Probation Violation

Karie, I can't thank you enough for taking my case or should I say cases. You believed in my ability to fight my addiction. You showed me it was not hopeless that I still had a chance at life. I was facing 17 years @ 25 years old. My addiction started earlier than 2014. However, that was the year... it started going downhill. I have never been to rehab only a 120. On probation until I violated. The judge had said "Don't come back into my court room I have no problem sending you away". Here I was, a year and half later back addicted to drugs and living a life I wasn't proud of. My mom found Karie. That was the best thing that could of happened for me. Karie said "Believe in me like I believe in you and we both will be successful". When I first met Karie I was already waiting on my warrant to drop for probation violation. I'm not sure how she did it, but, she convinced me to turn myself in. Here's were the believing comes in. She would call, text my family, make multiple trips back and forth. For me someone she didn't know, "an addict". I'm clean and I can't thank her enough for me being this way. She has awesome resources, a big supporter of change, and the drug court program. She will fight like you are one of her family members. Day, night, and even when she's on vacation she's always there. She works magic. I have been told by several authority figures, "You have one great lawyer, I don't know how she does it."I know how she does it she is honest, affordable, and believes in second, even third chances. I wouldn't recommend anyone else but Karie.

hardworking caring lawyer!

Amazing. Keeps you informed and up to date. Has gotten me out of so much trouble and always gets me the best deals. Every case of mine she has worked has been amended and least amount of fines possible. Will go far and beyond for her clients and actually cares about each one. I can tell this is more ...than bussiness. She handles my cases as if it was her own. I recomend her before any one else and wouldnt go through any other firm. Thanks karie!

  • 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.
