Excellent!!

Karen helped me through one of the most difficult experiences of my life. Karen was supportive, compassionate, professional and empathetic. She was always easily reachable by email or phone. She took the time to explain the process, understand my options, and guide me along the way. I have no hes...itation on recommending Karen as an attorney.

I found Attorney Walker to be attentive, patient, thoughtful and a good listener. She advised me of my options and let me decide.....She was emphatic throughout the proceedings...... A good attorney.....

Outstanding!

A true professional, knowledgeable, courteous and very patient. Karen guided me through the divorce process in clear and concise language, taking the time to explain any legal processes and terms that I did not understand (and there were many) and made an otherwise stressful situation very smooth. ... As a newcomer to the legal system, she guided me from beginning to end. Her mediation expertise and sound advice assured me I had made the right choice hiring her.

Excellent!

I found Karen to be thoughtful, smart, willing to make the process as least adversarial as possible. However, she never hesitated to speak up in her calm manner to right a wrong. She had great communication skills and was skilled in legal matters yet able to be empathic. I can't recommend her eno...ugh!

Mediation

Although it was a very difficult time, Karen helped make it easier by keeping both my ex-husband and myself focused on the bigger picture. She was responsive and thorough during each mediation session and I feel the process was private and much easier than what a court battle would have been.

Family lawyer | Apr 19

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"Karen is an excellent attorney. She works hard for her clients, is realistic in the advice she provides, and does not rack up attorney bills unnecessarily. When she can, she works with opposing counsel to settle cases. However, when other attorneys are unwilling to negotiate with her, she strongly advocates for her clients in court."

Mediation lawyer | Oct 26

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"Karen is skilled in probate and family law, and provides excellent legal services. Karen cares about her cases and her clients, making sure that they reach the best possible outcome. As a mediator, she provides her clients with superb advice, while helping them to reach a resolution through mediation, therefore taking control of their own destiny in divorcing. I strongly recommend Karen, if you are seeking a mediator or family law attorney."

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"Karen and I were opposing counsel on a highly contested divorce matter. She was tough for her client when necessary, and she brought a much needed sense of reasonableness to the table, along with intelligence and sensibility that helped us to come to settlement."
