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.

White Collar Family Court Thug in Chester County, PA
As part of my advocacy with Parents Against Racketeering Attorneys, I want to warn others about my personal experience with Karen Reynolds.
