If I could leave 10 stars I would

I will forever be grateful to Karen. She did an amazing job on my very long complex divorce and truly looked out not only for me but for my kids as well. Karen is extremely knowledgeable of the law. She is amazing and I highly recommend.

Posted by Debra | September 10, 2019 | Hired Attorney | Divorce & Separation

Absolutely the best!

I worked with Karen for over 5 years, on a very contentious divorce/custody battle. If you’re looking for a touchy-feely, sweet attorney? She is NOT your girl. Lol But she is TOUGH & knows the law exceptionally well. She works well with other attorneys (my ex was fired by NINE attorneys), asks judges... for what she believes is fair, & gets it! Not only did I receive primary placement & sole custody (decision making) of our son, but she asked for a portion of her expenses & the GAL’a be paid by my ex. It was approved. I was also granted permission to move out of state. Highly recommended!

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.
