On the main themes I see here...
- Competent? Huge checkmark.
- Compassionate? For me, yes.
- Responsive? Always.
Georgina represented me through a case that saw us in court several times and eventually into mediation / arbitration. Subsequent events had us back in the arbitration process. I stuck with Georgina every step of the way and am so glad I did.
Georgina was my rock. She kept me on the high ground and in hindsight this was very important. It required me to trust her along the way and I am so glad I did. I can look back on a difficult process with pride.
When the dust settled, the outcome was one that was positively life changing - for me and my children.
Perhaps the best thing I can say is that I have recommended Georgina to others that are important to me. family law is a difficult process - if for no other reason than it is extremely emotional and important for both sides.
If I had to do it all over again I wouldn't want to team up with anyone else.

Georgina is amazing, the perfect combination of kind and understanding with incredible knowledge of family law and great instincts. She was a great listener and a true supporter during this difficult and tumultuous time.

Georgina and her team where an incredible support during a very difficult and stressful time in my life. The professionalism, strong work ethic and timely turn around time consistently combined with Georgina's tenaciousness, on point strategies, and vast knowledge/experience provided me with not only the emotional support, but most importantly the end result I needed financially. Georgina is not only an incredible lawyer, but she is compassionate, patient, understanding individual who ultimately cares for her clients. I highly recommend Georgina Carson and her team.

Georgina and her team provided not only a high caliber of professionalism but an empathetic one as well. This was an extremely difficult time for me as it is for most and Georgina and her team did an outstanding job in negotiating a final resolution while maintaining true empathy, sincerity and transparency. Honest and trustworthy attorneys who truly cared about me, my family and the final outcome. I highly recommend Georgina Carson and her team members

Stay away - stay far away! You will pay excessive amounts for this lawyer who will spend all your money preparing to go to court and then try to get you to settle on the other sides terms. She always seemed too scared to go to court.

I have known Georgina Carson for over 20 years, having worked with her as a student and then as a young lawyer. She is knowledgeable, tenacious and compassionate and I have recommended her to friends and acquaintances who have needed a family lawyer. Without exception, they have been happy with her as a lawyer and felt well-represented. If I ever had the misfortune to need a family lawyer, I would hire Georgina without hesitation.

Carson seems sensible and solid, but process confusion is a real issue in this firm and they are not well organized. They might as well install a turnstile in the lobby - 'churn and burn' is the feeling there. They are best avoided unless you want to waste time chasing them or parsing inflated invoices which you don't trust owing to what can be their evident sloppiness.

Georgina provided excellent service and advice. She made a point of knowing the file well and understanding what was best for my kids. We were successful at every stage, including involving the Office of the Children's Lawyer, and this led to a custody arrangement which has worked out great for everyone. We avoided trial through some difficult negotiations, and had a fair settlement on financial issues. We now have an excellent framework going forward and things are much better with my ex-spouse and the kids. Georgina's firm was also very fair and understanding with billing practices which was much appreciated. I highly recommend Georgina.

Georgina Carson is an exceptional family lawyer, she handled my divorce with the greatest of integrity and grace. I highly recommend her to anyone seeking out a top notch family lawyer. If it wasn't for Georgina I don't know how my life would have turned out, she made it her mission to ensure that I was protected both financially and emotionally, in many ways she was my guardian angel, I will forever be grateful to her.

Divorce is a terrible time for all concerned-the lengthy process to make the decision to end a marriage, and then the rollercoaster ride known as family law. In Georgina Carson,I have always felt that I found a lawyer who was both compassionate and understanding, in addition to the obvious-an excellent, highly competent professional. Throughout this very stressful time, I have never had a question that she was always working with my best interests at heart, while making sure that I clearly understood the reality of the benefits and the limitations of any kind of action. She has been a very patient advisor to someone who knew next to nothing about the legal system. At each step Georgina was careful to remind me of the big picture and insure that I didn't get caught in a situation where I "won the battle but lost the war".
Georgina's suggestion of mediation rather than court was both cost effective and successful. The entire process was less than 2 years, and I am very grateful to her.

Requiring a divorce lawyer is not something any of us wish for. But when you're in that circumstance, finding a divorce lawyer who is deeply knowledgeable, widely respected, genuinely compassionate and caring - but also a tireless tiger when it comes to advocating for her client and fighting for what's right - well, that's a wish answered. I have known Georgina to respond within MINUTES to a request for help in a genuine emergency. I would and have recommended her to others.

Georgina Carson is a very effective lawyer. She and her team at MacDonal Partners are completely professional. She is knowledgeable in the area of family law and her communication is very clear. Her demeanour is calm and comforting but she can be tough as nails when she needs to be. On several occasions she suggested tactics for minimizing my costs in the face of escalation tactics from the opposing counsel. I was completely satisfied with the representation I received from Ms. Carson and would highly recommend her services.

Although claims to subscribe to the collaborative approach, is more interested in going to trial than acting in the best interest of her client. Interesting to read previous postings both involved cases that lasted five years. Has difficulty reading and understanding straightforward financial statements. Misinterprets facts. Cites non-applicable precedent routinely. Very adept at promoting and maintaing a fight, that is, until the funds run out. A dangerous practitioner in a loosely controled profession.

Poor value. Too much jumbled communication. I do not recommend her law firm MacDonald and Partners. Maybe it will be good for you, but I don't like wasting my time - very poor tenacity.

Georgina Carson is beyond reproach both in her professional, and personal, life. She has been representing my family for over five years in a difficult, precedent setting case. During that time she has proven herself over and over again as a fierce proponent. Georgina is above reproach on any level. Her abilities are phenomenal, her knowledge impressive, her demeanor absolutely professional, and her caring supportive focus on we her clients was, and is, second to none. We credit Georgina with keeping us sane, focused, and confident. She is a wonderful person, and if you ever require the best representation possible in the Court of Family Law, you need look no further than Georgina Carson. We eventually prevailed in our case simply because of Georgina Carson. Court orders in our decision are ongoing, and Georgina is still right by our side. Persons, or person, attempting to discredit Georgina simply have no basis in fact. She is the absolute best.

My court experience was a battle that took more than 5 years, thanks to the repeated, vexatious actions of my ex, who went through more than 3 sets of lawyers, was self-represented for long periods, refused to discuss settlement and took his bad behaviour so far that he was arrested and criminally charged for his terrifying actions against me. It was absolutely horrific and through it all, Georgina stood by me, even when she was personally threatened by him! She helped me believe that the truth would prevail. The truth and justice did indeed prevail and though he then dragged us through the Court of Appeals, my decision was upheld. I have wondered many times what I would have done if I did not have such a smart, caring, sensitive and compassionate lawyer! Georgina is wonderful and cares about people far beyond just the facts in a case. I will be forever grateful that she was recommended to me and can wholeheartedly recommend her to you!

Ms. Carson is very compassionate, patient, smart, thorough, detail-oriented and her depth of experience shows every step of the way. I am certain that I am in very good hands and never worry or wonder about advice I am receiving.
