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!!!

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.

Outstanding Matrimonial attorney

Karyn Villar is an amazing matrimonial attorney. She provided me with excellent representation that lead to a fair an equitable divorce settlement; not an easy task when men tend to get the raw end of the deal. She is an excellent trial attorney as well as negotiator. Her intelligence and tenacity... set her apart from her peers. She is well respected by judges and opposing attorneys. Her billing practices are very reasonable and she is cognizant to spend your money wisely to get the most of your legal dollar. Most importantly she puts the needs of the children involved above all else. Karyn saved my family, and allowed me to move on to a better life. I highly recommend Karyn Villar for any and all of your familial legal needs.

She’s professional and GETS THE JOB DONE

Karyn is very knowledgeable of the most current divorce laws. She’s very honest, will tell you what exactly what you’re entitled to without promising the world. She knows the Suffolk judicial system and I have found she and her staff are dedicated and committed to your case. Easy to get a hold of h...er and quick reply’s if not readily available. Would highly recommend.

Review of my divorce attorney

Hired Karyn to represent me in a divorce case. She represented me very diligently. Was on top of the case and all the numbers at all times. Prepared me very well for deposition. Excellent negotiatior and arrived at a very fair settlement.
