Very unprofessional

Retainer’s fee is $7,000 dollars and more and you will owe over 10 grand even if she does nothing with your case, she makes sure that the money given to her for a retainer fee does not come back to you and she will say that you owe some how. She mistaken’s your case for other cases because yours does... not matter. She does not care about your case once she gets the retainer fee. Does not answer emails. Or calls. Find a lawyer who genuinely cares. And wants to get your child back and wants to help you. This lawyer takes money and does nothing for you. Very money hungry. Excessive fake fees and Fake billing statements. Now I am having to dispute her and her billing in court.

RESULTS QUICKLY

Juliann Karenko did a fantastic job with my divorce. With the lawsuit she drew up I was able to get what I needed from my x-husband. He responded quickly due to the results if he did not abide by the orders. I received my divorce as soon as possible. Consequently, I have a new beginning.

The most exceptional legal team

I became a client of Karenko Law Firm to seek legal support in January 2014. Throughout the legal process of my divorce, Ms. Karenko not only walked me through the day to day procedures and provided me with weekly up-dates, but also gave me the confidence that having The Karenko Law Firm’s winning te...am at my corner would safeguard my future. Ms. Karenko and her team did not just process my family dispute, from the very first day, I was treated as a member of their own family and they ran extra million miles to make sure their client is legally protected. Her Team, especially well educated and professional Ms. Kay Schnake, provided me with accurate legal advice during the past 12 months. They supported me to make sure that I made the right decisions. Ms. Karenko and her team have proven themselves to be exceptionally dependable when it comes to serving their clients. I highly recommend them, feeling they would be an outstanding asset to anybody seeking legal assistance. Please feel free to contact me with your questions.
