Karen S. Gersten

I hired Attorney Gersten to represent me through a divorce from my now ex-husband, and it is the best financial decision I have ever made by a LANDSLIDE. Karen is the absolute pinnacle of professionalism, legal expertise, and client advocacy. Her legal counsel is worth every penny (and then some). ... After finding out that my husband was having an affair, I wanted the best representation I could find. I was blind-sided and had no idea what I should expect navigating a divorce. I met with a few other divorce-specializing lawyers locally before finding Attorney Gersten. The consultations I had with other lawyers all seemed to end up in the same place-- a cookie-cutter response, and dismissive approach to the dissolution of my 9-year marriage. Not Attorney Gersten. From the instant I met with her to discuss my situation, I knew I'd found the person to help me get through the toughest season of my life. Karen listened attentively to the details and circumstances that made my case unique, making sure my biggest concerns and needs would be met moving forward as she strategized her approach. She made me feel heard and understood, like a real partner throughout the process. She kept me grounded and provided me with previews on what documentation needed to be prepared (both by me, and her team), what I might expect while appearing in court, or what negotiations might come up on the road to settling my case. Further than that, she actually pointed out additional factors about my situation that I never would have thought to, explaining why they must be non-negotiable given my circumstances. Karen takes a no-nonsense approach, wasting no time on fluff. Every second she spent on my case was well documented and easily understood. Any interactions we had, she’d always try to get as much accomplished as we possibly could together to prepare for the next step. After watching Attorney Gersten command a room during court proceedings and other interactions, it is obvious that she is exceptionally well-respected by her peers and others within the judicial system. She is the perfect balance of kind and caring in her interactions, while remaining assertive in her communication and negotiations. She is ethical, confident, and exudes professionalism through every step. Anyone who has been through a divorce knows the rollercoaster of emotions that can be experienced. Having Attorney Gersten as a champion in my corner through this process gave me not only an outstanding result financially settling my divorce, but something MUCH more important: peace of mind. Every nerve-wrecking situation that came up, she was there to calm my nerves. If you have the opportunity to work with Attorney Gersten… RUN, don’t walk.

I'd like to extend my gratitude for your advocacy in my situation; specifically your attention to detail, your prompt replies and action planning dealing with the somewhat complicated and prolonged situation. You consistently put my interests at the forefront. Your staff was extremely helpful a...nd efficient and pleasant, from answering the phone with my questions and facilitating the filing of affidavits, as well as informing me of what I could expect at specific court appearances. I greatly appreciate your professionalism, your candor, and your follow up to be sure the outcomes were settled which provided great peace of mind for me. I will happily provide a recommendation and referrals to anyone to employ your services.

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 understanding, caring, knowledgeable and professional. I retained her to help with several post-settlement issues because my other attorney had retired. She was highly recommended by friends because of her ability to "tell it like it is" and I couldn't agree more with their assessment. Karen... knew how to handle a stressful and difficult situation while advising how to keep emotions in check. I would recommend her without hesitation.

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.
