Posted by Raven | December 17, 2019 | Hired Attorney | Uncontested Divorce

Highly recommend for comfortable, expert guidance

Karen facilitated my divorce a couple years ago. Our divorce was uncontested, but overall still a very difficult time. Our brief meetings with Karen were among the few pleasant and easy moments of the process. I felt comfortable asking questions. Her office space was comfortable, the people friendly..., and the information she gave was clear, objective, and easy to follow. Karen gave us pens, which became a slightly weird keepsake for me. Some of these details seem superficial, but it had a meaningful impact that her office was comfortable, clean, and a nice view. And it had a bigger impact, of course, that she facilitated the final, legal, steps of the process in a way that made everything feel okay. I would highly recommend Karen for legal advice and assistance, through a positive or difficult times.
