Never refer again

I have worked in family law for over 25 years. When my cousin needed an attorney, I recommend Karen. I would NEVER recommend her again. She was a complete disappointment including her office and paralegal staff. Stay clear of her!

Blessed to have hired Karen Steger

I am so thankful to Karen Steger and her staff. I suffer from PTSD due to an abusive 23-year marriage. I was so scared to file for a divorce. I quit on Karen a few times but she never quit on me. She got me the best settlement she could under difficult circumstances. You are not just a client to Kare...n because she cares about you as a person. I know I was very difficult for her to deal with. She took this all in stride and forged ahead. I think the fee she charged was reasonable and she allowed me to make payments. I truly owe Karen my life as she set me free from a nightmare. She is extremely well versed in the law and presents herself as a true professional. Please do not hesitate to hire Karen Steger she changed my whole life and she will do the same for you!

Divorce Lawyer

I hired the best divorce lawyer, Karen Steger. Once you retain Karen Steger, she and her office staff, will start working for you by serving your soon to be ex as quickly as possible. Make sure you contact the office for any questions, such as, to get clarity about filling out the packet, if you need... to put a temporary ‘hold’ on the serving process because unexpected things came up, when will your stbx get served, and/or general questions about the divorce process. The office welcomes your communication so they can do the best for your situation during this difficult time.

Ms. Steger is Amazing!

Ms. Steger is extremely intelligent and well informed in her area of law. She makes her clients feel comfortable, relaxed, and confident. She was very successful with my case which turned out to be much more complicated than either of us originally anticipated, but because of her expertise in all a...spects of family law, I know I couldn't have hired anyone who could have advocated better for my family and me. I have recommended her to friends and do not hesitate to recommend her as an attorney. She also is careful not to waste your money by doing or recommending unnecessary work, but if you feel the need to speak with her, her office personnel will work to accommodate you by fitting in a phone or one-to-one conference.

The Best

If you find yourself in a very difficult situation and need a dynamic attorney, retain Karen Steger. She and her group are the best. Karen knows all the ins and outs of the law but at the same time is very caring. I retained her at one point but dismissed the divorce. Many years later I returned ...and she remembered my entire case without notes. That was impressive. She saved me financially and was very supportive of my emotional situation. Don't waste money and time looking around - just call Karen.
