Karen Louise Vaughn

I have walked out of many attorney offices thinking I just got robbed of $150 PLUS. So I always do my research before hiring an attorney in the future or a must need now attorney. Her hourly fees are very fair. Karen does not make promises she cannot deliver, but can give you the best outcomes and... the worse outcomes so you are prepared. Karen also states that someone will always get back to me one way or another and in some legal situations you have to have patience. Because it can take time. For an attorney to take the time to tell me this, is truly an honest attorney that will do her very best and make you feel like you are being taken care of. Will recommend to anyone who may need an attorney!

VERY DISSAPOINTED IN ATTORNEY VAUGHN. MY NEW & CURRENT ATTORNEY TOOK LESS THAN 3 DAYS TO DO MORE FOR OUR CASE THAN SHE DID IN 3 MONTHS. SHE ALSO SENT HER PARTNER TO A SCHEDULED MEETING. HER PARTNER WAS UNPREPARED AND UNFAMILIAR WITH OUR COMPLAINT. SHE SEEMED FRAZZLED AND MY HUSBAND & I DID SIGNIFI...CANTLY MORE TALKING & DEFENDING OF OURSELVES THAN THIS ATTORNEY. WE PAID A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT UPFRONT AND THE MONEY WAS SPENT ON EMAILS (SHE CHARGES FOR ALMOST EVERY EMAIL WRITTEN & READ). I HAD ONE INVOICE THAT SHOWED THE EXACT # OF EMALS AND HOW MUCH TIME SHE SPENT ON THEM. THESE EMAILS PRIMARILY WERE IN) REGARDS TO WHETHER THERE HAD BEEN ANY CONTACT WITH THE OTHER PARTY IN THE CASE. WEEKS WOULD GO BY WITHOUT ANY UPDATES. WHEN I EMAILED HER, I ALMOST ALWAYS GOT A BLANKET RESPONSE SAYING THEY WERE PLAYING PHONE TAG WITH THE OTHER ATTORNEY. AFTER THREE MONTHS, WE DECIDED TO HIRE NEW REPRESENTAITON, WHO HAS BEEN MUCH MORE PROFESSIONAL & MUCH MORE AFFORDABLE. HE HAS ALREADY DONE MORE TO DEFIEND OUR CASE, AND MAKE CONTACT WITH THE OTHER PARTY'S ATTORNEY WITHIN 3 DAYS.

I hired Patricia to defend my case. She agreed to defend my case. Took payment. And stated she would defend my case and not hand it over to her associate attorney that she had hired. I went over my case with Patricia. Patricia turned my case over to Karen at a critical time. Karen and Patricia never ...notified me that Karen was handling my case. A few days before my case was to be heard, Patricia stated she was going to be in court with me to defend my case. The day of my case Patricia was no where to be found. Karen came out with a plea deal and stated "We have never had a client that was not guilty." Karen was unprepared to defend my case. I do not recommend them.

Ms. Vaughn is a knowledgeable and competent attorney, and one of the very few attorneys specializing in education law in North Carolina. Her background as a special education teacher in the public schools is invaluable to her deep understanding of the issues faced by parents with special needs childr...en in the public schools. Ms. Vaughn was able to prepare as an expert witness in a child custody case for which my child’s IEP and educational setting was an important factor. I would highly recommend Ms. Vaughn as a true special needs child advocate.

There are no words that can express how thankful and grateful I am for finding such a committed, dedicated, and compassionate attorney. My son was having major issues with his school on implementing his IEP so much so that I felt I was losing my mind but all that changed when Atty. Karen L. Vaughn to...ok our case. I have nothing but great things to say about her and her service- there is none like her. We are still pursuing our case but with her expertise and dedication in what she loves there is no need to look any further. She is there EVERY STEP of the way.
