Thank you for visiting my Avvo profile.
I am a Certified Family Law Specialist focusing in divorce, child custody, domestic violence, spousal support, child support, property valuation and division and other divorce related matters.
My clients tend to be senior level executives, entrepreneurs, professional athletes, elected officials, educators and victims of domestic abuse (who are not necessarily always female.) Most of my clients have highly complex legal issues, sizeable estates and they retain me when stakes are high in an emotionally charged situations. I advocate for my clients to protect their legal rights to assets and child custody and I help them achieve fair marital settlement agreements so they can move on with clarity, closure and resolution.
My undergraduate degree includes an emphasis on American Military Strategy and this lends a tactical, strategic and proactive approach to how I manage my cases. I am "in the trenches" with my clients and strive to be their advocate and champion. I do not back down from conflict.
While earning my Juris Doctor at Berkeley Law, I served as Executive Editor on the Berkeley Business Law Journal. My propensity for writing ensures that I deliver written correspondence, motions, pleadings and arguments that are clear, concise and direct.
Ideally, I strive for fair settlements for my clients, however I am always prepared to litigate when absolutely necessary. Since our firm is one of the largest (if not the largest) in California to specialize exclusively in family law, as a senior member of our team, I spend a great deal of time in court.
Please see my peer endorsements and client reviews, including those pictured in my profile, and do not hesitate to contact me for legal consultation. I look forward to hearing from you and hope to assist you in outlining an effective legal strategy for your family law issue/s.
Sincerely,
Karlina

My case had been dangling for 32 years. Karlina helped to bring peace and a resolution that had been eluding me. Having delt with several attorneys, Karlina and her staff provided the needed attention with a true professional approach. Her staff was attentive and timely, office communication very go...

Karlina helped me get my future back, after a long marriage replete with physical and emotional abuse, and manipulation throughout the divorce process. Leaving that marriage after decades was very difficult and I could not have done it as successfully without Karolina’s support and advice. From our f...

Karlina represented me in a complex, drawn-out, expensive divorce with custody and parental alienation issues. The opposing party was a seasoned attorney not hesitating to use any dirty tactic to win at all cost. Karlina presented the truth in a manner that was clear and loud, enough to turn the tid...

Karlina is one of the most fierce legal advocates I have ever had the occasion to work with. Fortunately, she was my own family law attorney and not the opposing party. Karlina was continually prepared, strategic, and helped me understand my options and the overall process. I always felt as if we ...

Karlina did an exceptional job of keeping me informed of what to expect during each stage of the divorce process. She was available on short notice, was extremely sharp, had excellent follow through and was always professional. One of the most important qualities, she listened. I always knew she...
"I referred a high net worth client recently to Karlina for a pre-marital agreement. Karlina did a great job and my client was pleased. I look forward to continuing to refer clients to Karlina in the future!"
"Karlina is the perfect combination of zealous advocacy and objective pragmatism when it comes to strategy and expectations in her communications with clients. I wholeheartedly endorse her."
"Karlina is professional and knowledgable. She is a great advocate and very responsive to clients and counsel. I high recommend her."
"Karlina is the hardest working attorney I know. I regularly refer clients to her and they are always satisfied with her counsel."
"One of the hardest-working, smartest, strongest lawyers out there. Period. With a mind like a steel trap."
"I have known Karlina Paredes since she first began her career as an attorney. She has developed excellent skills both in and out of the courtroom. I have referred multiple clients for family law matter to Karlina and all have been completely satisfied with her professionalism, competency, and results."
"I highly endorse and recommend Karlina as one of the best and remarkable attorneys with whom I have worked with (150 attorneys over nearly 20 years). I have worked with her daily for over 4 years. Her clients LOVE her. She is an outlier in all aspects of family law - setting strategy, expectations, negotiations, oral advocacy, and everything else. She is dedicated, responsive, extremely competent, always goes 14 out of 10 for her client. I simply have to tell her to slow down as she makes everyone else looks bad. You will not go wrong with Karlina."
