Carlia S. Waite: The Empathetic Advocate With Sixth Sense for Truth
Carlia S. Waite, Managing Partner at Gastelum Attorneys, is unique in the family law scene for her almost twenty years of experience, relentless dedication to justice, and great sensitivity. Licensed in Nevada and Missouri, Carlia has experience in all aspects of domestic affairs, from guardianship to divorce to adoption to paternity issues. Her will to serve her clients with extraordinary ability and understanding is shown by her dedication to become a Certified Family Law Specialist.
Starting her career as a social worker in Kansas City, Missouri, Carlia initially came across the difficult legal obstacles her clients confronted. Driven to assist outside her purview, she started her path into family law by working on a law degree at the William S. Boyd School of Law in Nevada. Her knowledge goes beyond mere legal acumen to include her special “Sixth Sense” for truth—a legal superpower she evolved over years of listening, campaigning, and direct family work.
The Sixth Sense of Truth for Family Law
Carlia’s legal superpower, “The Sixth Sense for Truth,” is her remarkable sensitivity to minute emotional signals and secret facts others might pass over. Carlia’s sense enables her to negotiate difficult family dynamics, sensing deeper layers of truth that might be hidden in the emotionally charged environment of family conflicts. Born from her years as a Guardian ad Litem in Missouri and polished through her specialized training in mediation and collaborative law.
In an area where emotions can distort reality, Carlia’s Sixth Sense enables her to separate manipulative strategies from sincere ones. She uses this ability to defend the rights of her clients, particularly in situations involving children where her advocacy reaches a higher degree of caring. Her special capacity to precisely negotiate family dynamics and “see through” legal arguments lets her create plans that meet her clients’ emotional as well as legal needs.
From Compassionate Social Worker to Formidable Legal Advocate
Carlia’s background in social work and combined legal training define her sympathetic but forceful attitude to family law. She studied psychology and criminal justice for her bachelor’s degree, then Missouri State
University for her master’s degree in social work. These disciplines let Carlia balance the roles of advocate and adviser and provide a whole view to any situation.
