Karen A Klein

I hired Karen to review a contract. She was very thorough, pointing out issues I never would have thought of on my own and advising which ones were the most important. She also worked efficiently, recognizing that time is money and using both of mine wisely.

I received a great review of a separation agreement. Karen was focused and to the point during the hour long consultation and also offered some perspective from her own business experience. She also assisted with some follow up questions after the consultation. Highly recommended.

I asked Karen to evaluate a non-compete agreement I had with a previous employer. She was able to provide me with the relevant key details of non-compete laws in the State of Washington and how they affected my situation. She provided counsel that helped me resolve my concerns with my former employer with a positive outcome. I highly recommend her.

Had a situation with my job and was not sure what to do next. Karen not only walked me through each stressful step, she did for me way more than I ever expected would happen. She's very caring, intelligent and trustworthy.

Spoke to Karen and emailed her about an employee issue and she was incredibly helpful and made me feel incredibly secure on our decisions based on her advice. Not only was she a great attorney, she was also very fair, kind and her communication was spot on.

Karen guided me on a tricky separation from my company. Her strategic guidance helped me identify and open up the best outcomes for me. Her tactical guidance, including detailed contract reviews and direct advocacy on my behalf, helped us achieve the desired outcome.

Hired Karen as I was looking to get into a new business venture and wanted to make sure all my bases were covered. Her experience, not only from a legal perspective, but from having a background in business and business formation made her a great resource. She was able to draft a sound operating agreement. She was able to give me real advise about the risks and things that I could do to protect the interests of myself and my family. When it didn’t work out she was still there, ready willing and able to provide any assistance she could. I really appreciate her insight as well as her honesty. Some of the things I was going to need to dive into did not fall in her area of expertise, so she offered to refer me to an individual that specialized in that particular area. Her billing practices are fair, transparent, and to me, seem very client focused. That being said, I will continue to reach out to Karen first for all my legal needs, trusting that she is more than capable of takeing care of me, and knowing that she will refer me to the right people if it is in my best interest.

I hired Karen to help me understand the separation agreement I was presented with. She broken each section down and translated it into language I could understand. Her advise was sound and I used it to adjust the wording of the agreement. Hiring Karen was the right thing to do.

I received an employer agreement which they recommended I have an attorney review. I used Avvo to select Karen and am extremely pleased with the assistance. Karen was prompt and excellent in clarifying outcomes. With expert knowledge changes were made which were then accepted.

After a fair amount of research, I decided to set up a meeting with Karen. Having never needed an attorney before, I was nervous. After speaking with Karen for only a few minutes, I knew she would represent me and my interests well. I also quickly learned I was paying her for her expert opinion and insight not to simply agree with me and promise me the unattainable. Karen was professional, prompt, and kept the matter very much focused on a reasonable and realistic outcome. I highly recommend Karen and her legal services.

Helped me so much with a contract issue, I would for sure recommend her to anyone needing legal aid concerning employment and contracts. She gave me a lot of courage.

I cannot speak highly enough of Karen Klein. She recently represented me in a wrongful termination dispute. When I realized that my employer was looking for a reason to fire me, and was engaging in unethical conduct, I contacted other attorneys who said to wait and see what happens, and then contact them if I am fired. Luckily, I then found Karen and she advised me: "Do not meet with your employer without at attorney, and if you must (the meeting was happening that day, and she was unavailable), don't say anything, just call me after". She was so right. She worked hard, kept me up to date on all that was happening, gave me her advice and listened to my input. We eventually got a fair settlement. She was willing to take this to court, but advised me that it could possibly take a couple of years, cost me a lot of money, and my winning the case was not a "slam dunk". She was thinking about what was best for me, and not how much money she could make. Not only was Karen's legal advice superb, but she was a great emotional support to me, understanding how being fired can be traumatic (this was the first time anything like this ever happened to me). She also gave me advice regarding unemployment and looking for other jobs. I would recommend her without reservations.

Years ago I was told to hire Karen Klein if I ever got into a jam and needed legal assistance. That day *did* arrive when I was unable to extricate myself from an extremely complicated work situation. This problem was one that could have cost me my livelihood. Ms. Klein was a tireless and fearless advocate as she pursued a just resolution for my situation. Very thorough, Ms. Klein does her homework and more. I can remember her going through several months of emails! She looked at *all* aspects of the situation I was in, including those that were excluded from the official discussion. The result? I am still employed! Hire Karen Klein if you want peace of mind. I believe that Ms. Klein is worth every single penny. I only wish I had hired her sooner!

I hired Karen to help resolve an employment contract dispute. She was professional, responsive, and represented my best interests at all times. Highly recommended.

I hired attorney Karen Klein recently to help me with the process of allocation my union dues to a charity under a religious exemption offered by my union. I was getting resistance in my application process from the union attorney and decided to get some outside help to assist me with the process. Karen was really fantastic. She is straight forward, to the point and all business in her approach. I got the results I was looking for in my process forward from the initial several communications she had on my behalf. She really read my unintended personal communication tendencies very well and was able to guide me in my subsequent communications with the union. I had the upmost confidence in her from our first meeting and she continued to prove her worth many times.
