"With ingenuity and assiduity, Ms Carvallo was able to optimize the stages of an American proceedings before the courts of NY, and to have a French court order domesticated in the United States. As a consequence, the defendant renounced appealing the order and paid the entire claim with accumulated interests. Icing on the cake, Ms Carvallo was able to get the defendant to cover my legal fees and get an advisement from the Grievance Committee. A long obstacle course, along which her reactivity and attentiveness were main assets".
