Client Testimonials
“Five Stars Are Not Enough”
I was having some issues with my ex from our divorce three years ago which, if he got his way, would have a devastating impact on my son and me. I had met with another attorney who basically told me that I was out of luck. I went to Karen on the recommendation of a friend of a friend who couldn’t say enough great things about her. My first impression of Karen was that she was very confident, competent, professional and to the point. She reviewed what I had to show her and I left her office feeling optimistic that she could help me. Everything was handled professionally by her and her staff and when it came time to go to court, we ended up on the winning side. She and her staff never seemed bothered by my hundreds of questions and were always very friendly and accommodating. She was a pleasure to deal with and without her, I’m not sure how things would have turned out. I plan to use her again when it comes time to modify my alimony. I truly cannot recommend her highly enough. Five stars are not enough.
