Karen Lynn Johnson

Karen Johnson is an unethical Attorney! Ms. Johnson served as the mediator for my divorce several years ago. Neither my wife nor I had an attorney, and we went to Ms. Johnson to draw up fair custody and other agreements, and to act as an impartial mediator so we could avoid a contentious divorce. ...Karen Johnson was anything but fair and impartial. All throughout the process, I kept wondering "Why does this seem really biased toward my ex-wife??" Well, I found out. At the end of day two, right before we set to sign the final paperwork, Karen Johnson reveals that her husband works with my ex-wife at the same elementary school. I don't have many regrets in life, but the fact that I didn't immediately walk out of her office and file a bar grievance is one of them. Talk about an unethical attorney. She had no business handling this case, and should have informed me of this conflict from the very beginning. She knew where both my ex-wife and I worked within the first five minutes of meeting us. Years later, my ex and I wound up in court, fighting over this agreement that Karen Johnson wrote. Lawyers from both sides could not believe how skewed the agreement was, and how poorly it was drafted. Her order invited litigation at a later date. If you are thinking of hiring this attorney, you may want to think twice. Obviously, she knows no ethical boundaries. If you are looking for a fair and impartial mediator, you should probably pass as well. Karen Johnson cost me thousands in legal fees with her bogus arrangements, and didn't seem to care about the pain her malfeasance caused two families down the road. It's too late for me to go back in time, so a wee bit o' internet shame for Ms. Johnson is my only solace. Attorney Karen Johnson of Stuart, Florida concealed a known conflict and acted unethically. Think twice before you hire her in any legal capacity.
