About Kareen
Biography
As a former Los Angeles County District Attorney and Maricopa County Attorney in Sex Crimes, I've heard and seen it all. I've been helping families in crisis since 2006. I've spent my entire career in the courtroom and I know how to separate the truth from lies, and true controversies from insignificant drama. I know how to effectively present your side to a superior court judge. I'm in your corner and I will fight for you.
