Direct, no nonsense family law expert

I sought a second opinion on my divorce case after quickly realizing the firm I had was using tactics to draw out fees and timeline with a less than optimal outcome. Upon meeting Karma, I realized many of the things told to me by my original firm were not true. For instance, I didn't need a temporary... order which my attorney was vying for (and costing lots of money negotiating with opposing counsel.) Karma was direct and honest. She presented herself as very competent and laid out a strategy that appeared expedient. After switching firms to Ms. Zaike, she quickly got a trial date and it was an effective strategy at getting opposing counsel to make decisions and force a fixed timeline. After mediation was unsuccessful, opposing counsel quickly compromised because they did not want to go to trial. Overall, I was very happy with the outcome. Karma is an attorney who's heart is in the right place and she has a passion for doing the right thing with he legal chops to put forth a strategic plan for her clients. Karma's fees are higher than some but when you have someone that can get the job done expediently, it more than pays for itself.

Strong advocate, quick study, efficient and caring divorce lawyer. She gets results!

I hired Karma after a terrible experience with another attorney who did nothing and could barely remember my name. I felt lucky to get into her practice as she wasn't available earlier in the case. Karma got up to speed on my matter within 1 hour and has been very fair on billing. She and her staff a...re warm, caring and efficient. She has been a strong advocate, always has a sound strategy and was viewed as collaborative and fair during mediation. Her firm is the kind of firm other lawyers retain as they have a stellar reputation as strong advisors and respected counsel. I would hire her again in a heart beat and feel lucky to have her on my and my son's side.

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"I have referred marital dissolution cases to Karma for years. Many people have called me to say how much they appreciated getting their matter to Karma. She truly cares for the emotional well being of her Clients, and is a fearless, strong advocate for them in Court. One Client I referred to Karma, who had started with another lawyer, called me back later on to say that "nothing got done until Karma came on board. She really fought for me". I have heard this on more than one occasion from satisfied Clients !"
