Best Attorney Ever!!!

Kara is an extremely knowledgeable attorney as well as a true professional who clearly understands her client’s needs. Not only did she consistently advocate for me, but she was always available either by phone or email to answer any questions that I had. She clearly communicated the situation throug...hout the entire process. I highly recommend Kara as she is effective, highly knowledgeable, works extremely hard and not only makes time for me to ask questions and but answers them clearly so I understand. I personally recommend Kara to all my friends and family as she is also very trustworthy. Kara is the Best!!! Ryan Faenza Cataldo -- Thank you for everything!!!

Very Happy Client

Kara represented me in my divorce. It was a fairly long, drawn out case (~2 years) due to my ex's lawyer who was unreasonable, unethical and wanted to drag it on and on to increase fees. Kara was honest, hard working, professional and above-board every step of the way. We prepared for trial, but also... drafted a great settlement. And in the end, I am delighted to report that we left the courthouse with OUR executed settlement. A settlement that has all of the legal protections I need for myself and my child through their emancipation. I got more custody and a very fair and equitable financial agreement that benefits my child. When you're talking about the next 15 years, do you really want to settle for less and end up back in court fighting over a poorly written agreement? Or an agreement missing important terms and milestones? I sleep soundly knowing my rights and my child's rights, are protected by my iron-clad agreement up through college and emancipation! Thanks Kara!

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
