Worse Lawyer
I hired Kari to get divorced and help me with my kid and all she did was charge me $7500 and when my money was gone she withdraw from my case. She don't care about nobody but her and her pocket and now I got nothing and about to lose my kid. Worse lawyer you could hire
Kari Cornelison
Replied last September 10, 2018Michael, I did not withdraw from your case because the money was gone. Your retainer was not depleted. In fact, I refunded the remainder of your retainer to you immediately. I withdrew from your case because you were not honest with me and I was not able to represent a client that I could not trust and that would not follow my advice. I am sorry your case is not going in the manner in which you would prefer, but you are responsible for your own actions. Good luck to you in the future and please be honest with the third attorney you hire to represent you.

I retained Kari Cornelison to assist me in my collaborative divorce, she was wonderful! I was nervous at the start of the process and wasn’t sure what to expect but Kari’s vast knowledge in the law and her compassionate personality helped not only put me at ease but got me the best settlement option ...

Divorce
I am very satisfied with Ms.Cornelison. She listened to my story, applied her vast knowledge of marital law to the facts of the case, and then was able to structure a fair settlement to both sides.
