Posted by Sharon | June 06, 2016 | Hired Attorney

Awesome Attorney

When you really need to get something done, Karen is the best! She has handled two matters for me, one sensitive and the other urgent - and she successfully completed both missions with tact, accuracy, and speed. Of critical importance to me, she LISTENED to me. I talked to other attorneys before I t...alked with and hired Karen, and it was clear that their missions and mine did not match. After talking with Karen, my despair dissipated - I knew I had found someone who could take on my burden and fix it. And she did. She also kept in constant contact and responded quickly to both phone and email conversations. I always knew where my cases stood and I always felt like my questions were welcomed.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
