Karen Linda Shishem

Karen handled my divorce. It was a very trying time in my life, I wasn't sure which direction to turn. Karen guided me through the process, keeping me informed every step of the way. She was incredibly smart, kind and compassionate through the whole procedure. She is tough! She fought hard for me.... I always felt like I was in good hands. People had warned me about lawyers taking advantage of you, but I can assure you, I felt the opposite! I trusted her to take care of my best interest at every crossroad. She made a horrible time, more tolerable. I liked and trusted her so much, I hired when I sold my home a few years later.

I hired Karen Shishem to handle my divorce case in 2017 and she was wonderful. She's quick to respond, incredibly easy to speak with and extremely knowledgeable. She listens to her clients and strives for the an outcome that's the best for them. The end result of what could have been a messy, dr...awn out situation was an amicable agreement that both parties were satisfied with. Which was something I didn't think would have been possible when beginning the process and dealing with my ex's lawyer. I cannot recommend highly enough.

I do not know where to start. Karen has fought every battle for me for the past 2 years and she has not only had she won every single time, she helped me cut down costs and made the other party pay for my attorney fees. Once she started working I felt comfortable because I felt like she was defe...nding me as a friend would not a typical lawyer who just totaled the time and sent bills. She went above and beyond her services and continues to give me legal advice but also advice in life. I was in a horrible custody battle and because of her technique and experience in knowing what to go for and when, we were able to anticipate every move and by it head on to have the outcome in my favor. For anyone who reads this, always remember when you are going into battle, you HAVE to have a 5 star general at your side if you plan to win the war.

This lawyer is honest, ethical, and very smart. She reviewed the copious paperwork for my ongoing divorce case and advised that she felt certain things could have been handled differently or should have been done better. She said she would take my case if she were able, but my soon to be ex had hir...ed a multi-attorney firm and she was a one person shop. So, she very ethically referred me to a very excellent attorney David Pasulka (and his associates). They've done a great job so far, and I'm about to finalize my divorce after my husband and his attorney have dragged it out over a year. And I have Karen to thank for this. I wanted to let people know that this attorney genuinely cares about the law and her clients. Her understanding was stellar and she called the other firm to help with the arrangements for hiring new counsel. I'd recommend her to others wholeheartedly. She is a true professional.
