Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"Karin Ciano is an active member of the Twin Cities legal community. She is generous with her time and knowledge among the local bar. As an attorney, I can tell Karin is a person that wants to see other people succeed and a person that is committed to ensuring that legal work is done the right way. I have observed Karin interact with one of her litigation clients, and she effectively communicated a complex process to this client while explaining the legal work that Karin was going to do to help this client. Based on my experience with Karin, I would recommend her for litigation in state and federal courts, as well as probate matters."

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.
