Professional and Attentive Family Law Attorney

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...od. I was also surprised that the billing was honest and I did not feel gouged as I have with many other offices. Simply put I was very satisfied.

I recommend Karlina with the utmost enthusiasm and confidence

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...irst meeting, she gave me a sense of strength and the certainty that she would be a zealous but reasonable advocate on my behalf. Never was she or anyone on the team aggressive just for the sake of being aggressive. I saw again and again that taking a reasonable, firm, and moderate approach delivered results even when the opposing party's behavior was outrageous. The firm was also quick to respond to questions and explain confusing elements of the process. I always felt like I could reach out if I had a concern. Unfortunately, divorce is expensive, but Karlina and the attorneys at Hoover Krepelka really worked to reduce the cost by not engaging with pointless and unnecessary provocations. Her goal from the outset was to bring the case to a close as efficiently as possible. I would recommend Karlina to anyone with the utmost confidence and enthusiasm.

Attorney that has your back

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...e in the case after several previous attorneys. Karlina always had the big picture in mind and while preparing for the trial, she kept the settlement option on the table at all times. She never hesitated to advocate for the best option to proceed, sometimes against my first or second choice. And after looking back, with all the dust settling, she was absolutely right. She had the tactic, the strategy, and my back. Huge appreciation for what you did, Karlina! Thank you!

So Happy She Was On My Side!

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 ...had the upper hand, am grateful to have been able to avoid costly litigation, due in large part to Karlina’s ability to settle our issue so it didn’t end up an a drawn out court battle. Thank you Karlina!

Intelligent, sharp, thorough!

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... had my best interest at heart and that of my children. I would have no hesitations hiring Karlina, her and Travis made an exceptional team!

Divorce and separation lawyer | Aug 04

Relationship: Co-worker

"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."
