Family court attorney

Karen was fantastic! She helped me navigate the family court system with ease. Answered or returned my phone calls, and answered all of my “stupid” questions! Would totally recommend!

Awful Family Attorney

This was my initial experience navigating the legal process, and it proved to be quite challenging. I do not believe Karen would be a suitable choice for representation. Unfortunately, she appeared unprepared for court proceedings and expressed that my request for regular brief communication with our... two-year-old was unreasonable and infringed upon the other parent's time in front of other attorneys. My experience with her as an attorney was far below satisfactory and I do not recommend her to anyone.

false hop

I went in for a free consult, she seemed sincerely interested in helping me.....yeah well then she never returns phone calls or e-mails!!! what a waste of time!

Without knowing this individual's identity, it is difficult to respond other than to say that I continuously return phone calls and respond to emails from my clients. I am sorry if you had a disappointing experience with my office.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
