Karen M. Buckley

YOU NEED ATTORNEY KAREN M. BUCKLEY IN YOUR CORNER...... Karen is a professional straight shooter, with a real steady plan. Attorney Buckley continually advised me to treat my high conflict divorce as a business deal, and to keep any emotional feelings out- Karen also stressed to me to be sure that the issue(s) I was fighting for were worth the value of her pay rate. Additionally, Karen is a great listener, very savvy with math, and she is very well organized. Karen helped me deal with a very high conflict divorce. A divorce that went from collaborative to litigation. This divorce involved children, a parenting plan, affidavits, an emergency hearing, DCF, GAL, division of marital property/ assets, and now a PC. To say working on all the above mentioned is overwhelming is an understatement! One quality that impressed me the most about Karen was that she had the perfect balance of knowing when, where, and why to add any information. Whilst my ex- husbands atty. was constantly mud slinging- Attorney Buckley maintained her balance. Attorney Buckley's delivery in front of the judge (and she was there many, times) was always awesome! Karen's physical presence, delivery, intonation, and voice quality were all sharp and professional--From what I witnessed in the court room- this is HUGE! Let's stop stereotyping lawyers; Attorney KAREN M. BUCKLEY is trustworthy, and works FOR you; not just for your money. ### SLC

Karen Buckley handled my divorce. She was recommended by a coworker who had commented on her being able to handle the "bully" her ex had hired. My ex didn't hire a bully, but the vast income difference between the two of us, made me want to get someone on board who would look out for my interests without making excuses. After months of mediation, it became clear that I needed that. Karen was patient, clear, straightforward, laid out things how she saw them but always asked and respected my input, was available for any kinds of questions, and in the end, I think we got a fair divorce, if there is such a thing. I highly recommend her. Karen was also able to connect me with a good financial adviser and gave advice about other services connected with starting a new single life after a long marriage. What helped me, and this is probably not something that would help everyone, is that she had a good working relationship with my ex's lawyer. It kept the process civil, which was important to me.

Karen was my attorney for a contested modification to Alimony. I met with 5 attorneys before selecting Karen. From our first conversation she was able to cut through the noise and emotion and focus on the facts and the law. She came up with creative, practical solutions throughout the process. Opposing counsel wasted a lot of time, tried to draw us in to emotional reactions and generally behaved unreasonably. Karen did not take the bait, she stayed even-keeled, talked me off the ledge a few times and focused on the facts and the details. She is very detail-oriented particularly on the financials which turned out to be extremely valuable for the solution we ended up with. We were able to come to a settlement out of Court and avoid costly litigation thanks to Karen's diligent and focused approach. She used her time (and my money) very wisely and efficiently. I highly recommend engaging Karen without any hesitation. I am a recovering attorney and am super impressed by the work she did and the way she did it. I feel fortunate to have had her as my counselor and guide in this matter.

Karen knows her stuff and worked to get the best settlement in my case. She was professional, trustworthy and explained the law to me so i knew my options. Karen was patient with me during the worst times of my life, while I found out about horrible things my now ex did, and I melted down. I highly recommend her for both her wuality of skills and for her compassion.

Karen made sure I took care of myself from the very beginning. Then she used her expertise to take care of my case. Her kind and strong demeanor allowed me to vent, laugh and even cry when I needed to and it was her professionalism that led to a fair agreement that met my wants and needs. The painful process felt like an eternity but in hindsight, I realize it actually meticulously timed by Karen and now I can look forward to what tomorrow brings!

Karen served as our attorney in a complex family law matter related to a child custody dispute and related restraining orders in New Hampshire and Massachusetts. Karen was recommended by our New Hampshire attorney to deal with the Massachusetts legal issues. Karen was very responsive, coming up to speed quickly and working very effectively with our NH attorney. The process required multiple court appearances. She was able to deal with some of the issues very quickly. For others she was strategic in using the results of related investigations to clearly demonstrate the allegations were not supported. Ultimately with Karen's assistance, we all prevailed. Karen is a very knowledgable, no nonsense, fair, and hard working attorney who you are very glad is working for you and not for the other side.

I am from India and came here after marriage. I rarely write reviews but when I do, it's usually a case of something very good or very bad. In this case it was extremely good. I picked Karen after consulting at least 15 lawyers. She is a remarkable attorney, She understood my situation on point ( which was really complicated) She guided me throughout the process what to expect what not to expect. She was honest and direct. She comforted my parents, my family and when it was game time she went head on to fight. She never backed down from my ex's snake of a lawyer. I went into this divorce with a game plan . All I can say is, I highly recommend her. Karen, Once again thank you for everything.

Karen represented our family in closing our father’s estate. She helped us maintain a much needed sense of humor throughout the process, and was always available to answer questions. She was professional, careful, and respectful. We faced a very difficult situation involving our dad’s second wife, and what we viewed as a bombastic and unhelpful opposing council. Karen never blinked, stayed the course and successfully resolved the matter. I would hire her again for any family law matter.

Karen helped me get a modification on a child support order that materially reduced my weekly payment. Karen really helped and prodded me along to include all relevant items on my financials. We talked strategy before going in and I felt confident prior to the court date. Karen also knows when to keep quite and let the other side hang themselves. Thanks Karen!

Karen did an excellent job in her handling of my protracted and complex family law dispute. She was excellent in the court room, in negotiation, and in helping me devise a strategy that led to what I believe was the best possible outcome. She was also extremely responsive and a pleasure to work with. I was fortunate to have her as my attorney and strongly recommend her.
