Karen R. Lane

WARNING: My experience with Santa Monica Adoption Attorney, Karen R. Lane, was absolutely horrendous. Let me preface by stating that I am writing this review to save other adoptive parents the pain and suffering that I went through with this lawyer. This is not a vengeful review; it is a factual rev...iew. Simply put, she collected approximately $6,000. from me then immediately disappeared on a vacation for two weeks. Karen Lane made promises that she did not keep, she showed no interest in answering my questions and, straight out, requested that I not call her. Her conduct was unprofessional, dishonest and condescending. I have since connected with others, adoption professionals as well as adoptive parents, who have had similar (and much worse) experiences with Karen R. Lane. After terminating the relationship a few weeks in, Karen R. Lane refused to refund any of my money. I suspect that more people are not speaking out because or this lawyer's intimidating persona, not to mention the length of time she has spent in this profession and her connections within the adoption community. Steer clear, is my advise.
