Posted by Richard | September 25, 2018 | Hired Attorney | Divorce & Separation

Divorce

Karen Leiser helped guide me through a divorce with several property settlement issues. She patiently explained the process and my options. She was understanding and supportive through extended negotiations. Her rate was very reasonable and I was not charged for anything that wasn't necessary.

Great divorce attorney

I would completely recommend her if you are looking for a divorce lawyer. She explains the details of the divorce process, which is helpful when you are unfamiliar with your rights. She understands that divorce is emotionally draining so she is very supportive. She can be tough and help you fight ...back when dealing with a difficult situation such as divorcing from someone who is abusive or manipulative.
