Karen Amos has been representing me and my family for over a decade. She is hands down the best attorney in Howard County. I’ve also recommended her to friends and colleagues. She is professional, knowledgeable, compassionate, driven, and determined to achieve the best results for her clients as she’s done for me and anyone that I’ve recommended. Karen Amos will fight on behalf of her clients to ensure they achieve the results that they’re looking and are fulfilled. I highly recommend Karen Amos as an attorney.

I had a very disappointing experience with Karen Amos, who was appointed as the Best Interest Attorney (BIA) for my twins. It became evident that she unfairly favored one child over the other, often disregarding the feelings and well-being of the child who had done nothing wrong. Unfortunately, after only one conversation, one of my children no longer feels comfortable speaking with her, despite her insistence that the child must—this is not a requirement under Maryland law. Additionally, I found her fixation on superficial aspects, such as repeatedly mentioning the kitchen backsplash during discussions, highly unprofessional and irrelevant to her role. In my opinion, Karen Amos does not maintain the impartiality expected of a BIA and seems to pick sides rather than advocate fairly for both children. Based on my experience, I do not believe she should be appointed to represent any child in the future.

Cares about clients and wants to get you a positive outcome without bankrupting you. I have learned that you can pretty much divide divorce attorneys into 2 categories: one group that simply wants to churn information back and forth between attorneys as well as between attorney and client in way that simply bills hours and accomplishes little until the 11th hour when it could have been settled in the first or second hour. And then there is a group, like Karen, that truly wants to problem solve, propose solutions, avoid litigation and get an outcome for her client that is both fair and reasonable in cost. Karen is honest, dedicated and she told me what I needed to hear rather than what I wanted to hear. I cannot recommend her highly enough. I was fortunate to have someone recommend her to me and, every time I mentioned her to someone in the legal community in Maryland (4x), the response from each attorney was overwhelmingly positive. If you are looking for someone who will be in your corner, fight for you, shoot straight with you(the good and the bad), look no further than Karen Amos.

Ms. O'Connor was extremely professional and supportive. She was very engaging, while also being honest and realistic about the legal process surrounding my situation. I would highly recommend Ms. O'Connor as an attorney.

Ms. O'Connor resolved my issue for me with much better results than I expected possible. She is a very honest and direct person. Professional and compassionate; Megan was great to work with and made me feel comfortable by explaining my legal options clearly. My case involved a breach of contract and property damage. Her negotiating strategy proved an asset to her results and overall effectiveness. She was able to quickly resolve my case, initiating a negotiation after our first meeting, she was able to actualize my best case scenario in an out of court settlement within my one-week timeframe. I am very pleased with the results that Megan achieved for me. She was genuine in her commitment to helping me and I feel that I was treated very fairly. I highly recommend Megan O'Connor as an attorney.

I have worked with many attorneys in my life and my experience with Megan was positive in every aspect. She is knowledgable, professional, prompt and compassionate. I consider myself lucky to have been referred to her and wish I had found her sooner.

Ms. O'Connor and I worked together on several cases and in different capacities since 2010, and I hired her to help me with more than one case. She is always extremely well prepared in her cases. She knows the law, court procedure, and she does her homework on the Judges and the Courts. She is fair but firm in her dealings with other lawyers and as a result she obtains great outcomes for her clients usually without the hassle of going to court. I highly recommend Megan O'Connor.
