Karen possesses compassion, grit, grace, as well as humanity, and she infuses her practice with each of those virtues. Her passion for justice has afforded her exposure to mental health awareness and treatment, addiction and crime, poverty crimes, racial bias in the courtroom, economic bias, and everything else that could possibly go wrong in an unassuming individual’s life after they are born. She is a strong supporter of recovery-based programs and alternatives to incarceration for people seeking relief from the burden of addiction.
Karen is a native of Manchester, England. And, if you need to know her team – “There’s Only One Color in Manchester and its RED!”

Performance Review
Karen did a great job with my case and helped guide me every step of way during the process. She had great communication with me while my case was being resolved and she was able to get 3 or of my 4 charges dropped. I would highly recommend her to anyone seeking legal help.

Above and beyond the call of duty!
I hired Karen for a family member and I simply cant say enough good things about her. I honestly didn't know what I was going to do, the going rate to have legal representation for this case was in and of itself overwhelming. A friend of mine recommended Karen. I am so freaking thankful!! Seriously ...
I enjoyed working with you so much. The prosecutors tried their hardest to keep him in jail! It was disgusting. However, with your support and my experience we fought the good fight. It was an absolute pleasure to meet you.
