Karen Louise Vaughn

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 received a fix-it ticket from the marine patrol on Lake Norman over a recent holiday weekend... My ticket clearly stated that the fines were not due for over a year so I did not even think of paying it til I was required.... Well the state of North Carolina saw it differently and issued a warrant f...or my arrest when they thought I should pay my fix it ticket fine when they wanted me to and not what my ticket clearly stated.... I hired Karen Vaughn to represent me in this matter immediately once I found out that a warrant was issued for my arrest... She was very quick and very knowledgeable to the laws of North Carolina and also went to the judge who issued the warrant and immediately got the warrant rescinded until my official court date... She is such a good lawyer I didn't even have to show up for court and was able to keep my small business running and not have to worry about court appearances, she handled all that for me... Best part is I got all charges dismissed, an apology from the court and of course all fines dismissed! I couldn't have asked for a better judgement in my small court case! Karen Vaughn went above and beyond what I thought I would get as legal representation and would recommend her to anyone and everyone who wants a professional, intelligent and knowledgeable lawyer on their side! I will definitely use her again if I ever need representation in court for me or any of my family. I know I have one of the best Lawyers in North Carolina on my side and that is a wonderful feeling to have in situations like that.

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.
