Mrs .Villar I will never recommend her to anyone she promises you everything the minute you retainer she doesn’t do anything for you she doesn’t care about her clients The only thing she cares is how much money she puts in her pocket she doesn’t Address anything to the judge and they drive the case a...s long as they can to make more money there is no justice their attorneys take over the court. They don’t even judge directions. Horrible experience for families specially children what they have to go through! I will never recommend this attorney to no one

Absolute Godsent!!

Karyn is an absolute saint! I obtained another lawyer when I was first served with divorce papers-needless to say he was absolutely horrible. A friend provided me with Karyn's contact information and I switched attorneys mid-way because she was that good. She is professional and truly listens. She... fights for her clients! She is extremely responsive if you reach out to her with any type of question or concern-even on weekends/nights she responds. Her staff are also excellent regarding response time! I'm so sorry I didn't know about Karyn when I first obtained a lawyer. Having Karyn as my attorney was a game changer for me and I am so appreciative for all her hard work and efforts fighting for me. If you have concerns about this attorney-DON'T, retain her right away she is that good! She doesn't string you along to try and nickel and dime you! She wants what's best for her clients in the shortest amount of time! She truly was a godsent!! The BEST of the BEST!!! If it wasn't for Karyn I would've had a very different result and I'm thankful every day that I found her! She is the real deal!!!

Above and beyond

Karyn has always gone above and beyond for her clients. She is compassionate and understanding, and helps to educate you while ensuring the best possible outcome for you! I highly recommend her to anyone who needs a true bulldog in the court room!

Excellent, extremely knowledgeable

Sometimes in life we can unfortunately come up against a moment that will impact us and our family greatly that we also have little to no control over and it is left in the hands of people we don't know in a courtroom; every parent's worst nightmare. These unknown moments leave us feeling helpless, h...opeless, and in a constant state of anxiety and fear going up against the unknown. As people unaware of the courtroom process, our rights, and especially during and after the hands of abusive and controlling relationships ridiculed and threatened with constant accusations, lies, stories, false statements, gaslighting, slander, and fear, Karyn Villar brings you strength, hope, and the ability to feel like you can breathe again. She is honest, fair, straight forward, all while still somehow making you laugh and/or smile. Karyn gives you strength when you feel you don't have any, makes you open your eyes to see you no longer have to be afraid and cower, she makes you finally feel heard. She is human. Someone who is fierce in the courtroom yet you can speak as if you are speaking to a friend uncensored and comfortable while sharing your story, unjudged, and feeling protected. Karyn's in-depth knowledge of the law is unparalleled. I have witnessed numerous attorneys quote laws inaccurately to try to persuade the court and go against Karyn and she would immediately come back with the proper quoting of the law and how it pertained or did not pertain to what they were speaking of. “Though she be but little, she is fierce.” I would, have, and will always continue to recommend her services to anyone that needs an attorney. Although I myself have not needed her anymore, I have had many friends and family who have used her to this day and have felt the same as I. Listening to a friend's recent story, I felt compelled to share and write this review. Thank you from all of us.

Only hire her if you are a man

As my bill was reaching the sky and I was being talked in circles it became very clear that this attorney is for someone other than her clients. Mostly she takes a man's side even it is against her client who is paying her. She gives misinformation and guides you to do things that will benefit the ...person who is ruining your life and clearly a monster before she does what is ethical and decent. I was constantly told what his rights were and what my rights were not. The part of the discussions that were my rights became blurry under her interpretation. In one minute you are given hope that justice will be done and in the next second you are being told the person lying cheating and stealing while ruining your life deserves everything. The Bar Association will not be pleased with this. Upon legal advice from someone who cares for their clients especially women and children she is giving incorrect information and withholding the law to benefit the person she should be defending you from.
