Violated my trust in DV Case

Karen violated my trust as my attorney. Additionally, Scaringi Law Firm and Karen became very unreasonable, and in fact, bullyish, once I no longer wanted to pay for services. Using pressure strategies to get me to pay more money, is unethical. As a final result, she exposed me to danger by reveal...ing confidential information to my abuser.

Unfortunately this comment was posted anonymously. I would love the opportunity to address this individual's complaints personally, and encourage the individual to reach out to me directly. I am completely unaware of what this individual is referring to, and had I been made aware of the complaint at the time of representation, I would have worked to address the complaint in a professional and efficient manner.

Awful experience - wouldn't recommend

Karen was hired to aid in a divorce case. She seemed great when we met, but after hiring, things went downhill quickly. She was terrible at follow up. A month, sometimes longer, would pass without an update on the case. I had to call in or email to get an update and I was charged a hefty fee for tryi...ng to get followup on my case. I wouldn't of had to call or email for an update had she been doing it. They were quick to advise they needed more money to do "more work" though! She didn't show up at the one appointment and had to use a replacement lawyer due to another client she was dealing with. That was found out last minute and was very upsetting. I don't feel she was had my best interest in mind and I am upset with the outcome. I would never recommend this lawyer or law office after the poor customer service, disorganization, and $$$$ they charge . The only thing they were good at is sending invoices for more money.

I am always available to clients and keep them informed every step of the case. I am sorry this individual had a bad experience, and had I been made aware of the complaint at the time of representation, I would have worked to address the complaint in a professional and efficient manner.

Focused on what was needed to win!

Karen kept me focused on what was needed to address all of the many factors the court looks at in a custody relocation case. When we walked into court, we were able to confidently display our evidence to the judge and back it up. I was looking to relocate hundreds of miles away to buy a business so I... could retire from a well paying job for a second career. With her direction, we won the case and I could not be more pleased with the outcome. She helped to move the hearing date up when it was reacheduled our for several months so the opportunity would not disappear and was able to arrange a pre-trial hearing in judges chambers that helped to set the tone of what the judge was expecting.

Very positive experience

I used Karen as my attorney a few years back to help expunge my license when I was charged with a DUI. During this time she was very attentive to my needs and answered any questions that I had in a very timely manor. I recently was charged with a DUI and she was very helpful in directing me to the pr...oper resources that I needed. I highly recommend her to anyone that is looking for a dedicated, personable attorney.

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.

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.
