Would not hire for estate matters

Ms. Karls did not seem skilled in estate/probate matters. She was our attorney for over two years on what should have been an open-and-shut probate case. She did a poor job advising on estate matters, often giving conflicting advice to the executor and beneficiaries. No one was clear on what approxim...ate timelines were, what next steps were, and whether Ms. Karls was advising the executor. Her fees mounted and the probate deadlines got pushed back further and further until it was necessary to hire a different estate attorney. I would not hire Ms. Karls for any future legal matters, specifically anything probate related.

Knowledgeable, hard working and professional!

I met with a few other divorce lawyers around the Madison area but ended up choosing Nanette as my attorney. She was wonderful and treated me with care and compassion during a very difficult time in my life. Her knowledge and understanding of the ins and outs of divorce helped me feel confident in th...e outcome and I knew she was working hard for the best interests of me and my children. I would recommend Nanette and her office to anyone looking for an attorney and I would definitely hire her again for legal help in the future.

Not recommended

I hired Nanette Karls to handle my divorce proceedings in 2016. She is pleasant to talk to, but I had multiple issues with attention to detail, lack of communication and privacy issues. Multiple times, Atty Karls selected the wrong person in her email contacts when exchanging very private and confide...ntial documents about my divorce proceedings with my ex-husband and his attorney. The incorrect contact was a former client of hers, and he continued to receive information such as my social security number, name and address, financial information, etc. I brought these errors to her attention each time, but it continued to happen throughout the entire process. I would not return to Atty Karls for additional work.

Excellent and Thorough Service

I have had the pleasure of working with Ms. Karls for over 10 years on dozens of real estate transactions. She is thorough, creative and helpful when unique situations occur. I would not hesitate to recommend Nanette to friends and business acquaintances.

Wonderful Experience

Nanette and her team did a great job representing/guiding me thru my divorce. Using her numerous networks, she crafted a very fair agreement in a timely manner. I have already, and will continue to recommend her services.
