my children and how they were handling all of the changes that our family was having to deal with. It was so reassuring to know that I never had to worry about my case and I was able to give my children the attention and emotional support they needed during the difficult time.

I highly recommend Carolyn and her firm."

"Carolyn Woodruff was tenacious, knowledgeable, and thorough. She and her team helped me check my emotions at the door and handle this as a business transaction. Quite often I would have questions or need documents explained to me, and both Steve and Ben did a good job explaining things. The firm was welcoming, and the support staff were friendly, professional, and helpful."

"My experience with Woodruff Family Law Group was great. Everybody was very professional; they answered all my questions. Carolyn Woodruff is intelligent, smart, and knows how to handle people. I think one of her strengths is the education she has behind her."

"I spent weeks searching and interviewing attorneys in Greensboro and in all the surrounding areas looking for experienced go getter attorneys to handle my case. The firm took on my losing case against a behemoth of a DSS agency who think they can just do whatever they want to you and your family. After what I have personally seen they are capable of, and with my overall experience with this firm, I have absolutely no regrets in choosing the Woodruff Family Law Group professionals to handle my case.

From the very start, Carolyn Woodruff and her associates spent the necessary time to listen to me and my story to understand all of the underlying issues. The firm constantly kept me abreast and clearly explained to me all of the developments on my case. After they would explain, they would even ask for my personal input into how I would want the situation handled. Seeing an attorney that values your opinion and wishes as the client is an absolute delight as I have found from all my previous litigation experiences that this is highly unusual to see from most attorneys or firms.

On my case I also worked with multiple support staff, such as Amy Setzer, who was excellent and extremely pleasant to work with. She was methodical in her approach to taking on my extremely complicated and convoluted case where in the end she actually made it easy to understand and not so complicated.

Carolyn Woodruff is an extremely intelligent litigator and is a hard worker for her clients. I would definitely, without any reservations at all, fully recommend Carolyn, along with any of her other Juvenile & Domestic licensed attorneys, to anyone who is serious about protecting their family’s rights."

"When we met Jon Csuka, he went over everything for the prenup well and was very quick to get the document to us. He knows what he’s doing, and knew exactly what we were doing. He would follow up with me when I wasn’t responding and stayed on top of me, making sure we were getting everything done."

"On a five-star scale, I would rate my overall experience with Jon Csuka as a five. Jon was very good at explaining the various ways to look at an issue in a way that made me think more constructively about my case. He advocated for what I wanted and did a great job at getting me to see different aspects of my case and how they could potentially affect me in a way that I couldn’t have on my own. I would recommend Woodruff Family Law Group to someone else."

"Carolyn Woodruff is great, hands down. We felt Carolyn generally wanted us to win the case and her efforts reflected that. The creative thinking she demonstrated--looking at things from a different perspective-- is something we feel was crucial to our outcome.* We cannot begin to express the gratitude we have for the entire staff at Woodruff Family Law. We felt that our questions were answered in a reasonable time and, more importantly, we felt everyone we came in contact with were both skilled and knowledgeable. We know there are so many others at the office who played important roles in our case and we feel just as grateful to the unsung heroes as well. We know we were not their only case but we always felt like we were. We are Woodruff Family Law Group’s biggest fans."

"Love the atmosphere at Woodruff Family Law Group; Friendly, welcoming….I know one day I came at an odd time, and I was offered lunch, which was just very thoughtful. That initial meeting- I liked having Carolyn Woodruff and Steve Coggin both in there. Steve made a lot of eye contact with me and asked a lot of questions; Steve was engaged with me a little more, whereas Carolyn was studying-- she was really into what was in front of her. I think that was a wonderful balance with the two of them. Also, Carolyn looks into the facts of the case—beyond the emotion; she’s not out to just fight or just to win for wins sake. It’s about trying to do what is fair and that’s a good quality. I would recommend Woodruff Family Law Group, they were great."

"Carolyn Woodruff is very strong with the numbers and overall strategy. She has very good macro business valuation skills. She can also look forward to a likely final result. Carolyn was also good at pushing my matter forward. My matter was pretty complex...She knows what is important and what are meaningless diversions. Carolyn advocated as hard as she could for me but always told me privately what was realistic. Steve Coggin is also good with numbers, but he is better at reminding clients not to sweat the small stuff and keep focused on the end result."

"I thought Jon Csuka was very understanding. He was definitely reassuring, but without making any guarantees or promises, that he couldn’t necessarily keep, you know. When I first walked into Jon’s office, I was pretty much like…lost, you know, I didn’t know what to do. I was in a tough situation and just wanted to keep my kids safe. I got a lot of good advice and ultimately got the result that I wanted."

"Carolyn Woodruff was very professional and very helpful, since this is my first time having to do anything like this, she put me at ease. What I liked the MOST about this is she told me what to expect, what could happen and then we went through the options. I opted for one of them, and she suggested we ought to think about it a little. We talked some more and I went with the option she suggested and that’s the one that worked the best. She was very helpful. Carolyn was very pleasant and put my wife and myself at ease the very first time we talked to her."

"I liked Jon Csuka’s candor, intuition, and overall knowledge of the court system. He was strong with communication, particularly in following up. Also, I appreciated his willingness to be flexible. Jon knew that I was on a time crunch, and made sure to have a quick turnaround; his timeliness was spot on. He strategized to minimize the negative effects of my situation and absolutely advocated for me. Jon was fantastic."

"My unique set of needs and circumstances were very well addressed by Carolyn Woodruff. Her knowledge of multiple facets of the law, including family, business, and tax law, made it obvious that she has been in this market for a very long time. The entire staff of Woodruff Family Law Group is extremely nice. Despite their dealings in a not real happy business, they did a good job of trying to make clients feel at ease and comfortable."

"Carolyn Woodruff is both brilliant and tenacious. Her background in finance and accounting is all-together amazing. Especially when in combination with the experience of Steve Coggin, one of the firm’s paralegals, Carolyn made sure the whole picture was brought to light. I never doubted her ability to stand her ground and remain in control; she had my back and went above & beyond to keep my best interest at heart. Considering the circumstances, my time with Woodruff Family Law Group was the best experience I could have hoped for; they helped me to stay sane."

"Both Carolyn Woodruff and Steve Coggin were about their business; we love that about them. Carolyn’s wisdom (it’s more than just knowledge) of the law was a big comfort to us. Steve, similarly, was laid back and gave valuable guidance. We appreciate the attention to detail given to the case and were reassured that the firm was there for us. There was one incident regarding an emergency with one of the children, and I was directed to get a form to my attorney. I waited at Woodruff Family Law Group for them to open, and was greeted by one of the staff. They ushered us in and offered us a room and beverages until Carolyn arrived. Everyone is friendly, and the firm is comfortable. In the future, I would refer people to the firm."

"The value for my money Is one of the reasons I came back to Woodruff Family Law Group. My experience far exceeded my expectations. Working with Jon Csuka, in particular, was great. He was consistent in both attitude and approach, as well as professional and thorough, with great attention to detail. He was always fair, something he maintained when negotiating with the opposing counsel. I was always contacted right away with any critical information and was included in the decision-making process. When making recommendations to others, Woodruff is always the first name out of my mouth, and Jon is the guy I tell them to contact."

"In family law, it is pretty important to understand not only the law, but also people. Jonathan Csuka has this experience. He understands what motivates people and the type of thinking behind a person’s decisions and requests. Whether it was through phone, email, or in-person, Jon was easy to communicate with and explained things well. He ensured I felt prepared before going into mediations, which helped me to adjust my expectations and feel more at ease. Jon is hard-working and good at what he does. I have recommended friends to contact the firm."

"I chose Woodruff Family Law Group for both their good online reviews and readily available appointments. Ultimately, I’m glad I did; despite my circumstance of dealing with a child custody case, I had a pleasant experience. Each time I came into the firm, I felt as though the staff was ready for me. I was greeted politely, sat in a family-friendly room, and was treated in a professional and courteous manner. My attorney, Jonathan Csuka, knew the law, was ethical, and did not tell me just what I wanted to hear. As alarming as some of the details seemed to be at the time, I always appreciated his candid approach and efforts to find new solutions. Jon’s assistant attorney, was caring and empathetic. He was very responsive to my needs and communicated with me in an excellent manner."

"To me, it is important to have an attorney who is knowledgeable and knows what they’re talking about; Jonathan Csuka never failed this standard. I knew the degree of Jon’s expertise from day one when he did not have to "get back to me" about any of my questions; he knew right away. All of my needs were met, and I felt supported. Even when it came to billing, the business manager, Stephanie Griffin, always responded to my questions promptly and was patient. I stand by the idea that you get what you pay for, and that is mirrored in the value of my experience with Woodruff Family Law Group."

"Our case involved custody, and it was complicated. We did considerable research in determining what North Carolina law firm might be best. We needed to protect our grandchild and our daughter.

She listens well, is smart, and runs a law firm full of support and hospitality."

"I had a great experience working with Woodruff Family Law Group and would recommend them wholly. Despite having a case that seemed to have no resolution in sight, Carolyn Woodruff was able to resolve my case in four months*. In Carolyn’s words "we are going to bring it home for you." And she did. The hospitality of the firm, in general, is great; I am always greeted by name and attended to promptly. Carolyn Woodruff’s evident ability to communicate with both her clients and other attorneys makes me confident that she will get something done when she says it will be."
