About Karen
Biography
Karen Winner uses her analytic prowess coupled with her experience as a seasoned investigative reporter to defend people against big law firms who try to take advantage, and bullying opponents. Winner is credited with exposing the divorce court system as an industry, and drafting Part 1400 Rules for New York matrimonial attorneys -- the original Statement of Client Rights that all New York divorce attorneys are required to provide to their clients. Winner's investigative reporter background is highly useful for uncovering facts and cutting through disinformation and spin. She is the nationally-acclaimed author of Divorced From Justice - published by ReganBooks/HarperCollins, with her book endorsed by famed trial attorney Gerry Spence and U.S. Congressman Jerrold Nadler). Her practice is divided between handling LLC partnership disputes, lawyer-fee contract disputes between lawyers and clients, advocating for those with invisible disabilities in the courtroom, and select family and elder law cases. She challenges contracts that are unenforceable in court to defend people against lawyer fee abuse and unfair tactics. She also enforces divorce settlement agreements.

Karen F. Winner's Lawyer Endorsements
"I’ve known Karen since 2014. We met through a mutual client we were both representing, with each of use handling a different aspect. I was impressed with her knowledge and her work, and she quickly became my “go to” person on any issue involving improper appointment of receivers, overbilling by matrimonial attorneys, and improper liens placed on client’s files by discharged attorneys. We’ve been co-counsel on an extremely difficult case. Her skills are self evident, she literally wrote the rules that became codified as 22 NYCRR 1400, but beyond that is her integrity. Time and time again she places her client’s interests first and foremost. Her experience and skills would be invaluable to any client Karen represents."
"I have worked with Karen Winner on several matters when her clients needed ADA Accommodations in the courtroom. She is collaborative and an analytical thinker. She is determined to help her clients in their malpractice and divorce matters. An advocate at heart, she is a fierce fighter for what her clients deserve. Clients will receive one on one attention from Karen."
