Karen A. Myatt

Karen Myatt is a true professional. Back in 2003 I interviewed 3 different attorney's to represent me in my divorce. Karen's passion, sincerity, honesty and knowledge won me over. Retaining and hiring her was by far the best decision I ever made in my life. My divorce was quite unique. Karen took me... under her wing and looked after my best interests. My divorce was completed in a timely fashion. In 2007 I hired Karen once again to represent me in a child custody / child support case. Once again, she went "all out" and I now have had full custody of my children and get child support. I have considered Karen "my guardian angel" since I met her. I highly recommend Karen Myatt and Myatt Law Center for any family matters.

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.

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.
