Lydia A. Karjaka

There is nothing more important to me than my children. I have been blessed with two daughters, and I love being a Dad. My kids mean everything to me. With that said, I have needed to hire family law attorneys in order to protect my rights as a father and a parent and make sure that my girls had a fa...ther who was both present and available. Prior to my custody battle, my experience with my family law attorney was very negative. I did not feel that I received fair representation in the past. With my previous attorney, I felt that I was misinformed, unprepared, and scared to ask questions. In my most recent litigation case, I retained the services of Reed, Centracchio & Associates. I was assigned two attorneys whom I met with to discuss my case. My two attorneys were Lindsay Saylors and Lydia Karjaka. Lindsay was my primary attorney, and Lindsay would often collaborate with Lydia on several occasions throughout my case. Right from the start I was blown away by the professionalism of my attorneys. I was able to speak to them and share my thoughts, feelings, and emotions. I felt comfortable enough to explain my story without holding anything back. Throughout this litigation process, I was extremely impressed with the communication I received. Both attorneys made sure that they were prepared in every way both to inform me what was going on as well as working with opposing counsel. I always felt that I was well informed with all aspects of my case. This gave me confidence to make informed decisions and plan my future. Both Lindsay and Lydia fought very hard for me and my daughters. I always knew that I was being taken care of and that my needs were a priority. Hiring Reed, Centracchio & Associates as my legal counsel was one of the best decisions that I have ever made for my family. Thank you for the best representation. My case is settled, and I now have more time with my daughters.

Finding Reed, Centracchio, & Associates, LLC was my best decision when searching for someone to represent me in my divorce case. Their service not only met but exceeded all of my expectations. Lydia Karjaka is always sensitive to my needs. She is firm and frightful when she needs it, but she did tha...t with great skill without creating needless tension and controversy in a cost effective way. She is strong, smart and confident when presenting my case in the court and she made every claim with accuracy. She is never shy to share her honest and frankly legal opinion with me whenever I needed. Working with her during this most difficult time in my life gave me a great a piece of mind and I will forever be grateful for the service they provided. Overall, I was very happy with the service I’ve received. Thank you very much for being my lawyer !

Like many people, I thought my situation was the most complex and troubling one ever; but, after spending only a few minutes with Lydia, I felt at ease and knew I was in capable, professional and compassionate hands. She walked me patiently through the legal process without being the least bit conde...scending or impersonal. Consequently, I felt empowered to move confidently forward with my case.

I met Lydia at a non-profit fundraiser for adoptions in April 2016. I was amazed at not only her knowledge of the adoption process but at her enthusiasm for the child and the adoptive parents as well. Several attendees at my table also remarked at how Lydia put them at ease by explaining the adopti...on process and how she worked closely with them each step of the way. Clearly, Lydia is an extraordinary advocate for the adopted, their parents and guardians as well as the adoption process. I will continue to spread Lydia's good name as some to contact when in pursuit of adopting a new family member.

Lydia was very sensitive to our needs in regards to the adoption process of my daughter. She would always ask for permission to use and all materials deemed sensitive and or confidential. Lydia made sure that my wife and I had a full understanding of the process both judicially and socially and alw...ays respected our response.
