Karen S. Gersten

I reached out to Karen based on the recommendation of a friend whose daughter was going through a very complicated divorce. Although, mine was a pretty straightforward case with two parties on good terms, Karen handled each step of the process with integrity, patience, and timeliness. Her responsibil...ity was to create an agreement that protected me and was fair. I did not need her to be my friend and confidant; I needed her to represent me and guide me in a process and an outcome that would have all parties moving forward as quickly as possible. Due to the lack of complexity in the case, the matter was resolved within a few months. Karen never waivered in her attention to detail and kindness, which is also a defining feature of everyone in the office.

Exceptional. As with most divorce situations, parties (especially the defendant) are painted in their least flattering and bordering on caricature. Karen competently addressed and countered claims by emphasizing decades of efforts within and my value to the relationship and in our community as well.... If things are to be what they are to be, she helped ensure that my life would go on and continue to improve without unnecessary and punitive burdens that would fall beyond an equitable solution.

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 recently found myself in the middle of a "gray" divorce. 70 years old, married for 13 years to a woman that turned on me. I decided to represent myself in court, defending my pension, Social Security, health care, non marital assets, bank accounts and such. It didn't take long for me to realize I n...eeded a professional consultation as her attorney's proposal was outrageous and would ruin me financially for the rest of my life. Karen's name was highly recommended by a close friend. A quick email to her office and I scheduled a consultation. I'm a good judge of people and immediately knew she was the person I wanted representing me. No nonsense or small talk. Straight to the point. Professional and knows the law. I knew she had my back. Once the dust settled, I was able to keep 90% of what I worked my entire life for. To say I am happy with her service would be an understatement. Regarding payment, her billing was straightforward and well documented. The entire process cost me much less than I expected. In short, I would highly recommend consulting with Karen first. You won't regret it.

Attorney Gersten is a top divorce attorney in the area. She did an amazing job and what seemed to be impossible to me a year ago. I went through a very difficult divorce. Before hiring attorney Gersten I interviewed 4 other attorneys and I am glad I chose Karen. She is very efficient and has fair cha...rges and accounting of hours practice. Karen is very knowledgeable and well respected in the court. She always fights to protect interests of her clients, while open to settlement without unnecessary trials if her clients are satisfied with outcome. If presented with challenge, Karen is open to face it without hesitation and do research of precedents to be used in the court. Karen is always confident and has genuine care for her clients. She always comes to the court prepared and ready to protect your interests. Karen is working hard to make sure she provides high quality service. I wish I could give Karen more than 5 starts.
