I contacted Karen Unger's office to inquire about hiring a lawyer to get a restraining order. I talked to Lori, dont know what her position is. She said I could just do it myself at the courthouse. I said I knew that but was told by a lawyer in another county that I might want to use a lawyer to keep... certain info private. She got really condecsending and said "that's ridiculous, who told you that? You can't just file a restraining order without the judge or the accused knowing why." I said I'm not trying to hide it from the judge, I just don't want the sensitive info public. She then said, " Oh come on! Do you really think someone will just go through your files and read them?" Her voice was loud and treated me like I was an idiot, almost laughing at me. I'm not a lawyer, I was just inquiring because of advise I got. I don't need to be treated this way and will never call this law office again.

Karen Unger is a good laywer because she is "in" the establishment. Port Angeles is a small town and all the lawyers know the other laywers and Judges. Karen was an attorney for my Daughter after an accident at school. She was also the attorney for my daughters Mom during several custody and child... support hearings. If you are in a custody dispute of Family law she is a good attorney as far as knowing how to extend the process. Unger is probably the most unorganized attorney in Port Angeles which helped my attorney a great deal.Having said that, she is effective in making her client feel good because of her loud and obnoxious way she portrays the other party. Most of the Judges are used to her antics and poor manners and do not pay much attention to her claims. The best thing about hiring Karen Unger is her ability to cut deals with her friends and that is why you see other attorneys rating her favorably. Make no mistake about it, most of your case is decided over a cocktail at lunch. You do not stand a chance in hell if she has any reason not to like you and if you are a male then the odds are you don't want her as your attorney. Specifically, Karen postpones meetings, delays court dates and settles most cases by costing the other party more money than the case is worth. If you have a case that can be won in this way, Karen is a great attorney for you.
