Stephen P. Karns’s Peer Endorsements

I first met Steve while I was serving as a prosecutor at Parris Island, SC around 8 years ago. He was the opposing counsel on a matter and served his client superbly. Now that I am a fellow Dallas attorney I am proud to call him a fellow defender of our men and women in uniform. And hope to never find myself on the opposite side of the aisle from Steve again!

Steve and I worked together on many cases. He is the epitome' of a team player and competent/ethical lawyer. Too often in military cases, rifts form between military and civilian counsel during representation. Steve does not let this happen. He firmly believes that every servicemember deserves a team of professionals to work together for a great result, and he works to make the civilian/military team operate at the highest level. He is a leader and zealous advocate. Any client who hires this lawyer is extremely fortunate.
