Corporation and Estate Law

We feel so lucky to have been introduced to Karen for our estate law needs and corporate needs. After moving to NC from California, we needed guidance in estate law planning, and in setting up a corporate entity in NC. Karen truly went above and beyond. In no uncertain terms, she went out of her ...way to get us what we needed. Not only was her skill and professionalism exemplary, her kindness and compassion was ever present. We are grateful to have Karen as our attorney, and recommend her highly without hesitation.

Excellent and Committed Attorney

I was very impressed and pleased with the work Attorney Karen Boardman did to help our church organization achieve 501c3 status. She was very professional and committed to the task. She would consistently get back with us during the application process in a very timely manner. I highly recommend Att...orney Karen Boardman for her exceptional legal services.

Good Job with our SCorp Records and LLC Creation

Karen Boardman helped our family's SCorp update our corporate records about 8 months ago. She was personable, easy to communicate with, and through the work of her and her office staff, we now have the backlog of corporate paperwork legally "straightened up". She also set up the legal structure for... our new LLC and was helpful in answerering our many emailed questions for a very reasonable fee. I can easily recommend her services.

Friendly and Thoughtful

I met Karen through a local professional network and liked how approachable she was about ideas and questions. When I decided to create my own business, Karen was thoughtful and attentive to details in establishing Versola Studios LLC. Today, I have what I need to continue to grow my business in the ...Durham-Chapel Hill area.

Contracts, Reincorporation, and IP protection

My company Vocable Communications reached out to Ms. Boardman needing help drawing up contracts for client engagements. After speaking with her and hearing first hand her knowledge and expertise, we decided to hire her as a test to create a contract template. She talked to us about what our new busin...ess was to better understand what kind of protections would need to be in our contract and suggested additional items we weren't aware of. We had such a good experience with her that we hired her for help reincorporating in NC, which led us to having her review our operating agreement. She found some spots in our OA that needed buttoning up and helped us navigate a disgruntled partner. Now we use her services for all our legal needs including independent contractor agreements, IP protection, and new client contracts. Overall she has consistently exceeded our expectations with every interaction and done so efficiently and professionally. I highly recommend her.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
