Posted by BSRD | April 28, 2017 | Hired Attorney | Child Custody

Sincere 100% Vested in Client

I'll preface with a bad drug addiction on mother. I went to two lawyers that said I had no case. I went to Kara and she did not wink and took my case. Kara ensured my daughters needs were first even when I swayed and was indecisive to "make the call" she stood by me. Being decreed Full Child Cust...ody privileges for a male is not easy; in fact, it's quite the opposite. Given the sad nature of why this even came about (addiction), Kara was my rock. She will not treat you like a client. To be treated as a person in a time of need is not taught in any law school. It's called humility and she has that. And her network on the legal side is expansive. Just that alone gives her an edge apart. Kara represented me 100%. She will do the same for you. Highly recommended from a father and his daughter who will never be separated.

Mrs.Borcher was very proactive with my case. I'm greatful for the outcome of my case. I will recommend her to my friends and family. Thanks

She instills confidence.

I have hired Kara twice to handle family law cases. Each time she has been knowledgeable and very thorough. In both instances I received a satisfactory resolution of my case. She shows a genuine concern for her client's best interest and works very hard to achieve the best outcome possible.

Helpful and easy to work with

Ms. Borchers Jones was extremely helpful and answered all of my questions. I had a successful divorce with minimal stress thanks to her professionalism.

Excellent Advice

Ms. Borchers handled my divorce quickly and efficiently. I had utmost trust in her knowledge and experience. She was very caring and understood what a difficult time I was going through. I've worked for many attorneys, and many family law attorneys. Ms. Borchers respected my experience and never m...ade me feel that my input was unwanted.

"I endorse this lawyer. I have known Kara for several years, and I have been impressed with her passion for family law and dedication to her clients. In fact her dedication is so apparent to other lawyers in the community that others go to her for advise. She is ethical and works very hard to obtain the best possible outcome for her clients.
