Gibbs & Mabe

I recently used Carolyn Torres-​Mabe of Gibbs & Mabe as my divorce attorney and I give her my highest recommendation. Upon my initial consultation with Carolyn I explained my objectives and she was very supportive while at the same time giving me very practical advice on the best way to proceed. My goal was to avoid court and reach a settlement agreement. With Carolyn’s extensive experience in Dekalb County Family Law she was able to recommend an excellent mediator, which we used (per insistence from my soon to be ex-​wife) and give me advice on how the particular judge assigned to my case has typically handled matters in the past. In the end, we were able to reach a settlement agreement that was fair to both sides and was as a better final outcome than I was expecting. Carolyn was very creative in her suggestions, answered all of my questions thoroughly, and was always responsive to my inquiries in a timely manner. She worked closely with me to come up with a game plan that was comfortable to me. In regards to fees and attorneys, I firmly believe that you get what you pay for, and in her case, the fees were always reasonable and customary. She knew my financial situation was tight and I felt that she cared and didn’t ever try to un-​necessarily run up the bill on me. She routinely kept me updated on where we stood in regards to her hours and fees, which I greatly appreciated. For the results I received, I would describe her services as a solid value and worth every penny I paid. I also had the pleasure of meeting her partner, Jennifer Gibbs, and while Jennifer wasn’t involved much in my case, she was just as friendly and accommodating as Carolyn. Looks to me like they make a great team.
