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.

She worked on some estate planning documents for my spouse and me. She did a great job of explaining things that were unfamiliar. She made us feel comfortable in working on things that can be pretty darn uncomfortable.

Estate planning is a very complex endeavor. Verena and her team was very good at walking us through the complexities and not hurrying us up through the process, explaining things well as we went through the process.

Verena explained very clearly the complexities of the will and advanced directive for my wife and myself. Very knowledgeable and personable, would recommend her to anyone.

Verena is extremely detailed. She takes the time necessary to explain the many complicated issues inherent Elder Law. She even agreed to meet with me and my adult children to explain and review all documents with them.

Verena did a fantastic job at making complex and emotional decisions a breeze for my wife and me. She has a unique ability to make complex issues simple. Beyond anything else, we trust Verena implicitly and truly value her advice. Verena has become more than an attorney to us -- has become a friend! Hire Verena and you will be happy you did.

I never thought I'd be writing a positive review for a lawyer, after several bad experiences over the years. However, Verena Meiser made me change my mind. Family circumstances made me suddenly realize the need to an estate planning attorney. She provided thorough explanations and comprehensive advice that set my mind at ease,

Verena supplied me with the documents needed for settlement. She understood the importance of time in this manner and handled all my needs that came up. She is very professional but also kind and thoughtful. I would highly recommend using Verena.
