Great Family Lawyer! Thank you!

Attorney David Karp helped me with a family law custody issue in Milwaukee. He was responsive, knowledgeable, and although he didn’t make any promises, he knew the process very well and was always accurate and practical in the advice he gave. 5 stars without a doubt. Thank you Mr. Karp.

Posted by Barbara | May 03, 2018 | Hired Attorney | Personal Injury

One of the Best in the Business

When my husband had an excellent outcome on a personal injury claim years ago, having been represented by Jeffrey and David Karp following his injury in a collision with a large commercial truck, it was only natural that we would turn to the Karp & Iancu firm again to resolve a claim against an insur...ance company whose client slammed into our vehicle while we were stopped at a stop light. The insurance company was unresponsive and made an unreasonable offer to me based on my “inconvenience.” David Karp took our case, cut through the insurance company’s resistance, and resolved the claim to my complete satisfaction in a very short period of time. He was compassionate with my issues, yet showed a great deal of determination in seeing that I was properly compensated by an insurer that didn’t want to budge until Karp & Iancu got involved. This firm offers very little in the way of hype but demonstrates the highest level of legal expertise and resolve when it comes to protecting their clients’ interests. I couldn’t have found a better advocate.

Professional, Caring and Dedicated

I never expected to use the services of a divorce attorney. I was unfortunately thrown into that position; I am so thankful it was Attorney David Karp I chose to represent me. I interviewed multiple attorneys and chose Attorney Karp because he was straight forward, patient, honest and extremely kn...owledgeable. Attorney Karp took the time to get to know me and my case. He was an amazing advocate for me and my son. I didn't feel like just another file on his desk. He responded to my emails/phone calls in the same day when I needed to speak to him. His attention to my case allowed me to concentrate on what was important to me, my son. Attorney Karp and his assistant Vicki made me feel safe in a time when my world was crumbling around me. I was never in the dark on what was going on in my case. He worked tirelessly on my case and was always on top of what ever was thrown his way. Attorney Karp would email me immediately if anything was changing in my case. Conversations and preparations for my case were always well planned. It was evident Mr. Karp spent hours reviewing our information, so we were prepared for anything. When in court, he was always competent, organized and professional. If you are looking for an attorney that is intelligent, fair, compassionate and kind, Attorney Karp should be your choice. I have the upmost respect for Attorney Karp and recommend him with confidence that he will help you through your divorce . I cannot express enough appreciation and gratitude for Attorney Karp and Vicki. Thank you Attorney Karp from the bottom of my heart, you truly are an amazing person.

Excellent Divorce Attorney, Highly Recommended

I am a small business owner that unfortunately needed a divorce attorney. I was referred to attorney Karp because he had handled a friends divorce. I am so glad that I contacted David and decided he was the person I needed to handle my affairs. He knew exactly what needed to be done and was always ...prompt on taking care of things as they came up. I was never left not knowing what was taking place and what the next step would be. If you are unfortunate enough to be going through a divorce he is the attorney you want on your side. Thank You Attorney David Karp!

Knowledgeable, Professional, Competent, Compassionate, Connected

My divorce was as bad as they come and picking out a good Attorney is a tough thing to do. I know I hired and fired 2 of them, both a male and female before finding Attorney Karp. Long story short they caused a lot of damage to my case along with long and short-term monetary loss. Wrong decisions ear...ly on in a case can cause irreversible damage and loss time. David is knowledgeable with over 30 years of experience; he knows the system and how to negotiate it. He knows the players and deciphers their moves well. He is professional and it is clear to everyone. He is proficient and that will save you money. He is compassionate about his work and his clients and that’s important. My father told me once "learn from my mistakes" so learn from mine, the work finding an attorney is done for you, hire David and trust that he is the best!
