Almost 20 years ago, Attorney Karen S. Gersten represented my now ex wife, to whom I had been married for almost 25 years at the time. In summary, my ex was awarded lifetime alimony in access of $20K per year, half my retirement, half my 401k, half the equity in our home, and half of my lifetime... savings. I'm now 78 years old and retired. I have been paying $20K yearly alimony for almost 20 years with no end in sight. My ex gets half of my pension, AND from what is left for me, I have to pay the alimony. My ex is now retired and is over 66 years old; so, she also receives half of my Social Security payments. As the result of this divorce, my ex is enjoying a financial windfall, while I am in financial ruins, and will be for the rest of my life All I can say to my ex and Attorney Karen S. Gersten is, "Well played!". A perfect plan was well executed. I don't know what my ex paid to be represented by Attorney Karen S. Gersten, but my my ex has collected substantially more than $400K from me since our divorce ($20K yearly times 20 years), and that amount is growing annually. My point is this. If you are seeking a divorce, and you want to skewer your husband for the rest of his life, Attorney Karen S. Gersten is the attorney you want to hire.

I hired Karen to help me file for changes to my previous child custody affidavit from a tough divorce several years back. At the time I went initially I did not have an Attorney and the child custody arrangement was very restrictive towards me and over the years became quite inaccurate as I have been... keeping my child for more and more time. Karen helped me file everything and obtain sole custody of my child and the cancellation of my required child support payments. Karen was very professional and extremely quick to respond at any point whenever I had questions or needed to get her advice and recommendations because the situation has been constantly changing recently. Karen is definitely someone I would recommend hiring, it was huge benefit to have her guidance and expertise throughout the progression of my case. The entire situation went much smoother than I ever could have expected or hoped for.
