AGGRESSIVE = RESULTS

My specific legal needs (family law/divorce) required aggressive well-organized representation. The marriage was long and invested with children involved. My divorce required a tough attorney. Karen Connolly listened to my case, advised me of my rights, clearly outlined her expectations, and worke...d diligently on my behalf to achieve the appropriate results. She leads a great legal team that will keep you on track and ready for court (if necessary). My situation called for a tough, but compassionate lawyer-client relationship. An attorney should work on your behalf and best interest; Ms. Connolly will do just this. I would highly recommend her services and will use her for future needs. Angela C.

Very Pleased with Ms. Connolly

I am so glad I made the decision to fire my previous attorney and enlist the representation of Karen. I am confident in stating without her by my side, I would not have fully be capable of protecting my family and standing up for what was true and fair. I definitely recommend Ms. Connolly and would... hire her again if the need ever arises.

High regard

I have used Karen Connolly for years. She is an excellent lawyer. She is forthright--with the good and the bad, which is what I wanted. You need to hear the strengths and weaknesses of your case before you go in. You do not always get what you want in divorce or custody court. She was real...istic and spot on. Her staff are professional and courteous. Lawyers are not cheap, I knew that going in.

Unbeatable

It is not difficult to describe this attorney. She is unbeatable. Her knowledge, work ethic, and aggressiveness make her beyond exceptional. In the courtroom, Karen is always prepared for anything. She knows what she is fighting for and is relentless in attaining it. Karen Connolly has been my att...orney for 3 years. Karen has represented my family in criminal, family, and appeal cases. These cases have ranged from child abuse, alimony, child support, to various appeals. Karen has faced an array of lawyers and not one has competed with her knowledge, experience, or aggressiveness. She has been victorious in each and every event. I cannot express the calmness the client feels just sitting next to this lawyer. Ms. Connolly is a very honest and competent attorney. She will tell a client when and what to fight for, but will not mislead you. She knows what issues to push for and when to hold back. If you want an attorney to hold your hand and tell you what you want to hear, then you want to avoid retaining Ms. Connolly. If you want an attorney who is going to fight, or even better, win, then retain Karen. The quality that makes Karen unstoppable is that she is educated in so many aspects of law. As I stated, she has represented my family in an array of cases. I have had several lawyers involved with my family’s situation, and all lawyers, referred me back to Karen. You cannot beat her services with cost nor quality. Ms. Connolly gets it done. I know that my family would be looking at a much different picture if I had not come into contact with Karen Connolly. This is a debt that I will never be able to repay.

Best of the Bests

If you would like the best representation possible she is your women. I have read other reviews and it strikes me that they are mixed -her fault, if indeed it is one is that she tells the truth, a rare quality in a lawyer. So if you want a lawyer to tell you what you want to hear and waste your mo...ney do not choose Ms Connolly. On the other hand if you want someone fighting your corner she is the one
