I represent parents, guardians, relatives, foster parents and prospective adoptive parents in all aspects of dependency court. It is a very specialized field of law and has special discovery and trial rules. I also practice adoption law within the overview of juvenile law.

NEVER GIVES UP!!

Karen was my attorney for over a year and she is one of 'THE BETTER ONES" she fought for me while being compassionate and understanding to my situation. She gave me a price that I could afford. If it wasn't for her I may not be with my son today. She went out of her way, extremely above and beyond f...or me and my family. Unlike other attorneys she followed through with all my requests and always made herself available to me, I recommend her to those in need especially with a DCFS case, she knows the ropes and is not afraid to stand up for you. I appreciate how much she has done for me and wish I could do more to thank her. There truly is not any attorneys out there as kind, honest , reliable and knowledgeable is Karen Green-Rose.

Compassion and knowledgeable

Ms. Rose is knowledgeable. But, she is blessed with the gift of compassion and that is what you want in a person is compassion for your family to be reunited. So, if you want to hire a person, hire Ms. Rose.

Incredibly Unprofessional

I did a lot of research to find Karen and took a very long time to get the money to retain her because I'm not rich. Throughout this period I continued to contact Mrs. Rose for reassurance that she would still take my case. I hired Karen only to have her back out on me at the very last minute, 8 hour...s before court. This was after communication with Karen drastically failed. She become incredibly unprofessional and started using her negotiation skills to put me down as I was attempting to understand the legal process. She refused to hear anything I was saying and put her own spin (like gaslighting) on what I would ask or try to communicate. (If I ask "Can we do XYZ?" then the response shouldn't be attack on me personally or my past.) Phone call follow-ups were inconsistent and communication was difficult. She made promises she couldn't keep and ultimately sold me an idea about my case only to completely change that idea later (using double speak to sell me her idea and then doing something completely different after hiring). If you are a busy professional any attempts to stay organized will be met with hostility with this attorney. Please find representation elsewhere.

Karen Rose Has Both Brains and Heart

I called EVERYONE and I mean everyone, the ACLU, even, to find representation for my legal dilemma. I was in the dark and was up against a wealthy, private institution, regarding their discrimination of me as a disabled person en route to finish my Master's program. Mrs. Karen Rose, who promptly e-...mailed me the very same day that I received a referral for her, was very helpful from the get-go; she got back to to me immediately, exceeding my expectations as a counsel for my plight. She always responded to my inquiries in a timely fashion and also calmed my worries about the nature of the case. I felt safe and most of protected. Without having to get into too many details about my personal case, I would have to say that Mrs. Karen Rose---lawyer, mother, wife----is an exemplary person who cares about her clients because she possesses empathy for the vulnerable. How she believed in the rightful continuation of my education assisted me in re-coordinating my perception of who I was up against. She knew I wanted to finish my degree) and advised me on all the steps that were required to issue an internal complaint against the university as well as contact the US Department of Education for a formal investigation of school. She met with me in person; she even offered me her legal services pro bono because I am 135% above the poverty line and she perceived that my plight was unique: that I needed legal help, one way or another, while everyone else had already turned away from me (mostly likely because they couldn't get a dime out of it). Ms. Rose's professionalism, her kindness, her pragmatism and her knowledge of the law helped me---as a client---sway an entire room of university bureaucrats from an ill-favored disadvantage to a favorable outcome, wherein I was given the opportunity to finish the education that I so desperately wanted to receive, particularly as it pertains to the completion of my degree. She help me understand the law better; I know now what my rights are under the ADA; I also know what to do should anything similar happen, God forbid, in the future in regards to my circumstances. I think the real strength that Ms. Karen Rose has is that she treats you with dignity, almost as if you were an extended part of her family and she guides you and defends so that your the outcome of your case is in your favor. Hence, rather than being perceived as an obstacle to the university's bureaucracy, I became a success, not a burden to the school, all because of Ms. Karen Rose's help. She was understanding; and for this I am grateful. I highly recommend her to anyone who has legal needs within her areas of expertise.. From an objective standpoint, looking in, as if from outside, it clear that Ms. Rose does all she can for her clients. She is not a fraud. I learned that part of the process is what I bring to the table as a client, too. Therefore, let it be known that if you are willing to fight for case with Karen, you are in good hands, should you choose to accept the process. Law is not a joke. Entire lives and fates are on the line; and in my case, Ms. Rose did everything in her power to ensure I was well-taken care of and was protected. With utmost clarity, I give this attorney 5 stars across the board. ;) Thank you and best of luck in your endeavors seeking an attorney.

"There are givers and takers and Karen is a giver. 17 years of experience with five as a public defender, a judges clerk and a great deal of indigent representation all point to her giving persuasion. She continues that through her pro bono contributions here. Her knowledge of both the law and procedure is excellent. Client reviews are stellar. READ THEM! Do yourself a favor and schedule a consultation."
