Karen Schuller Boardman

Karen was referred to us from a previous connection. She was very helpful at first helping us get all of our trademarks in order. We know nothing about this process and relied heavily on our legal team to explain and handle this facit of our business. Karen left her company to start this one. Since ...that change the support we recieved also changed. Our communication all but ceased. After several unanswered emails my business partner got salty, instead of owning the communication issue as mutual she threatened to "fire us". After talking her off a ledge we continued our relationship but with little to no communication. I sent over 20 unanswered emails trying to pay a bill that she said she sent but was never received. Even after multiple emails expressing that we haven't received tje bill no phone call to us was ever returned. You would think she wanted the money. Finally I called her office and just hit numbers until I got someone to accept my payment. Margaux was great! However there was an issue with our card which caused a fine because we missed deadline. I didn't fully understand what happened since I am missing info from Karen but instead of helping me get this paid she fired us again. I would not recommend working with her unless you know the TM process ama just need someone with a legal stamp to do it for you. She did not give us the impression that she cares to be anything but a legal stamp for her clients as she does the ball on us more times than I can count. Now with no reason we are left with 8 days to find someone to renew our TM before we lose it instead of her just taking our new card info.

I reside in Virginia, and after the unexpected death of my mother in North Carolina, I needed to find legal guidance to assist me with Estate processes in NC. Karen provided expert advice, guidance, and direction through all aspects of the process. She and her team are professional, conscientious, ...knowledgeable, and trustworthy. During a very difficult period in my life, I consider myself extremely fortunate to have found Karen - a trusted expert.

Karen Boardman assisted me in the registration of my trademark. From the first time I met with Karen I felt confident that I was being advised correctly, and in accordance with the law. Karen answered all my questions and provided me with options and guidance throughout the process. Karen was very fr...iendly, efficient, and professional and I have no hesitation in referring Karen to anyone looking for legal advice regarding trademarks.

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.

I am extremely pleased with Karen Boardman's efforts and the services she provided to me. As a new small business owner, I was nervous about my pursuits and how to proceed. She met with me via a convenient zoom platform and listened to my thoughts and concerns and provided insightful answers and guid...ance. She is pleasant and easy to speak with. She was very responsive and her services were high yield and a good value. I highly recommend her!
