Raised in both Detroit and Mexico City, Carly brings a multicultural perspective and bilingual fluency to her practice, allowing her to connect with clients from all walks of life with respect, understanding, and clear communication. She represents individuals facing criminal charges across Metro Detroit in both state and federal courts, offering personalized, attentive legal representation at every stage of the process.

Clients turn to Carly because they trust her honesty, dedication, and no-nonsense approach. She tells the truth—even when it’s difficult—so clients always know where they stand and can make confident, informed decisions. Carly is known for her responsiveness, attention to detail, and relentless work ethic. She treats every case with care and determination, never losing sight of what’s at stake for the people she represents.

Carly holds a law degree and Master of Business Administration from the University of Detroit Mercy, where she earned recognition for academic excellence, and a bachelor’s degree in Political Science and Spanish from Wayne State University. Before becoming an attorney, she gained valuable experience across multiple areas of law—including criminal defense, immigration, family law, personal injury, and foreclosure law—building a broad foundation that strengthens her practice today.

Carly believes that every client deserves an advocate who will fight for them with skill, integrity, and dedication. She is committed to making sure her clients feel heard, respected, and empowered throughout their legal journey.
