Pleasure to work with

Karl was very patient, understanding and kind. Bankruptcy after divorce is very scary, Karl made the process easy to understand and was there step by step. Could not imagine a nicer guy to help me with such a lifechanging event. Thank you Karl. And Anna, wow she is just as kind, patient and under...standing. Was pleasure working with you both.

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.
