Karen S. Gersten

Karen is a very thorough and conscientious attorney and will look out for your best interest. Although my case was quite unusual after one year, when it came time for deposition, she was an absolute RockStar!!! Knew what to ask, when to ask it, attention to detail of documentation which led to a fa...vorable outcome. I would absolutely recommend Karen.

I highly recommend Karen Gersten to anyone seeking smart, compassionate, informed and highly skilled representation. When I first filed for divorce with another lawyer I tried to go the ‘kind’ collaborative route, in part because I thought it would be less expensive, easier to manage and better for t...he kids. I was wrong. Instead, I wasted more than a year, spent at least 3x more than I expected to, was unable to avoid aggressive confrontations and the process fell apart. I went to Karen for help and everything changed –working with Karen took the weight of the process off of my shoulders and dramatically reduced the stress. Even though Karen is known as a skilled litigator, she knew I wanted to reach a settlement and never pressured me in the direction of a trial. She effortlessly managed unpleasant situations that I was now protected from – even opposing counsel enjoyed their interactions with Karen (although they clearly knew she was a formidable adversary). Thanks to her, the duration of my divorce was considerably less than I expected, we avoided trial and achieved a settlement that protects and provides for my children. I only wish I’d gone straight to Karen in the first place!

Karen represented me in a high conflict/domestic violence/child custody/divorce case. I agree with all the comments I read on this webpage. She is always well prepared and a step ahead of the opponent. She always made sure that I was safe and was very honest about what the right approach for my circu...mstances was. What I also felt was very important, is that she is well respected by the judges and other (good) lawyers. Thank you, Karen !

I hired Karen to help me with a contentious divorce after interviewing several attorneys. It was a difficult year personally but I knew Karen was in control of the legal issues. Above all, Karen has integrity and remains composed even during difficult negotiations. As opposed to my former spouses ...counsel, Karen was heads and shoulders above all of his attorneys. Because Karen was prepared every time we had court, depositions or needed to negotiate I ended up in a far better financial situation than I had even hoped for. I am so grateful to Karen and her entire team including Blake and Kerry who made sure we didn't miss a detail. They are not only top-notch professionals but have become friends. Now, I have my life and sanity back with some runway to start over. Priceless and affordable. Thank you Karen!

I started my Journey I’m sure like most soon to be divorcees. Unsure of what to expect, worried about the end result, and frankly scared about my future. Karen’s calming mannerism, confidence and her knowledge and understanding how the process works gave me great relief and support. Her constant a...ssurance she had everything under control allowed me the peace of mind to focus on my kids and help them through the process. She never wavered from what was most important to me and the end result was much better than I ever expected. Her ability to understand all the detail and negotiate in my favor has given me my life back. Karen truly navigated an incredibly complicated and challenging divorce with amazing skills, integrity and professionalism. Not only did she represent me better than I could have imaging, she became my friend. I would high recommend Karen for any family matter. Amazing!
