Karen Svendsen

I hired Ms Svendsen in a child custody matter, pursuing residential custody of my child. It was an absolute pleasure to work Ms Svendsen, both during preliminary hearings and during the trial. She is extremely knowledgeable of the law, and was an excellent trial attorney. Her insight and quick thinki...ng during the trial was astounding to watch. As a result of this, her persistence, and her honest desire for justice for my child and myself, we won our case. Additionally, Ms Svendsen provided honest answers about what she felt would and would not be successful during all of the proceedings, which was very much appreciated. We pursued avenues that had a possibility of a favorable outcome, and did not waste time on those that were likely to be unsuccessful. I would absolutely hire Ms Svendsen again, and have done so when necessary over the last 15 years.

Karen has done a terrific job handling my divorce settlement, she was able to explain and go over in detail all the components of the complex terminology in the documents. She was also readily available and answered any follow-up questions I had regarding alimony, child support, and custody issues. I... was very impressed with her knowledge of the law and her skills at negotiation. I would highly recommend her and her law firm to anyone!

I hired Karen to represent me in a child custody and child support case and I couldn’t speak more highly of her work, and also as a person. The outcome of both cases was even better than what I hoped for. Karen is both highly intelligent and experienced. She truly understands her craft and what ...she told me I would get at the start is exactly what she delivered (and then some) in the end. As a client, I was always treated with respect and compassion. I hired Karen to help me with the most important thing in my life and she understood the importance of her services to mine and my child’s life. She was attentive to my needs and was willing to explain to me the ins and outs of any question I had about the case as we went. The same goes for her paralegal, Christina Kaminsky. If you have a chance, ask for Christina’s help. Christina is compassionate, organized, intelligent, and eager to assist. I received prompt replies to any question I had and I was treated by her with the utmost respect and care, which is what a person needs when going through a custody trial. Lastly, I pride myself on being an ethical person and Karen was the perfect legal representation of that. I appreciated her mastery at working within the lines to achieve the desired outcome of my case. She embodies the moral and ethical values that I live by and it was refreshing to know that my representation was such an extension of myself, with the legal wherewithal that I of course do not have. Karen played cleanly, and she is so good that playing dirty would simply be beneath her. Overall, fantastic attorney who truly values her clients and will go above and beyond the basic job description to ensure she delivers.

I have never left any type of reviews prior to this one. However, I felt so compelled to leave one about Karen. I was a mess and in need of a strong voice to represent me during a divorce which due to the other side looking to drag this process out was going know where. Karen stepped up took contro...l and pulled me through this. She understood and was sensative to just how important my daughters are to me. In the courtroom Karen has everyone’s respect. Karen, is not only a great attorney but is just as good of a person. Also her paralegal Christina is second to none. If you are going through a divorce do yourself a favor and contact Karen as you will not regret it!
