About Karen
Biography
I have over 25 years of experience practicing Family Law. I have had the unique experience of working for the courts as a law clerk to the President Judge of Family Court, as a staff attorney prosecuting child support cases and as Assistant Director of the Chester County Domestic Relations Office. I have literally experienced "both sides" of the legal system up close. I strive to share with my clients what I learned working inside the court system so that I may take the fear out of the legal process as much as possible. I am resolution-oriented. If it is possible to reasonably resolve the outstanding issues in a case, I believe that should be our first priority. Sometimes, that is simply not possible on some or all of the issues. In those cases which require court intervention, I am my client's voice in court. To be an effective advocate, I believe in being well-prepared, firm and professional at all times.

Posted by anonymous | February 26, 2019 | Hired Attorney | Divorce & Separation
The best divorce lawyer in PA. Period.
I went through 3 different lawyers before finally settling to work with Karen. I regret wasting time and money with other lawyers, as Karen was far more knowledge and efficient at handling my case anyone I worked with. Karen is very smart, practical, compassionate, easy to work and has deep rooted ...

Clear, honest, empathetic legal advice
Karen is very professional and personable in her demeanor when providing legal guidance.
