Union Dues Allocation Case

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.

My trust was well placed in Karen

Locating legal counsel is tricky. There are a million lawyers, they all seem to do the same thing, and unless you are constantly in legal trouble you would have no clue what makes one better than any other. I was very fortunate to locate Karen. She helped me understand the details associated with ...signing a severance agreement. Karen also helped explain legal concerns associated with an NDA I had. I would again seek out Karen's assistance if the need arose and I recommend you speak with her for your legal needs.

Extremely knowledgeable attorney with a personal touch

After my initial consultation with Ms. Klein I couldn't hire her fast enough. My situation was especially troublesome as it involved an employer that was especially difficult. But her expertise in the field resolved the issue quickly with little added worry in an already stressful situation. She even... gave us some very poignant information in an unrelated event concerning my motorcyclist husband who was run down by an automobile just a few days before. Ms. Klein took our situation to heart and did everything she could to help my family out. I only wish I could have hired her for my husbands case! I recommend Ms. Klein with no hesitation whatsoever.

Highly adaptable

We hired Karen initially because we needed "a lawyer", but quickly, we needed some real help. Karen jumped right in and got herself familiar with our line of business and it's rules and regulations so that she was able to stand with us when we needed her the most. As a small business owner, it's ve...ry reassuring to know you have someone like Karen in your corner.

Proven positive results

I contacted Karen via a reference. I needed contract rights and responsibilities reviewed and enforced. Not only did she provide excellent representation in legal meetings but provided sound advice and experts to back up what needed to be done to fulfill contractual obligations. I would and have reco...mmended her to anyone who needs a lawyer.

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.
