Karen S. Gersten

I was having some issues with my ex from our divorce three years ago which, if he got his way, would have a devastating impact on my son and I. I had met with another attorney who basically told me that I was out of luck. I went to Karen on the recommendation of a friend of a friend who couldn't say ...enough great things about her. My first impression of Karen was that she was very confident, competent, professional and to the point. She reviewed what I had to show her and I left her office feeling optimistic that she could help me. Everything was handled professionally by her and her staff and when it came time to go to court, we ended up on the winning side. She and her staff never seemed bothered by my hundreds of questions and were always very friendly and accommodating. She was a pleasure to deal with and without her, I'm not sure how things would have turned out. I plan to use her again when it comes time to modify my alimony. I truly can not recommend her highly enough. Five stars is not enough.

Prior to consulting with Attorney Karen Gersten, I had been cleaning out my desk and came across an old sticky note with her phone number. I had been referred to Karen two years earlier by a professional acquaintance of mine who works closely with attorneys and who knew I was considering a divorce. ... Her advice was to “go see Karen” but the note never made it to my priority list! I had become so overwhelmed and discouraged with the legal process, having interviewed with two attorneys who did not have the scope of knowledge I was expecting, that I put my divorce on hold. I decided to call Karen. She promptly returned my call and rearranged her calendar to see me on short notice. It was the best decision I could have made. Her immense knowledge and expertise on family matters and the legal process gave me the confidence I needed to pursue my divorce. I have two angels, the one who directed me to find that old sticky note, and Attorney Gersten, who put my best interest first and gave me the advice that I needed to hear. Oftentimes during a divorce, a time of extreme emotional upheaval, you are looking for someone to sympathize and tell you what you want to hear. While having compassion for my situation, Karen did not offer false hope. Rather, she made it a point to be forthright about the legal process and what I could expect. As soon as you meet Karen, you recognize her immense integrity, honesty, and expertise. She is extremely wise, empathetic, well informed, and trustworthy. I feel Karen has the best interest of her client at the forefront. Before I met her, I was fearful of the legal process regarding divorce. After meeting Karen, I feel safe and I trust her completely. Thank you Attorney Gersten. You are an angel and a gem!

Karen was recommended to me by 2 different people and I cannot be more thankful to her and her office for the way they handled my divorce. While the issue at times was more than contentious, Karen helped guide the process in a professional manner and we arrived at a settlement in a couple months whe...n it could have taken years. Karen's knowledge and demeanor made the process easier than I expected. I would definitely recommend Karen and her office in the future.

I hired Karen last year as my divorce attorney. She expertly guided me through the entire process, which included getting a restraining and protective order for me and my children, navigating custody, and of course, finances. Karen proved to be a trusted advisor, and managed my case flawlessly until ...final settlement. Even though at times, I might have disagreed with her recommendations, she was always able to counsel me as to her reasoning, and in the end, proved to be spot-on. I had the ultimate confidence in her, and am thankful I hired her to help my family through an extremely difficult time.

Karen is cool and calm and extremely knowledgeable, very quick thinking and organized. She and her team helped me tremendously in a heated contentious and complicated divorce. The process and probable outcomes discussed in the initial consultation were spot on. She seems to be steps ahead of the g...ame at every turn. Extremely competent. If you have a lot on the line, this team is fantastic.
