Karen S. Gersten

My divorce has finally ended. Attorney Gersten’s representation, guidance, and ability to walk me through this process was top notch. I had a very contentious divorce, my ex tried to have me put in prison on false accusations. Attorney Gersten was right there on the phone with the detectives keeping ...me free. In the end we accomplished all my goals in the divorce and feel like the judge truly saw my side of events. Karen’s closing was a perfect summary of how I had been wronged by my wife and my love of my daughter, the other victim in this case. I nearly cried in court. Her staff has always been there to answer questions and give reassurance that my voice was going to be heard. Every case is different, I can’t predict an outcome in yours, but Karen Gersten is going to relentlessly pursue your best interests.

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.

Attorney Karen Gersten is as equally compassionate as she is a master in the divorce and custody legal arena. She listened to me and always made me feel heard. And at the same time managed my expectations, kept me apprised of the status of my divorce, clearly navigated me through the legal system and..., most importantly, achieved exactly what I wanted as the outcome of my case. Karen is a class act and incredibly smart and intuitive. An absolute professional and obviously highly respected by her colleagues and courts. I highly recommend working with Karen. You will feel heard and will get what you are looking for in an attorney during a very intense and emotional time your life.

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.

I hired Karen to handle my divorce. She is clearly very knowledgeable, and made the process as painless as could be while getting me a great outcome. She remained calm (and helped me do the same) when my ex-wife's attorney was making things more difficult than they needed to be. She was great about f...ocusing me on the things that actually mattered for my case, while helping me ignore the parts that didn't. She thoroughly explained every step of the process, and her rationale for how we should approach it. It was clear she knew not just the legal aspects, but also the personalities involved and how to most effectively interact with them. In the end she got me a MUCH better outcome than I even thought was possible. I would recommend her without hesitation.
