Exceptional Talent

I hired Karen McGuire in 2013. I am divorcing an angry spouse who pulls every trick imaginable. I would have been crushed without Karen’s expertise. She is brilliant and has a thorough understanding of the law. After my prior attorney watched me sink into a highly disadvantageous position, this f...irm turned my case completely around so that I was successful. I have been to Court at least 50 times, and Karen is an unwaivering professional—always prepared and ready to fight for my children and me. This entire firm is thorough, which is likely why they are highly respected in Court. Brittney Magnan has worked on my case and her knowledge and dedication have been precious. If you suspect your spouse will engage in malicious behavior, Brittney can handle it. She is outstanding and has a reassuring presence which helped me to testify in a calm, rational manner. Karen and Brittney have a rare talent in that they can tease through tremendous emotional conflict and see the relevant issues to help you win your case. As Winston Churchill said, “If you’re going through hell, keep going.” I am so grateful to Karen and Brittney for leading me through a complex legal nightmare. They have unrelentlessly fought for me, and they effectively applied the law to protect me, my children, and our future financial stability. I recommend them to all my friends and colleagues without hesitation.

No way!

She sounded good in our first meeting. Sounded like I was going to nail my ex husband good. She subpeona all his records, made me promises, refused to compromise with his attorney - etc.....what did it get me? It got me exacty what I would have gotten because the laws are the laws. The only differenc...e is that I'm $91,000 less in my pocket because Karen charges you for everything she promises to do to the second. If I had to do it again, I would no way hire her. I'd hire an attorney who knows how to compromise. Her lack of compromising and all her false promises cost me big time......big big time! My recommendation - no way using her ever again!

I would not recomend her

Ms. McGuire sells herself to the highest bidder. She has no morals about who is right and who is wrong. She charges for every milisecond - and she is not very well liked throughout the court system. She constantly complains, is very nasty and gives very inappropriate advice. She has miss represented... me and my interests regularly. I suggest you be very very careful if you hire her. She costs a lot of money and doesn't do what you ask. I think you'll be just as dissapointed as I have been.

Worst Attorney Ever!

She billed me for extra fees I didn't need. She delayed my case 6 extra months. She looks ridiculous-if you look at her, you'll know what I mean. Worst attorney ever. No ethics. No morals. She rapes her own clients. I will never recommend her. Steer clear. She is out for your money.......She couldn't... care less about my case.....she is horrible! No conscience!

A+++ Attorney

Karen McGuire is a top notch A+++ Attorney. When you are going through one of the most difficult, grueling times of your life, you want to know that you can count on and trust your attorney to fight for you. Karen not only fought for me but she gave me the strength to push through when even I sometim...es didn't think I could get through another day. Karen is extremely skilled, intelligent, knowledgable and a fighter. This is the type of attorney that you want representing you when you go through divorce. I saw the dedication and the drive she had to help me win from the first moment I walked in during my consult, and that drive never fizzled out; It continued until the very end! I will be forever grateful for what Karen has done for me.
