I have gotten to know Karla, and her team leader Kate, over the past year through a group of like minded Elder Law and Estate planning attorneys, from across the country. Karla's knowledge, dedication and experience are first rate. Should I have clients with friends or family in the Delaware who need legal assistance, particularly with Medicaid or Veteran's benefits, I would tell them that the first person they need to speak to is Karla.

She is tremendously knowledgeable, but she really stands out for her ability to communicate with people, and to make complicated choices simple.
