"I have known Karen Halpern as a colleague and fellow nurse/attorney for many years and have consulted with her on matters dealing with the disciplinary defense of health care professionals in various state and federal agencies. She is very experienced and knowledgeable in this area and is often successful in having matters dismissed for her clients or negotiating the most favorable settlements possible on their behalf. I have found that Karen embodies a unique combination of qualities necessary for success in this arena. They are a straight shooting professionalism and integrity which have earned her the respect of her prosecutorial adversaries with whom she deals regularly and compassion for her clients who are often suffering through crises that have the potential to negatively impact their ability to practice in their chosen professions. I am grateful to have her as a resource for my own practice as well as an excellent attorney to whom to refer clients."
"I endorse this lawyer. Karen and I work in the same areas of practice, healthcare and professional discipline, and nearby locations on Long Island, so I am well acquainted with the high quality of her work, her professionalism, compassion, and effectiveness as an advocate. I do not hesitate to refer to her."
"Karen Halpern, a licensed nurse attorney, is professional, experienced, an excellent communicator and strong advocate. I strongly endorse this nurse attorney."
