    • I recommend Karen Dawson.

    • Karen handled my Trusts matter.

    Ms. Dawson was extremely helpful to me in sorting through the details of my late husband's trust and establishing it as a viable legal entity. She assisted me in defining what I needed to address in my own living trust, how best to structure that and in building the necessary legal documents. Her guidance, skill and follow-through were very helpful -- guiding me through processes which I could not undertake on my own but which were clearly needed and benefited from her compassionate but knowledgeable direction.

    • I hired Karen 1-3 years ago.
    • Karen handled my Estate Planning matter.
    • I have previously worked with no lawyers.

    My wife and I had used computer programs to do our wills before, but thought it was time to have a lawyer help us update it. Great decision. Karen helped us reorganize our finances and had us add components to our plan that we had never thought of including before. Now we have a plan to last for a long time.

    • I recommend Karen Dawson.
    • I hired Karen more than 3 years ago.
    • Karen handled my Estate Planning matter.
    • I have previously worked with 3-5 lawyers.

    My husband and I are very happy to highly recommend Karen B. Dawson. Karen is professional, knowledgeable, detail-oriented, creative and personable -- but, best of all -- she is very accessible. We contacted her while living and working outside of the U.S. She kindly kept a flexible schedule to accommodate our brief visits home and during every meeting she patiently made sure that we understood well the process, step-by-step. She worked hard to incorporate every lighthearted detail we wanted in the creation of our estate plan, which we playfully called The Goal: Zero Balance trust.

    Once completed, Karen provided us a beautiful (and seriously comprehensive) estate planning portfolio that includes everything we need to be confident that our financial matters are in terrific order.

    Karen has definitely earned our complete confidence and we feel lucky to have found her!
