Karen S. Gersten

Talk about going into a mess and coming out clean on the other side. I went through a DIY divorce a few years back and when the ex came back asking for more I knew I needed help. Karen's name was recommended to me and was described as a "shark" (pretty sure I never told Karen that!). Karen was cal...m under pressure and had a quick response to every angle thrown at us. She shows genuine care for her clients and takes pride in her position. Not only did I come away better than expected financially, I now have more time with my kids and was able to save the kids from a long drawn out CPS evaluation. My sincerest thanks goes to Karen...

I cannot speak more highly of Karen's services. I was married for only 3 years and I had a 2 year old little girl. I will spare you the details but my ex wife was trying to keep me from seeing my daughter. Not only am I pleased with the financial outcome, but the only reason I am able to be apart ...of my daughter's life is because of Karen and the GAL she hired. I would highly recommend Karen as a divorce attorney.

We knew Karen was the one from the moment we met her. My wife and I were exhausted from the stress of dealing with a deceitful and manipulative ex wife for 10 years and now we needed help more than ever. Our first meeting with Karen, we dumped a pile of information on her desk and she immediately beg...an to assemble the puzzle and plan our defense. She asked us smart and calculating questions that let us know she was on the right track. Throughout the process she and Blake were communicative and timely, making us feel like we were important. Karen is extremely knowledgeable and presented strategic options that gave us confidence with her at the helm. She took the weight of the world off our shoulders and gave us relief. We never felt like we were being over charged or taken advantage of, just the opposite in fact, she was mindful and efficient. Karen is worth every penny! But it was the long awaited day in court that Karen really got a chance to shine! She came very prepared with all of our documentation, facts, and game plan meticulously organized. Karen took charge of the courtroom and presented our case with a strong and respectful presence. She was quick to react and change course when necessary. It was truly impressive to see how she took all of the bits of info we gave her and wove them together to present such a strong case. We won by a landslide and still can't believe that after all of these years, we can finally relax! Karen has given us freedom and peace of mind. We highly recommend getting her on your team before your adversary snaps her up!

I was referred to Karen Gersten by a friend whose ex-husband had retained her as his attorney. From the minute I stepped into Karen's office for my initial consult, I knew I was in good hands. She is extremely professional, detailed, knowledgeable, hardworking, and honest. My divorce was very cont...entious with an alcoholic spouse and three young children involved. Although the divorce took over a year to finally settle, Karen was able to successfully navigate me through many difficult and emotionally charged situations. She also helped me to avoid a nasty and expensive trial in court. Karen paid careful attention to every detail of my case from start to finish and ensured the well being of my children and I throughout the process. From filing pendente lite orders in the beginning stages (for temporary alimony and child support during the divorce process), to negotiating an effective co-parenting/custody plan, to reaching an extremely favorable settlement on my behalf, I could not have asked for a better outcome. Furthermore, Karen's paralegal Blake and her office staff were extremely responsive and helpful. It is clear that Karen is well respected by judges and other attorneys in the legal system. She is able to remain calm and poised even in the most stressful situations, which was very reassuring. I will refer Karen to anyone I know facing a divorce in the future. The cost of her services is well worth the peace of mind that you will receive the best outcome possible. Thank you Karen!!!

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.
