I hired Carolyn Dahlberg to represent me in a traffic violation. I was extremely happy with the representation. Carolyn thoroughly questioned me about the incident, researched on her end the possible repercussions, then presented me with a couple choices as well as her recommendation. By the time we had the court appointment she had already met with both the officer as well as the public prosecutor and my case was agreed upon beforehand. We still had to go in front of the judge. Carolyn explained what was agreed upon to the judge, who accepted me going to driving school in return for dropping the charges. This probably saved be thousands over time in insurance payments.

DO NOT GO TO CAROLYN DAHLBERG FOR A CONTESTED DIVORCE! She DOES NOT KNOW what she is doing. With only seven years with the VA State Bar, she does not have the acumen to contest your case. I talked to the partner of Woehle, Dahlberg, Jones, etc Marcel Jones who recommended me to Carolyn Dahlberg, and he states that it is a lesson learned and he will continue to learn from my case.
Her Dad, William Thomas Woehle, came to Essex County, VA Circuit Court on 10/8/18 to testify on her behalf during a forensic examination motion. It was NEVER agreed that he should do that. Along with Carolyn Dahlberg's attorney fees for appearance in court for her Dad's arguments during this motion hearing (she never argued in court as my attorney during this forensic examination hearing), I was also charged an extra $1000 when I was ambushed that her Dad was counsel on record in court to argue a motion that Carolyn Dahlberg should have been arguing. It is called bait and switch in business terms and that is illegal. Immediately she addressed the issue and she stated that "I'm so sorry, that was such a mistake." Even charged me their 18 percent monthly interest rate along with it. Daddy=Woehle (Owner of their five, maybe six now, law firms) Daughter= Carolyn Dahlberg.

I could not even get a straight answer from her when I questioned her about her arguments in my divorce. She "hemmed and hawed" in her response so I immediately acknowledged the fact that we were not prepared. The worst part is that my divorce case never went to trial after paying her $29,000 from my lifelong retirement funds. She always expresses to you that she has 3 kids to feed and she needs more money to represent you. Such sadness that an attorney does not have the experience to be your divorce attorney. When I had important questions for her, she would always ask me for more money to get my divorce to trial (when I no longer had the money to get my case to trial after the $29,000 plus the 18% monthly interest when I would not pay her Dad's fees), she withdrew as my attorney. What a shame since I asked her from the very beginning when she had been retained, to argue for my court order spousal support that I have not been paid for 3.5 years. A LAWYER SHOULD FIGHT FOR THEIR CLIENT IF THEY KNOW WHAT THEIR CLIENT HAS ACTUALLY GONE THROUGH IN AN ADULTERY/ ABANDONMENT DIVORCE CASE. THIS HAS TO DO WITH AN ATTORNEY'S EXPERIENCE AS A FAMILY LAW / DIVORCE ATTORNEY. Because of her saying she knows what she is doing in a contested divorce case, I am now indigent to pursue my divorce anymore (she was my attorney for 2 years). I am 100 % certain I am her first client in a contested divorce case. If you can learn from my experience, ask upfront how much experience they have fighting for your cause ESPECIALLY in a contested divorce. She should have known from the very beginning what needed to be done. Shame on you Marcel Jones.

Shame on you Marcel Jones for recommending me to Carolyn Dahlberg.
I wish that there is an organization to help persons get the relief they need in a divorce without being taking advantage of. Any suggestions would be very much appreciated to help me get my divorce case to trial, because I have no more funds anymore to reach that goal due to Carolyn Dahlberg lack of legal expertise to represent me in a divorce matter.

Sadly, the law firm will only respond to the positive reviews online, not the negative ones.

I am a hard working individual, always had a job since I was 15 years old. To be taken advantage of is SO DESPICABLE, and it gives family law attorneys a bad reputation (unfortunately they are out there without recourse against them, and will gladly charge you extra if you do not review your billing statements). CAROLYN DAHLBERG will even post your email address publicly when reserved in an attorney-client relationship and without the client's consent (and unethical in Virginia State Bar's standards)

This is a true statement and this is my Freedom of Speech right to post as a google review.

The attorneys at Woehrle Dahlberg and Jones understand how to apply the law to achieve effective results for their clients. You can trust the team to keep the client first.

Mr. Marcel Jones is a top notch attorney — smart, personable and gets results. This is the firm you want working for you!

Attorney Marcel Jones is very professional, knowledgeable and trustworthy. He has helped my family and I every step of the way. I highly recommend this law firm.

Marcel is one the best ans honest lawyers out there!! You will be satisfied choosing him!
