Karen Ellis Nora

I recently started my own business and Karen Nora helped me set up my corporation. Karen Nora was very professional and eager to help. I had no idea what it takes to start up a corporation. After 5 minutes I knew I was in the right place. Her knowledge and attention to detail was greatly appreciated.... I have since used her firm exclusively for my legal needs. She recently did my wife and my wills and again provided me with a lot of information about wills that I did not realize. I have never been a big fan of lawyers but Karen has changed my opinion of lawyers!

My brother and I used Karen Nora to settle our mother’s estate when she passed. Ms. Nora went above and beyond in the handling of this matter. When the town claimed there was no C.O. for our mother’s property Ms. Nora personally went down to the town hall spending hours researching every possible m...eans of tracking down this C.O. until the matter was resolved. Karen was in touch with our realtor putting her at ease through the tedious process too. She guided my brother and I through every detail from probating the will through the closing of our mom’s house. This process was not an easy one and we relied heavily on Karen. She was the consummate professional and her patience incredible, more than that we both felt like Karen was really working for us. I completely trust this attorney and have recommended her to family and friends every chance I get! My sister-in-law used Karen to draw up wills and handle some real estate transactions in Florida. She had a positive experience as well and it was very convenient that Karen is licensed to practice in Florida too! Karen Nora is a rare gem and I highly recommend her.

My husband and I arrived at the office to sign our wills. My husband had taken the day off work and we actually had an appointment with the other lawyer in the office (Edmund Smyth). When we arrived, we were informed by Ms. Nora that Mr. Smyth would not be making our appointment, and that she was g...oing to "have" to help us. I explained that I was confused because we had an appointment and my husband had taken the day off work. Clearly she was angry that Mr. Smyth wasn't there, and decided to take it out on us. She snapped back, "WELL, HE'S NOT HERE!!!!". I looked around at the paralegals in disbelief. I was completely shocked! I have never been treated this way by anyone! Ms. Nora sent us into a room, and searched for our wills. I started to feel bad for Ms. Nora because she was put in this position, and clearly she was having trouble finding our wills. So I went back out to her and calmly said, "I'm sorry - it's just that we are a bit frustrated because my husband took the day off work, and Mr. Smyth isn't even here". She again snapped back at me, "DO YOU WANT ME TO HELP YOU OR NOT?!!!" I slunk back into our waiting room, and didn't speak for the rest of the time. Two days later, I got a bouquet of flowers from Mr. Smyth, apologizing for the HORRIBLE way Ms. Nora had treated me (I guess the paralegals in the office must have told him).
