Karen S. Gersten

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 did a lot of research before choosing an attorney and when I met Karen I knew she was going to give me the best representation. I had a very contentious divorce but I felt at ease with Karen. She knows when to put her velvet glove on and when to bring an iron fist. She’s not only a stellar attorney... but she has a heart of gold. You get the best of both worlds with Karen. She gets it done. Not alot of long talk - only facts. No game playing - only facts. She knows the law, knows how to articulate the law and will have your back all the way. She’s the one you want in your corner.

Karen has represented me in divorce and post-divorce matters over a five-year period. From the beginning of the process when I was confused and lost, she showed me a path forward. Through all the tedious, numerous court appearances and battles along the way to negotiating a reasonable resolution, Kar...en has consistently represented my best interests, knowing when to fight for me, when to challenge me and when to look for a resolution. I trust her judgment and her “no non-sense” advice. She has credibility with the Court, and she knows how to get things done. She is well prepared for court appearances. She is cool-headed, detail oriented and she can think on her feet. She replies promptly when I need her attention. Her office staff is pleasant, professional, helpful, and effective. I'm grateful for having her in my corner. She’ll be my attorney as long as I have to be a client!

Karen is an absolute super hero. She is knowledgeable, EXTREMELY patient, understanding and above all a great person. She makes you feel as if you are her top priority. She does not back down from any challenge, and she sure had one with my divorce. When it felt like I was losing hope, she kept remin...ding me to be strong and to carry on. I don't know how she did it, but she was finally able to get my divorce final from a very abusive ex to not only myself, but my children. We are finally safe and at peace because of her, and we will forever be grateful.
