Experienced, kind, ethical, efficient, highly respected, strategic and a really nice person

I preface this by saying I am an attorney myself, so have little tolerance for inefficiency, lack of knowledge and suspect billing practices. Karim, and his staff, Christy, Tracy and a great consulting accountant led me thru a complicated, painful and difficult divorce. Simply everything they did was... above and beyond what I had anticipated. Karim was smooth, respectful and professional with opposing counsel, and at our number of arbitrations w/ the arbitrator, who also clearly respected him. He was able to put together a settlement that made me very, very happy after negotiating several perilous legal issues, which were all resolved in our favor. His billings were fair and precise, and he advised me where and when we could cut costs. He advised me on issues outside of the divorce, and continues to do so to this day. I was unfathomably lucky to have found him, and have recommended him to anyone in a similar position.

5 Stars in an understatement. Karim is a 10+ Stars Attorney

I hired Karim to handle a very complicated divorce case after I had worked with two different attorneys prior to him and they failed me. Karim is extremely intelligent, very proactive and very clam. I felt form start to finish that I am in good and honest hands. I knew, all along, Karim will do his ...best for me. Hands down he is one of the best family law attorney's in the State of MN and beyond. He is very reasonable in his billing and extremely fair. Divorce cases are never fun but working with Karim was a relief and I could have not asked for a better outcome.

Very good experience!

Karim and his staff were very responsive to all my questions and concerns as it pertained to my divorce. I felt he was very fair with his billing hours and rates, and would highly recommend his services.

The Best Divorce Attorney in the Twin Cities

The Best! A++ Karim's wisdom, insight and knowledge helped guide me through this very difficult time. Karim has an ability to keep the discussion flowing in the correct direction. A direction which allowed me to come to a fair resolution in a timely manner at an extremely reasonable price. I have ...and will continue to give Karim the highest recommendation to anyone seeking family council. Tom Madden

worst attorney

Karim charged me close to $40,000 for my divorce and custody hearing and did pretty much nothing. He did not prepare me for any of the court hearings or mediation meetings. He did not have any strategy and did not explain the law and what to expect. The only thing he said was to say positive thing...s and that did not work at all. I do not believe he knows the law well and he does not know what arguments the court expects to hear. he is the worst attorney.
