Karma L Zaike

Karma was my divorce lawyer back in 2014, I was in a very bad situation dealing with very experienced litigator ex and his attorney ( the firm represent dad's). I was forced out of family home and no visitation at the beginning. Karma turned everything around where I back to family home and had my ...son back to me within the 2 weeks. she gets things done immediately and effectively . even the family court judge commented on her being a good lawyer. I worked with few attorneys nobody is like karma. Her fees are high but she worth every penny. She usually very busy, if you lucky enough to work with her, do it.

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.

I thought that honest lawyers exist only in Hollywood movies where they are beautiful from outside and inside and are fighting against all bad for all good saving the whole world. And real lawyers are always look at you through their money glasses where you can see this $$$ reflection in their eyes. ...But now I know that professional and honest lawyers do exist because I met Karma Zaike. She won’t start working with you if you are not honest and not reasonable yourself. Her service is not cheap but we live in one of the most expensive cities in one of the most expensive countries. And you get what you paid for. After very hard two years long divorce that I was not initiated I can say that she deserves each dollar charged and worked hard for it. She won ALL my numerous court hearing. After living in the basement of my friend’s house alone I live in my house with my daughter again and I have my life back. Karma is always prepared for the hearings, always have plan A, B and C, she discusses it with you, explain all these difficult terms and turns, makes you understand all options and steps, her calculations are always right. Her professional knowledge is outstanding. I was witnessing how judges and commissioners asked her during the hearing about some law related things using her as some law Wikipedia. Besides decent education, knowledge and preparation to each hearing she works very efficiently during the hearing. I was very impressed watching how fast she observes incoming information, makes some notes, formulas, calculations, compile something and responses fast and efficient. During this long divorce many times I had to sit in the court rooms and wait for my turn and I had to listen other cases and to see other attorneys. And I always conclude for myself: I have the best one! I recommended Karma Zaike already and will always recommend her as a family attorney. Especially for difficult cases. P.S. It is very strange to see these one star reviews. Their content looks like made from the same template and don’t believe it . I will not be surprise if they were made by some other parties that lost in the courtroom to Karma.

I hired Karma for several issues regarding my custody battle, including a child support redo. She missed deadlines, lost the binders required the court to hear my case. I lost and was fine 20,000.She would have 3 underlings working on my case billing me all at the same time. When I got new representa...tion she refused to cooperate and hand over my file I paid $50,000 for in six months. find a different attorney.

I hired Karma to fight a child custody relocation case for me. I emailed Karma 5 times leading up to the deadline, none of which were returned and she missed the filing deadline by one day and failed to issue the summons to the opposing party by *weeks*. In court, Karma admitted it was 100% her fau...lt and the judge had to award relocation as a result (per WA law). I then fired Karma and retained another attorney. To add insult to injury, Karma insisted on getting paid for her failure to adequately represent me, and never once apologized for her failings. Find another attorney.
