Great attorney

Kari helped me with my child custody case and my divorce. I'm so thankful for her help especially when my son was wrongfully taken from me. She even worked over the weekend to help get him back to me. She always gave me the best advice and nothing but good things have come from her services. Kari is ...also very easy to talk to and isn't pushy, very sweet lady. I highly recommend her!

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • 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.
