I have never left any type of reviews prior to this one. However, I felt so compelled to leave one about Karen. I was a mess and in need of a strong voice to represent me during a divorce which due to the other side looking to drag this process out was going know where. Karen stepped up took control and pulled me through this. She understood and was sensative to just how important my daughters are to me. In the courtroom Karen has everyone’s respect. Karen, is not only a great attorney but is just as good of a person. Also her paralegal Christina is second to none. If you are going through a divorce do yourself a favor and contact Karen as you will not regret it!

I was in the middle of what was actually the second go around in a custody issue over my son. My ex had abused him and been in trouble with DSS a few times. She had a high priced lawyer who went into court with emergency hearings that were literally full of lies. My lawyer said a lot about how she can't win,but always came out of the courtroom on the losing end. I eventually fired that lawyer. I found Karen Svendsen online. From the first meeting she could see the nonsense that we had been dealing with. She had a professionalism about her that was top notch. Her staff - especially Christina - was helpful, calming and patient. When Karen walked into the courtroom on my behalf she came out on top. She didn't let the other lawyer push me around. My ex now knew that I meant business and we quickly came to an agreement that favored my side a bit more. Now, 2 years later, my son lives full time with me by his own choice. He has graduated at the top of his HS class with many honors. He will soon be off to college. Karen and her staff helped give me the courage I needed to win a battle I needed to win. And my son learned from that as well. I can't thank them all enough for the positive impact they had on my and my son's lives.

Karen has been representing myself and my companies in numerous business transactions, negotiations and litigations for over 10 years now. In each and every case, she never promised me anything or gave me any advice that wasn't in my best interest. Her attention to detail and her making herself available whenever I needed her are some of the reasons, aside from all of our success, that I have stayed with her for so long. If you are looking for an honest attorney that knows their stuff and gives you the best advice, look no further!

I was getting married for the first time but living with my fiancé for many years. He suggested a pre-nuptial agreement. I heard of Ms. Svendsen, called her and she worked a miracle. Her extensive experience in marital law and personal manner not only made the whole experience as pleasant as it could be, but the outcome for me was better than I could have ever expected. She spent the time getting to know me and my future expectations. She is fair and honest and I would highly recommend her to anyone with out any hesitation.

I recommend Karen Svendsen as an expert in Family Law and exceptionally talented lawyer without reservation. After almost a year of little to no progress in my case for child support, a very astute friend of my gave me Karen Svendsen's phone number. She had skillfully brought my friend's divorce case to an optimal conclusion. My prior lawyer didn't prepare or guide me, and actually put my case in jeopardy due to their lack of experience. Karen Svendsen was attentive and helpful from our first conversation. In our first meeting, within 15 minutes she had not only mastered the facts of my case but very easily pointed out extremely advantageous holes and significant intricasies specifically beneficial to my case. She fought on my behalf from the beginning until the very end. Because of her superb skill in negotiating, her understanding of the court and the depth of her experience she was able to reach an advantageous settlement for me. Achieving a settlement has allowed my ex husband and I to go forward with a calmness and decency towards one another which never would have been possible had we gone to trip and both testified. Karen Svendsen's professional, experienced, compassionate & honest demeanor gave me a feeling of calm in what was one of the more difficult years of my life. I am eternally grateful to her.

Ms. Svendsen, has provided legal counseling for me over the past several years. Both personally and professionally, Ms. Svendsen has always provided professional excellence with successful outcomes. I would highly recommend Karen Svendsen and her firm for all legal matters.

I originally came to Karen several years ago to discuss a legal separation. This was an extremely difficult time for me. Karen demonstrated the knowledge and sensitivity necessary to put me at ease. When my divorce was finalized, I felt comfortable knowing that I had Karen to represent me. If you're looking for an advocate who is knowledgeable, responsive and senstive to client needs, Karen should be your first choice.

I'm currently in the process of a divorce . Like most people , this is something that hopefully doesn't happen every day. I remember having so many questions and I worried a lot about whether or not I missed something or forgot to mention something else. On the day of our initial meeting with the opposite side , I was feeling a wreck , but Karen walked me through what was to happen , answered all my questions , and ultimately represented me and my wants . She was confident in her delivery , stern in her demeanor. I would definitely recommend Karen !
