I had the pleasure of working with Karen and not only is she great at her job but Karen is dedicated and passionate about her client(s). I will always work with her and recommend Karen to others that need legal assistance. Not only did I find a experienced hard working lawyer but I also found a friend. I was never disappointed during our time together when we were working on my case.
The best, most down to earth legal, lawyer.... I have ever known. I am a firm believer,... " you get what you pay for". Thanks Karen. It won't let me put everything you have done for us up there, so everyone, let me just say, "It's a lot more then just child custody". Thanks again... :) J. Carle.
I opened the KMA Law Office in 2010 as a general practice firm that focuses on: automobile and work injury claims; and wills, trusts, estate planning and probate administration. KMA Law Office is a full service law firm which also assists individuals and business in the areas of foreclosures and debt collections.
I stay on top of the current issues and changes in the law with continuing legal education seminars on a regular basis. I started working in the legal legal profession over 20 years, as a paralegal in 1990, working with attorneys in the areas of criminal law, family law, personal injury and medical malpractice.Â

Fierce advocate, business advisor and counselor to her clients.
I was very pleased with Ms. Authement and her firms representation of me. She was a fierce advocate for my protection and well being. She stood her ground protecting my assets and fought for the results we wanted to see in the case. Frankly she saved me from myself in the end advising me it was time to settle, when I wanted to keep rolling on. She has also set up a company for me taking care of the license, trade name and federal tax id number. There was no doubt in my mind I got my moneys worth in the end every time with her. At no time did Karen ever refuse my calls, was late to return them, or treated me like I was not the most important thing on her list when I reached out to her. I am very happy to recommend her. In fact I have recommended several clients to her that have expressed back to me their satisfaction with her services.

Awesome Attorney
I went through 4 attorneys before I met Karen. She did more for me in 2 days then all the other attorneys tried to do in 6 years. She and Traci will get the job done! They always answer the phone and NEVER leave you hanging! Trust me they are the best!

Karen Authement, Esq is an attorney you can trust
I highly recommend Karen Authement as an attorney. She handled my aunt's guardianship case, which was not an easy case to handle in the county it was in, and made my life a lot easier.

A Great Lawyer Who Cares
Working with Karen was a pleasure she was very sensitive to my needs as a client and beyond. Karen was very determined and unrelenting when it came to handling my case. After such a long time and several other lawyers I finally found someone who would fight for me and my cause. So many other lawyers are more concerned with the easy route and Karen met things head on with enthusiasm. I will certainly continue to use Karen when needed and would absolutely recommend her to anyone.

I have referred several cases to Karen Authement over the years. I have found her to be extremely diligent, hard-working and honest. Karen knows how to get results and is very sensitive to the client's goals. I would strongly recommend Karen in civil litigation, personal injury or any other trial related matters.

Won my security deposit and damages from my landlord
Karen did an excellent job in gathering information from me, and other sources. Her presentation to the court of reason for the dispute was comprehensive. Ms. Authement won the case against a very difficult landlord.

"Karen is one of the most highly capable attorneys that I have worked with or against. She is knowledgeable and is communicative with her clients. I have referred clients to Karen and each person was pleased with the outcome of their situation."
Car accident Attorney | Dec 19

"Karen spent nearly a decade in the profession before becoming a lawyer. As someone who did the same, I understand how valuable that is to a lawyer. She knows how to do everything in every case she handles, and you can be confident that she will not just delegate or "dump off" the tedious tasks to low level employees that may overlook the finer and more important details in your matter. A great client advocate who keeps herself on point with all relevant updates in the law, as a member of several important organizations."
