Outstanding Attorney

Karl D. Warden is an outstanding attorney. He warmly welcomed me and intellectually clarified all of the legal details of my case. He eagerly made it as easy as possible to fast track my personal injury case and he willingly worked with other lawyers from the state of Vermont to help me receive justice from a bodily accident. Very few lawyers these days have the charm, wit, and bravado as Karl Warden. Chivalry certainly isn’t dead with this wonderful professional!
