Karen and her staff were wonderful
Karen and her staff were wonderful. Initially I did not plan to hire an attorney to assist me. However when the insurance company started denying my medical treatment, I decided to contact her. She was very sympathetic and knowledgeable. I was completely lost in this confusing system until I contacted her. She helped me through the process of finalizing my settlement.
