Thorough and Efficient

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.

Posted by Steve | January 16, 2020 | Contracts & Agreements

Concise and knowledgeable

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.

Excellent strategic and tactical advice

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.

Contract and Agreement Review

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.

Very knowledgeable and helpful

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.

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.
