I went in with the intent of hiring a lawyer for my mother's estate. Karen was rude, dismissive, and did a lot of eye rolling, and sighing. She told us incorrect information and did not seem interested in basic common courtesy. I would recommend you find someone else to handle your probate needs she is a very unpleasant person to deal with when you are grieving and you deserve to be treated with compassion.

It was so great to have Louisa help me file for a protection order. She was already at the courthouse when I arrived at our scheduled time, which was so comforting, considering I had never been there before and didn't really know where to go or what I was doing. She was prepared and knowledgeable, down to the pen that I forgot to bring to fill out the necessary paperwork. Louisa's expertise and confidence, along with her calm and collected demeanor were so helpful during the process, which helped ease my anxiety and stress after a traumatic event. We got the paperwork filled out in a timely manner, allowing us to be second on the docket, in what could have been an event that lasted a few hours that Monday morning. When we got into the courtroom and the judge called my name, she displayed a level of confidence as my advisor that I was unable to provide myself, which was great considering my inexperience and ignorance of the process. Acquiring a restraining order was something new for me and I can't express how grateful I am to have had Ms. Schlieben there!

This attorney is very efficient. Communication with Karen is very easy both in her education to you, the client, as well as hearing what you, the client, are requesting. She is a refreshing person to do business with. Highly recommended

Ms. Schlieben was my colleague in the past and she was great to work with. She was not only reliable, but she went above and beyond for her clients to make deadlines and keep all parties informed. She also has a deep dedication to criminal defense, and is extremely compassionate about her clients and doing what she can ensure that her clients are zealously represented by a knowledgeable and hard-working defense lawyer. She is a skilled trial lawyer, and has a remarkable courtroom presence. She is also not afraid to stand her ground against opposing counsel, in her own fight for justice and fairness.

I always thought I could defend myself in court, but I realized I was in over my head after attending a pre-trial hearing, so I retained Louisa's services. I had ideas on the direction my defense should take, but what won the case was Louisa's ability to know the weakest points in a case and then drive those points home during the trial until the Judge had no other choice but to find me not guilty. During this time, I was traveling internationally for work, so we were communicating via email for months, and she was always extremely communicative and responsive. Louisa will always be my first choice should I ever need a defense attorney again.
