Disappointed
Given the sensitive nature and life change that is divorce I was really looking for someone who would help ease my anxiety and give me much needed guidance.

An attorney with a strong moral compass
Karren has handled 3 cases for me, divorce, sale of a home and purchase of a new home. She is straight-forward, works for what she believes is a fair result, always available and easy to contact for questions, support, whatever you need. I always felt she had my back and I could trust her completely...
Karren Brower's Lawyer Endorsements
"Karren and I have had many difficult cases together. We do not always agree, but she is diplomatic, engaged, and sincere. She will listen to options, even if her clients want something different. While litigation is not the best route for family law, Karren does take the time to her job right."
"I endorse this lawyer."
"Karren is a very experienced and skilled attorney in the area of domestic relations. I have worked with Karren on several occasions and she has always been reasonable and professional as well as an excellent advocate for her clients."
"I endorse this lawyer. Karren is a very competent and professional attorney. Karren knows the attendant to the case that she is appearing on and Karren comes to Court prepared to move the case forward. Karren does not practice law by way of frivolous threats or demands. Karren has a plan in mind based upon her theory of the case and Karren implements that plan. Karren returns phone calls, e-mails and texts and will not leave your inquiry go unanswered. In the event I was in need of a family law attorney Karren would be my Attorney. Karren keeps her clients informed and is well respected by the beach she practices before and the bar she practices with."
"I endorse this lawyer. Karren is highly experienced and knowledgable. I recommend her for divorce/separation and related issues."
"Karren is always on top of her cases and is extremely knowledgeable. I would not hesitate to refer clients to Karren as I know they will be very well represented."
