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

Honest, Strategic and Effective
Karlina helped me with a protracted and messy child custody case. I changed lawyers to her, and am so very happy I did. She undid the damage my first lawyer did on not being strategic, and helped deliver the best results for my children. She is honest and frank, never lead me on, is very familiar wit...

Extremely satisfied!!
I hired Karlina as a consulting attorney to help me finish a 5 year long divorce process. I immediately knew I had the right attorney. I learned more from her in the initial consultation than I did from my previous attorney who cost me thousands of dollars over a 4 year period. Karlina is extremely k...

Considerate, Caring, and Competent
Karlina is a first class attorney! Early on in my case she was brought in to assist with the assigned attorney, but she made her mark because of her genuine concern for clients. She was always attentive, responsive and took the time to address any concerns and questions. I was able to work through...
"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."
