Strong, Smart and Knowledgable

Karen Venice is extraordinary. She really explained the reality of my situation and we ended up with a fair deal. I am grateful and happy I hired Corcoran and Karen represented me.

Karen is by far the best divorce attorney in Bergen County!

Karen was exceptionally attentive to the needs of my family. I did not know where to turn for advice and Karen addressed all f my needs with empathy and professionalism. I would suggest any one who is contemplating a divorce to trust Karen's advice to get though the most difficult time in your life.... I did and the outcome as difficult as it was, helped my family at this most difficult time.

Cust

My case involved an emergent issue against me, so my atty had to be responsive and knowledgable. It was a sensitive case and a very involved, detailed case. Her adversary used misleading statements against me which caused this to be a difficult case. However, she was tenacious and regardless of other...s tactics never did anything improper or borderline questionable in regards to my case, but keep her eye on the end result. I felt like she was my partner. I would recommend her highly...

Thought I was hiring a bulldog and ended up with a wer noodle

Hired Robert Corcoran to represent me in divorce but he pawned me off to Karen Venice. I could not have been anymore disgusted and disappointed with her representation. She spent more time fighting me - her client- than my adversary whom she treated with kids gloves. Needless to say I got completel...y shafted in the settlement. Fortunately I was able to hire a competent attorney Tom Mckinney who got me alimony reduced by almost 50%. Karen is without a doubt the worst attorney I ever encountered and the fact that she charged $40,000+ just adds salt to the wound. Never have I encountered an attorney who pat herself on the back much for accomplishing so little.
