I found Karina to be professional, knowledgeable, accommodating, and pleasant. She communicated back and forth in a timely manner, and showed flexibility when needed. She was referred to me through a friend, and I will refer others to her as well. Thank you.

Best Lawyer Ever!!!

Karina Lucid is an excellent attorney. She was very knowledgeable, personable, and very client oriented. She always made me feel at ease and helped me to nagivate through the legal process feeling very confident in her ability to represent me. She was always available to answer questions and she made... me feel comfortable with my current situation. She was reassuring, yet she gave me facts and options, and not just what I wanted to hear. I had a great overall experience with her representation. If you want someone who is client focused and knowledgeable Karina is all of that and much, much more. If I was ever in this situation again, but hopefully not I would most definitely seek out Karina as the one to represent me.

A family feel, in a time you need it the most.

Let's face it.., if you are looking for a bankruptcy and/or debt litigation/mediation attorney, most likely is does not fall under the category of one of the greatest times of your life. In fact it can have a severe emotional toll on you and your family..., leading to fear, depression, and much more.... I thank God that I met Karina. She literally is a light at the end of the tunnel, a tunnel that leads to a new beginning. It is rare to find the expertise and professionalism combined with compassion and grace that Karina possess. She has held the torch for myself and my family. She walked us through the entire Bankruptcy process, ensuring us that all would be ok, leading the charge for the challenging uphill battle while remaining poised the entire way. Three and a half years later I can tell you everything she ensured us has come and continues to come to fruition as the time passes. Her work holds true, everything was filed perfectly. We are completely protected and the view at the top of the mountain is magnificent. If you are starting your journey there is no one I would recommend or trust more to help you and your family through this difficult time. If things feel like they are falling apart, call Karina to help you put it back together. She gets it done, and gets it done right.

Client Review For Karina Pia Lucid, Esq.

Due to my financial circumstances which included unemployment and several real estate matters, I had to file for bankruptcy and about a year ago my bankruptcy was finalized. I spoke to several Attorney's and was discouraged because they didn't seem to understand my entire financial circumstances and ...my impression was that I wouldn't receive the personal attention I needed. I didn't want my bankruptcy handled like it was a “drive through” bankruptcy, I needed allot of expert guidance on my specific financial needs. A friend told me about meeting Karina at a networking group meeting and hiring her to handle her bankruptcy. Karina did an outstanding job on her bankruptcy; my friend liked working with her on a professional and personal level. I had the same experience that my friend had with Karina. Her guidance, caring and expertise made the bankruptcy process easier for me. I’ve told my friends who know of my bankruptcy, that no one else could have handled my bankruptcy as well as Karina did. My friend gave me a gift when she shared her story of the circumstances that led her to file for bankruptcy and by recommending that I speak to Karina. I prepared the information Karina asked for and when I met with her she understood my entire financial circumstances and advised me on the best type of bankruptcy for me to do. I had the opposite experience with the other Attorney’s I spoke to. I hired Karina the day I had my consultation and without hesitation I would recommend to anyone who needs her legal expertise to hire her. Karina is down to earth and really cares about her clients. She has always given me the personal attention I needed and has gone above and beyond in providing me with additional guidance. I will also work with her on another matter that needs to be negotiated. Karina still continues to advise me on how to proceed to save me money and time on my legal matters. She is always concerned about saving me money and honest to where she even advises me if there is any part of my legal needs that could be handled by another Attorney to save me money. I've written this client review in the hope that it will help anyone who is in the process of making a decision about going through the bankruptcy process and seeking outstanding legal advice. Good luck and all the best! PS – I prefer not to give out my name in this client review but if you would like to speak to me, please let Karina know you would like to speak to client J and she can give you my phone number. I will be happy to answer any questions you may have.

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"I have known Karina for several years. We first met when we worked together on a contentious chapter 11 case where my firm represented the debtors and her firm represented the creditors' committee. Karina was always professional and courteous throughout our dealings and made a case filled with difficult issues and vigorous disputes manageable. Her efforts contributed to a successful outcome for all parties involved. Since that case, we have stayed in regular contact. I have always found her insights regarding legal issues and the practice of law to be helpful. She has worked hard to develop her own practice that exhibits her capabilities, integrity, and compassion -- a rare combination that serves her clients well. I heartily recommend Karina."
