Knowledgable, Professional and Fair

Karen provided consultation services to me over 15 years ago and was amazing. She was helpful, very patient and kind during my legal proceedings. In 2012 I went back to Karen for legal assistance. She was unavilable for my court date but provided me with a list of attorney's she would recommend, bu...t she was always available if I needed her help with any of the issues with my case. I retained a different firm and regret it completely. Once the divorce was over and the other firm substituted out of my case, I retained Karen for the custody issues. Karen and her staff are easy to talk to, reliable and very knowledgable about Family Law. Karen has always been fair, not just to me but to both parties, ensuring the children are the number one priority in the case.

Estate planning

After years of procrastination my wife and I began planing our estate (estate planning). Attorney Krause was very open, and thurough. We had been to two other attorneys; when we met Karen Krause we felt confident that our esstate had been planned specifically to our liking. She is also doing our ...will.

I highly recommend Karen Krause

Karen Krause was my attorney for my divorce. A mutual friend who is an attorney in another field recommended Karen. My ex, myself and our two lawyers had a last minute negotiating session. Witnessing Karen in action really impressed me. Her preparation was excellent. She has a great mind for deta...ils and she is a tough (but always polite) negotiator. She was so much better then the other lawyer - she knew every detail of my case and fought for me all the way. Karen told me frankly what she expected and why things would happen. My being prepared made me much more confident and clam. I would hire her again with great confidence. I highly recommend Karen Krause.
