Knowledgeable and Kind

Karen has an amazing and kind spirit. She is very honest and reasonably priced. I'd go as far to say she's not like any other lawyer, she is the type of lawyer you don't dread getting a bill from. We have used her for the past decade for our business and never feel price gouged like we have by many o...ther attorneys. Most recently she even referred us to another attorney when things got complicated with our Commercial lease. Karen specializes in probate and wills. If you are looking for a down to earth lawyer who states things in a way you can understand them. I would choose Karen. She makes you feel at home in her casual, yet professional office.

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.
