  • JAMES DUANE AWARD

    Carmen was one of three mediators honored by receiving the James Duane Award on behalf of the 220 member Mediation Panel of the United States District Court, Southern District of New York on November 19, 2024. In selecting Carmen, the District Court highlighted her mediation of a very contentious cross-border dispute conducted entirely in Spanish with pro se litigants on both sides.

    James Duane was the first judge to sit in the Southern District of New York. He was appointed by George Washington.

  • "I could never have gotten through my very contentious and difficult divorce without Carmen's guidance and support. She is incredibly smart and knowledgeable, and really helped us understand the ins and outs of the complicated legal process, from parenting schedules to finances. Her calm, level-headed approach allowed my husband and I to ultimately reach a fair agreement, without compromising the needs of myself and our two children."

    “When you have kids, even a "simple" divorce requires difficult choices about your family and finances. I'm so grateful that, as I navigated my collaborative divorce, I retained Carmen as a consulting attorney. She was deeply knowledgeable about the mediation and divorce process, helped me understand what to expect, was an invaluable sounding board as I worked through some unexpected issues, and struck the perfect balance between keeping things moving toward an amicable resolution and knowing when to push to protect my interests. I recommend her without reservation to anyone in need of an attorney or mediator at this pivotal moment in their life.” client D.N.
