HIghly Recommend

Divorce can be a frustrating process (and mine was no exception). Throughout it I had to fire one attorney before hiring the firm that Karen works for. My case changed when my attorney did. Karen was a steady hand in a process that is anything but. She took the time to answer all of my questions ...(there were many) and to discuss strategy. I always felt she was prepared, knowledgeable and willing to tell me what I sometimes did not want to hear. In the end, we ended up with a settlement that was fair. The financial portions were actually a bit more favorable than I would have settled so I was very happy with Karen's negotiation results. My bill was substantial but I can't hang that on Karen or her firm. Their fees are in-line with or even a little lower than other firms I looked into and I feel that I received first-class representation. My ex-wife and/or her firm seemed determined to draw out the process, which certainly increased the billable hours for both sides. If you are in need of a divorce attorney, I highly recommend Karen VanderMeer and Badesch Abramovitch, LLC.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
