I would give Karin and her firm zero stars if I could. While my ex and I were friendly and civil it was obvious at the end of Karin’s services she was working tirelessly for my ex. She talked over me in every meeting, advised my ex on how to get more than we had agreed to and had zero time for me. Sh...

My divorce was challenging, but from my first conversation with Karin and Melissa, I was confident that I chose the right attorneys to handle my divorce. They treated me with dignity and respect, and eased my many worries throughout this difficult process. I enjoyed working with them and appreciated ...
"I have known Karin since the 2000s just as the collaborative movement and the King County Collaborative law movement settled down into its permanent meeting location in downtown Seattle. Karin was relocating from California and from the first time I met her she showed a winner's attitude. She grew an excellent practice from scratch in Kirkland. She's naturally extroverted and her clients truly enjoy the time spent with her. She has created a loving client community around herself. Her office has a great view and her law partner is a hard working, focused lawyer. She's an excellent east side lawyer to hire."
"Although I do not practice family law, I have routinely seen Karin Quirk give insightful answers to family law questions posed by other attorneys seeking guidance. She is clearly experienced and knowledgeable in her practice area."
"I endorse Karin. She is a talented and knowledgeable attorney. If you are looking for someone to help you in a cooperative family law matter, you would be well-served by considering her services."
"I endorse this lawyer. If you're goal is a respectful, cooperative dissolution, whether you think you can attain that goal or not, give Karin a call."
"Karin is a seasoned professional who has an excellent sense of the "big picture" in handling her family law matters. She is a strong advocate for her clients, while keeping the interests of the whole family in mind, and emphasizes amicable resolution, whenever possible. I highly recommend her."
"As opposing counsel on a case we had together, Karin was tough, knowledgeable, and well prepared. Fortunately, for those of us still litigating, she now focuses on resolving divorce cases without going to court. I believe she has a calm, down-to-earth, reassuring manner with clients that puts them at ease and makes reaching an amicable divorce settlement much more likely."
"I endorse this lawyer. Karin is an experienced, professional family law attorney who has her clients' best interests at heart. I have worked with her as opposing counsel over the years on several matters and she has always been knowledgable, reasonable and professional. I hope to work with her again in the future."
"I endorse this lawyer. Karin is a well-prepared, hardworking, strong advocate for her clients. She thoughtfully advises on the best course of action for attaining her client's interests and does so. Unfortuntately there are some clients who have unrealistic expectations, and when not met, whine and complain in an attempt to avoid the fee or gain a return of retainer. Do not be misled by these people -- free speech is a wonderful thing, but it can be abused in a forum such as this and mislead others. Karin is well-prepared, ethical and effective!"
"I worked with Karin when she practiced in Southern California. I found her to be knowledgeable and hard working. When she moved up to Washington, I referred a client to her who moved up to her area. I endorse this lawyer's work."
"Karin and I were opposing counsel a few years ago. I found her approach to be very client oriented; looking for the best solution for the parties, including the children. We were able to resolve all issue in cooperative manner, limiting unnecessary cost, leaving both clients satisfied with the outcome. Avoiding unnecessary conflict gave the parties a good foundation to continue a positive pattern of parenting after their dissolution. I look forward to working with Karin in the future and would recommend Karin to anyone who hopes to resolve their differences in a constructive manner."
"Karin is professional and a zelous advocate for her clients. She is efficinet and is always seeking reasonable resolution to all issues. She is compassionate to her clients and has experience in communicating their demands to opposing counsel."
"Karin has a great reputation for working with people to resolve their situation without litigation. This is a great approach -- divorce without war."
