Financially stressed? Need legal help? Look no further!

We found Karen from searching the Internet and finding various sites that stated ratings of Bankruptcy Attorneys. Of the various sties, Karen receive 5 Stars, from recollection, unanimously! We looked no further and contacted Karen. From start to finish...under a tight deadline...she was totally prof...essional...no small talk! Got right to the matter at hand. Informed us EXACTLY what she required and stated her fee, which had to be paid up front...no wiggle room! lol She was frank, went right to the "routine," she knew well, connecting the various dots (piles of requested documents)! Court date set, informed us of what to expect and all went has explained; there was one issue that I had a hard time understanding. She patiently explained it to me several times over the phone and via email. I almost never take up my valuable time to write reviews...especially for a service I had to pay for! But now, after several months, I decided a review was in order and now you have it. Thank you, Karen!

Excellent Knowledge and Service

The decision to file bankruptcy was difficult however Karen helped me by giving me all the information I needed to move forward. She is quick to respond to any questions or needs that arise. I highly recommend Karen to anyone in need of a knowledgeable bankruptcy attorney.

Bankruptcy

Bankruptcy - The subject of filing for Chapter 7 bankruptcy is not exactly glorious, but having retained Karen Grant was the wisest thing I could have done, She is patient and understanding and did not make me feel terrible for how I got to this crossroads in life. She was remarkably helpful - Sant...a Barbara chill - which really allowed this the process go smoothly. She does promptly respond to emails - which was even better in those times of need. I highly recommend her as an outstanding lawyer,

  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
