Outstanding work and results. First pick for my team!

Karen represented me in a criminal case. I was arrested, confused, and naive to what was going on. Karen's prompt response, expertise, and excellent communication helped me to understand the situation I was in. Her professional and empathetic support came at a huge relief. Without her representat...ion, I possibly wouldn't have been released as quickly as I was. I was impressed with her professionalism and confident, effective action in the court room. She is knowledgeable and took the time to do research. She kept me well-informed, clearly explained my options, offered excellent advice, and allowed me to make my own decisions on my case. She was consistently reliable and prompt. She went the extra mile and is a go-getter. She worked her magic and the results were extraordinary. I highly recommend Karen's services.

Karen Sheey Recommendation

Unfortunately, I've had experience with several attorneys. Karen is the only one I can recommend. She is compassionate, extremely hard working, and dedicated to her career and clients. She is totally trustworthy, honest, upstanding and works in the best interest of her clients. I have insufficient ...words to describe how good she is.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
