Karen Linda Shishem

Karen was very professional. She had everything in order. Made me feel very comfortable about my situation. This was my first divorce, I had no clue what I was doing and Karen made everything so smooth and simple. She never made me feel like any of my questions were stupid. She always made time for me or called me right back about any questions or concerns I had. She is an amazing lawyer and an amazing person.

Karen was a pleasure to work with. She took time to understand my situation on both a human and legal level. Keeping my and my son’s interests in mind, she skillfully navigated the process and was always several steps ahead of the other lawyer. The other party was outmatched. I highly recommend Karen and wouldn’t hesitate to hire her again, should need arise. Worth every penny.

Karen represented me with my child support case. She is compassionate and extremely knowledgeable. I was going through a stressful time in my life when I hired her. She made me feel confident and gave me the assurance that I was desperately seeking. She guided me throughout the whole process with constant updates. I highly recommend her.

I approached Karen L. Shishem Law Office unfortunately, about a divorce. From the start of communication with them, was nothing short of professional, punctual, and amazing. My phone calls were always answered, and if they weren’t, they’d be returned within an hour or two. They handled my divorce judgement free, and made something life turning, like this, as comfortable as possible. And nonetheless easier for me to deal with. When having to go directly to the office of Karen L. Shishem, I was always greeted with a professional “hello” from all the staff and didn’t have to wait an exaggerated amount of time to be seen. My divorce was quick, pain free, and easy thanks to the law office of Karen L. Shishem and I recommend anyone going through this sort of event to contact them. You will not be disappointed.

I had an excellent experience working with Karen. She was able to walk me through all of the ins and outs of my needs, explaining everything in the exact amount of detail that I wanted. When I would ask clarifying questions, she clearly articulated answers. She did a good job of helping me understand my choices and offering suggestions. She knew all the questions I didn't know to ask. If I ever need services in her specialty again, I wouldn't work with anyone else.

I hired Karen for my divorce case. I am so over the top appreciative, I don't even have enough words, her professional skills are amazing, her outstanding work, and her great communication with me! I was informed right away what was going on in my case. I am so grateful for having her by my side during this very difficult time for me, she treated me like a human being who was going through a hard time. I have felt protected and well represented! With Karen's help my case was solved quickly. I highly recommend her services. Karen, thank you so very much! Awesome work!

When I entered into my divorce, I had no idea where to start, so my brother asked his business attorney if she had a recommendation. Without hesitation, she said Karen Shishem. I’ve couldn’t be happier. Highly capable, responsive and always looking out for my interests. She also saved me lots of money. She’s the best.

I hired Karen to help me with a post divorce dispute regarding college expenses. My ex-wife wanted me to pay 100% of my daughters college expenses. Karen was able to provide the judge with convincing information that I never thought about! She was able to render 12 months of my ex-wifes lawyers paperwork as useless. It is so rare to find a professional who actually cares about the client!!! If you need an exceptional family lawyer, I highly recommend Karen.

Going thru a divorce was one of the most trying times in my life. I was so grateful that someone recommended Karen Shishem to me. Since our first initial meeting she has done nothing but guide me and fight for me every step of the way. Even times I was loosing hope all it took was one phone call to Karen to reassure me everything was going to be ok. She is an excellent attorney who always puts her clients best interest first. I have and will continue to recommend Karen Shishem to anyone who needs the best representation.

Karen is an exceptional lawyer and human being, she helped me through my divorce in a very professional and caring way, while the whole experience is not a pleasant one, Karen was there at all times, the way she handles the process is beyond expectation.

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, drawn 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 defending 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.

Karen was very cordial, knowledgeable, and reassuring of what she can do for me. My case was in good hands. I would highly recommend her to friends and family.

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 hired 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.
