I began working with Karen Ross while settling my father's estate taxes and then seeking advise for my personal family taxes. Karen took a lot of time educating me and gathering all relevant information to get my family the maximum tax advantages. I did not feel like I was being rushed through her office, but rather really listened to and that my situation was important to her. She was also very helpful and willing to answer follow up questions as I learned the processes. Highly recommend her.

Wise, Detailed, Compassionate
From working with Karen, I learned that she is patient and detailed in her work. She looked out for me by answering all of my questions and spending the time with me to go through the paperwork to present my case so that my case was presenting as strong and factual in the court of law. Dealing with my situation was stressful, but she kept working with me so that the details were all organized and that I could present my case in a confident manner. It is very apparent that she cares about the cases that she takes on. I am very grateful for her expertise in helping me.

I highly recommend Karen Ross for your legal needs.
After 22 years of marriage I was blindsided when I was served with divorce papers. From the first time I walked into Karen’s office she put me at ease. She is extremely knowledgeable of all rights and laws. She guided me through the entire process. She was available whenever I had questions or concerns.
