About the Firm

Caryl Jacobs Gabe is not just another lawyer. After 27 years of practicing family law, she knows just how difficult it is for a non-attorney to be facing legal problems, and she will do everything possible to make this less formidable for you and your loved ones. For Ms. Gabe and her support staff, the client always comes first-and no case is too small. We are always available to talk with you about legal difficulties. We are flexible in meeting with you at a time and place that are convenient for you.

We are well aware that legal problems involve financial as well as emotional issues that dramatically affect people's lives. All legal matters are stressful, frustrating, and intimidating for anyone who is drawn into legal conflicts, whether as a party or as a witness. You not only need an experienced and skillful attorney to represent you throughout that process, you should have someone you are comfortable with and can trust.

Caryl Jacobs Gabe is that someone. Her professional experience and expertise have given her the compassion and empathy necessary to be genuinely concerned about the welfare of her clients, and to develop a special rapport with each of them. You will not be just one of many clients of the law firm; rather, we consider you to be the unique individuals that you are, and treat you as such:

We strive to nurture a personal relationship with all of our clients by providing personal attention to each one. You can be assured that we will be there when you need us; you won't have to worry about being screened by a receptionist. When you engage our services, you will be able to place your full trust and confidence in us. We will do everything necessary to keep you informed and knowledgeable about your particular legal problem. That means that we stress personal attention, responsiveness, and accessibility:

• We listen to you.
• We return your phone calls promptly-whenever possible, by the end of that same day.
• We regularly report to you on the status and progress of your case.
• We help you make decisions that resolve your case fairly, expeditiously, and cost- effectively.

We realize that most problems involve a great deal of acrimony and tension. Our clients have the assurance and relief that their legal matter is being handled with their interests in mind. Often, the best approach to legal dispute is to negotiate a fair settlement without going to court whenever possible. You can rest assured, however, that if a trial cannot be avoided, Ms. Gabe will be an aggressive courtroom advocate for your rights and your interests.

In short, it is our core commitment to focus on each client's individual background, needs, and goals. We can only do it together, as a team.
