Karen Marie Lavin

Hired Karen. Had a very simple child support and parenting order drawn up. There was no disagreement with my ex. Karen tried to bleed me dry. To many people working in the case things getting confused.. John late for court. Karen had order all messed up had to redo it few times and then charging me ...for it. Had a phone conference with her she didn't remember having but she charged me for the phone conference. Would cost me to get straightened out.

Both John and Karen are just out there for MONEY. Worst professionals out there. I hired them for my divorce case. 6 months into the case, where the opposite attorney was running the show,all Karen did was pressurize ME and NOT NEGOTIATE or FIGHT for me. At the end after spending close to 20 K I CHAN...GED lawyers. I wish I could go into every detail, I could write a book on her and john. STAY AWAY AND SAVE YOUR HARD EARNED MONEY.

First of all, she did not honor our oral contract on what I wanted to spend. She charged more than the case was worth. She never sent bills in the mail. She billed for her time when I had an associate. After six months doing nothing, her associate did research on my case "the day before trial." ... As it was, my ex negotiated with me to end this. I would not send my worst enemy to this firm. I have dealt with a couple lawyers before, and I should have stuck with one of them! There are attorneys that work for you, and attorneys that sit back and do nothing. She is the latter! Beware!!!

Would give her zero review if we could. She is not competent. It does she do attention detailed work. Since she represented us in an MSA we have had to spend 50 k to fix her shotty work. I our opinion she was the worst attorney we hired out of 5. We are still in court foxing her neglegiance. Not a ni...ce or honest woman, again, in our opinion. Stay away!

I feel it is my due diligence to post a review to forewarn others to avoid this law practice. My uncontested divorce was utterly painful due to their lack of follow through. My file was misplaced and my calls and emails were rarely returned. The new client paperwork was never given to me and I was ...later berated by Karen herself regarding my incompetence as a divorce client. What married woman knows how child support is processed? I have never heard so many excuses and never an apology for such a fouled up case. A year after my divorce finalized I am finally done with all the outstanding paperwork due to all the typos and errors. ..wrong names (another clients), conflicting dates, and incorrect addresses were used. Learn how to cut and paste to make accurate documents. Have a heart Karen and treat your clients with respect. And learn to accept your firms mistakes and amend them. Enough knocking people when they are down, what you did to me was absolutely heartless. I hope you and John have learned from your mistakes in my case and will no longer treat a client as you did me. Wish someone had let me know before I hired them. Good riddance!
