Trusted Professional
Karin Quirk became my trusted professional through years of competent advice delivered when I most needed her. Her counsel invariably points toward proactive solutions I'd never considered. I recommend Karin from a base of experience and positive outcomes.

Great Attorney, Great Person
Karin has always been very quick to respond to any questions or concerns I've had regarding my legal issues. But her greatest strength is her absolute dedication to the concept of fair and respectful conflict resolution.

Very Professional and So Easy to Work With
Not only would I recommend Karin, but I already have. She frequently went the extra mile to make sure everything necessary was timely and in perfect order. She helped ease my worries about the divorce and settlement. I've already returned to Karin to have her prepare all my estate plans. Thank yo...

Professional and Reliable
I have been working with Karin for 3 years now for my Parenting Plan/Separation issues. Whenever I am stumped at how to respond, she always provides the exact words for me to respond and keep tension at a minimal. She explains things so that I can understand, and helps me feel at ease that I can fo...

Positive review of Karin
Karin and her Paralegal, Patty, were very helpful to me. I was confused by the whole process because I have never been involved in any legal action before. There is just too much to know! But they both took the time to explain things to me. I was COMPLETELY confused by the Washington worksheet and th...
"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."
