Great divorce lawuer

Very contested divorce. Other attorney no match for Karen. Really pleased with the outcome.

Just stay away!!!

I hired Karen to handle my divorce 4 years ago and to this day I'm still not divorced. As soon as she took my money nothing ever got done. I had to call to get her to follow up on everything and when documents were sent to her from my wife's Attorney, all she did was send them to me. She never revie...wed any of the documents from them or offered any direction in the process. I have just hired another attorney to handle this and was told that I will be divorced in 60 days and the fee is much more tolerable then what Karen charged to do nothing. I will be pursuing legal action against this firm as they did nothing for the money that was collected.

Run While you can

Karen is a terrible attorney. I went to her with a seperation aggreement that another attorney had done for my ex-wife and I and I asked her to review it and advise me where I would get hurt. She gave me no advice and said it looked fine. The simple agreement eventually fell through, kept gettting... ammended by my ex and her attorney and time and again Karen would advise me to agree to the changes. Even after, on several occasions, she would say lets just go to court and have the judge decide . When I agreed to that she would turn 180 degrees and talk me out of it. I went from having a decent seperation agreement to loosing everything, custody, my house, my pension, everything. Thanks for the advice Karen, I should have taken my chances in court. She is no litigator!!! Not really much of a divorce attorney either. Hind sight is 20/20 believe me when I say, use someone else.

Highy recommended!

Karen had taken over my case. She pushed through a difficult divorce with professionalism, kindness, and a relentlessness that resulted in a divorce . A fair distribution of marital assets. Her paperwork was always accurate, delivered in a timely manner, and she always checked with me to ensure th...at what she was proceeding with was what I wanted.

Do not use

Hired her to help with divorce, specifically dealing with home ownership and mortgage issues. She did nothing and offered no helpful advice on the situation. Ended up asking a friend with no legal experience to help revamp my divorce settlement and it was done 10 times faster and in better detail tha...n Karen did. She also used ALL of the retainer and then charged a lot of additional money. To do what - send a letter to the clerk? Can't even get in touch with her directly. Her paralegal does it all.
