Karen A. Myatt

I saw Karen for a consultation after I had already spent over $20,000 wasting six months in court in fort lauderdale. I went to see her for a second opinion. She did not see dollar signs. She solved a problem. Unlike 2 other "super" lawyers in town, she told me the truth: I did not qualify for a ...Florida divorce and the case should not have been brought there. She gave me the name of a appeals lawyer who was outstanding but recommended that I file in another state. Later she sent a note with the name of a contact in the other state who was willing to talk. I called the guy. He was happy with his lawyer. I hired that lawyer. Since then the case was filed (outside of DC) and settled. It took half the time I wasted in Florida. I recommend this lawyer for Florida divorces.

I would highly recommend Karen Myatt. She and her staff are so attentive and help you through the process. There was no exessive fees or issues, they help you get to the bottom of things quickly and help you through the process. None of the drawn out divorce process you always hear about. She is exc...ellent in all areas.

It cost me over $18,000 and I still wasn't divorced at 1 1/2 years of going through the process. She never had time to explain the case with me, she was off to California everytime I needed her. She couldn't make court dates and had her husband fill in who is not a family law lawyer. She did not c...ommunicate with my ex-husbands lawyer, she was very hostile to them both. This caused many problems for me. Instead of bringing spouses together to come to a resolution, she stirred the pot and made it worse. It cost me alot of money and I was headed for court. She would not pick up the phone and call the other lawyer. I do not recommend this lawyer , she will make your situation a worse night mare.

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.

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.
