Kari and her legal assistant were very helpful and listened to my concerns. Kari filed motions promptly and kept the process moving ahead. Her legal assistant was also knowledgable and supportive during this stressful time.
I was going through some harsh court battles with my ex. Kari showed no interest, concern or care in anything that was occurring. She did not go out of her way to help me or lighten the load of anything. She was not aggressive whatsoever-- opposing counsel wiped the floor with us time and time again. My case should have been a slam dunk-- yet through poor, unprepared, offensive-less & defensive-less representation, she lost court appearance after court appearance. There were multiple times in court where it was more than evident that she had no idea what was going on and had not even bothered to read my position, declaration, response etc. She truly did not care about me, my case or whether we/she won or lost.
Communication-wise, she did not respond timely-- if at all to phone calls and emails. The one good thing I can say is that she billed fairly for her time-- but what good is fair billing for your time when your not getting what you're seeking/paying for.

Do not hire this attorney you will be embarrassed
I wouldn't hire Ms. Davenport to represent my dog. What an absolute waste of money and resources. This was the worst representation out of the entire county and after two court hearings I had to fire Ms. Davenport for her lack of professionalism and incompetence as an attorney. If you need to talk to her you can find her at any of the local bars being a complete booze bag. How did this lady pass the bar?

Horrible Response Time, Disorganized!
I sought out Kari for a custody issue. While the outcome was in my favor, I would never recommend her or her firm. Here is why:
- We met with her ONCE during our year long court battle. That was the initial intake. After that, we only met with the paralegals.
- She never responded to emails or calls. When she did, it was much later.
- She asked repeated questions.
- Official court documents referenced incorrect names. One was referring to me, but instead of listing my name, she listed the name of another relative. This caused us to resubmit information to the courts.
- When we finally were awarded final custody, we were asked to come in. We did, elated that it was finally over. To our dismay, we were told once again that Kari wasn't available to see us. It was another meeting with the paralegal. No congratulation, nothing from Kari.
She'll take your hard earned money, and won't be in contact.
If you're wondering how we won: most of it was a landslide, considering the other parties weren't willing to fight as hard as we did - most of it on our own.
