Devestated

Hiring Karen was an awful decision. I found out later that she actually interfered with my ex and I wanting to settle earlier just so she could charge me more money and drag us through the mud for a few more months. She promised me the world and left me with a whole lot of debt. Would never work ...with her again.

Incompetent

I've worked with Karen on several cases over the years and her biggest weakness is taking and making things personal. She can't seem to separate business from personal and gets caught up in the wrong aspects of the case misunderstanding the issues and ultimately losing for her clients. I have fruit...ful relations with many other attorneys in our field but Karen isn't one of them.

Steer Clear

Honesty is definetly not her fortay. Misrepresented critical information about my wife and I which caused more emotional frustration than necessary. Billings were outrageous. I eventually fired her and settled directly with my wife and her attorney.
