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 been representing myself and my companies in numerous business transactions, negotiations and litigations for over 10 years now. In each and every case, she never promised me anything or gave me any advice that wasn't in my best interest. Her attention to detail and her making herself avail...able whenever I needed her are some of the reasons, aside from all of our success, that I have stayed with her for so long. If you are looking for an honest attorney that knows their stuff and gives you the best advice, look no further!

I was getting married for the first time but living with my fiancé for many years. He suggested a pre-nuptial agreement. I heard of Ms. Svendsen, called her and she worked a miracle. Her extensive experience in marital law and personal manner not only made the whole experience as pleasant as it could... be, but the outcome for me was better than I could have ever expected. She spent the time getting to know me and my future expectations. She is fair and honest and I would highly recommend her to anyone with out any hesitation.

I recommend Karen Svendsen as an expert in Family Law and exceptionally talented lawyer without reservation. After almost a year of little to no progress in my case for child support, a very astute friend of my gave me Karen Svendsen's phone number. She had skillfully brought my friend's divorce ca...se to an optimal conclusion. My prior lawyer didn't prepare or guide me, and actually put my case in jeopardy due to their lack of experience. Karen Svendsen was attentive and helpful from our first conversation. In our first meeting, within 15 minutes she had not only mastered the facts of my case but very easily pointed out extremely advantageous holes and significant intricasies specifically beneficial to my case. She fought on my behalf from the beginning until the very end. Because of her superb skill in negotiating, her understanding of the court and the depth of her experience she was able to reach an advantageous settlement for me. Achieving a settlement has allowed my ex husband and I to go forward with a calmness and decency towards one another which never would have been possible had we gone to trip and both testified. Karen Svendsen's professional, experienced, compassionate & honest demeanor gave me a feeling of calm in what was one of the more difficult years of my life. I am eternally grateful to her.

I originally came to Karen several years ago to discuss a legal separation. This was an extremely difficult time for me. Karen demonstrated the knowledge and sensitivity necessary to put me at ease. When my divorce was finalized, I felt comfortable knowing that I had Karen to represent me. If you...'re looking for an advocate who is knowledgeable, responsive and senstive to client needs, Karen should be your first choice.
