Karen A. Myatt

My case had a number of complex issues; custody, employment, stock options, tax, intrastate, and country, yet Karen was able to navigate each with ease and professionalism. Her initial approach was collaborative whereby each party has special training and certification with the intent on keeping fee...s and drama as low as possible. This speaks volumes as opposed to other attorneys I've used that literally calculate their fees as a % of the marital assets, no kidding. Karen will provide references to therapists, accountants, estate planners, everything you need to move past, and for the better, the life changing experience of divorce. I wholeheartedly endorse her.

Got me through a real mess without a lot of fuss and bother. Battled a crazy lawyer on the other side and my crazy x. Was honorable and honest. Billed fairly. Charged $50-100 less per hour than most lawyers with experience. Got me to help on discovery to keep my costs down. Good staff. Clients sen...d them postcards years later to stay in touch. Not typical

Karen Myatt and Myatt Law Center helped me through a very difficult 2 year period and eventual divorce. Karen and her staff were always there for me. At the beginning she helped me find a therapist for counseling for me and my children. She pointed me to community resources available for my special ...needs son.Later she referred me to a college resource to assist me in finding a job. I was a basket case for the year leading up to the divorce. She did not push me into filing for divorce. She listened. She urged that we try marriage counseling. When it did not work she helped me find the strength to file for divorce. I was kept up to date on my case. Karen sent me every piece of paper that came in or went out on my case. When I could not open the mail, I went in and met with her and her staff and reviewed it together. She provided resources, books and articles to read to help me through the emotional difficulty of separation and divorce. She treated my ex-husband with dignity at his deposition, but was very thorough in asking about his finances. I got a financial settlement I was very pleased with. She made sure to take good care of my children. It is not all about the money with her or her staff. They care about people.

After an initial great meeting, I hired Karen for my divorce. Once I signed a retainer agreement I rarely heard from her unless I called and nagged her office staff who always explained she was at some family emergency. Once my divorce was final, she charged me for a final closing letter which I neve...r requested or needed. The retainer agreement I signed clearly stated that If I wanted to discuss an invoice, I could contact Karen at anytime. That was not my experience. I contacted the office to dispute the final invoice and was told that the office would get back to me. No one ever did. I only kept receving invoices with late fees at random points in time, FInally, I was notified that the office was suing me for the final invoice. Not once did this office pick up the phone to discuss the final bill. Do not trust this attorney. She will charge you for correcting typos in her paperwork if you point them out to her. Dealing with this office was worse than my divorce 100 times over.
