Juvenile Law 50%

I practice in Juvenile Dependency Court which hears cases when the Department of Children and Family Services believes a parent or guardian has abuse or neglected a child. 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.

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.

"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."
