Karen is the best at what she does - family law. She has a compassion for your case that you will not find in any other lawyer. This compassion and her fight for the law makes her the only choice for me.

I felt like I was Karen's only client. Karen is attentive, patient and knowledgeable. She has great solutions for complex situations; I was very impressed with her ability to attain details specific to my case. Her writing and documentation is impeccable. I highly recommend her to anyone. Very Savvy!

I hired Karen to take over a very messy custody case. From the moment Karen was on my case things changed almost instantly. The judge's attitude was in our favor and the other attorney started to work with us. This change was because people know Karen. Karen is professional, smart, great at what she does, very respected in the law community, and she doesn't take B.S. from anyone! I can speak from personal experience that Karen also has a Huge heart and really does care about her clients. Over the Christmas holiday my ex did not bring my daughter to any visitation and I was heartbroken, Karen called or texted me everyday to see how i was and make sure I was okay. If your looking for an attorney look no further than Karen Gazda because you wont find anyone better and you can't argue with her results !!!!!!!!

Karen is an excellent attorney. She came highly recommended was always available and answered all question. She made the opposing side look completely foolish. I would recommend her to anyone who needs a strong attorney.

we hired her to handle a issue that she seemd to give us the idea she could handle it, it was no big deal- she took the money- and let the other lawyer lie continuously she didnt say anything while the other guy made his false case.more over when we infact got a hold of her to find out what was going on she acted as if there was no case at all infact asked stupid qustions that proved she never bothered to look in to facts of the case and was just not a serious lawyer.she not the lawyer to have if you want to be honest.the case has bankrupted the family worst is she knows it. if you need help get a public defender. dont pay someone who doesnt care.

I hired Karen to handle my divorce 4 years ago and to this day I'm still not divorced. As soon as she took my money nothing ever got done. I had to call to get her to follow up on everything and when documents were sent to her from my wife's Attorney, all she did was send them to me. She never reviewed any of the documents from them or offered any direction in the process. I have just hired another attorney to handle this and was told that I will be divorced in 60 days and the fee is much more tolerable then what Karen charged to do nothing. I will be pursuing legal action against this firm as they did nothing for the money that was collected.

Well respected in the court system, and demands it from other lawyers and will not accept anything less; Won't let you be disrespected either...by anyone. Very professional. She knows most of the facts of your case off the top of her head and can handle them well on the fly. She is very straight forward, so if you have a personality that can't handle that, then she may not be for you....I liked that and didn't want anything sugar coated. Won't put up with 'crap' from other lawyers and their clients...she handles their 'games' and puts them in place when needed. Great on her feet - in 4 way conferences, in trial, as well as in front of judge. Very trustworthy - you can tell her ANYTHING, and knows what not to tell the other party(ies) involved. I wanted to know everything and be prepared for everything, and that's what she did for me. She get's fired up for you, and will put forth her best efforts to get the job done. Would like to see her office be more technology efficient, which would improve efficiency for her and you; I wanted to always review, and possibly update/change filings before they went, and her assistant was always very cooperative with that process, however, I would have to physically pick them up or have them faxed to me. If you need a bulldog, and I knew I would, then I would recommend her. If you don't, and at times I didn't (very few though), she still got the job done well. Small office - only her and her assistant - pros and cons. You will only deal with her and not be bounced around to different lawyers, however, if you have emergencies, sometimes you can't reach her, but she will ALWAYS get back to you when time permits.

Karen is a terrible attorney. I went to her with a seperation aggreement that another attorney had done for my ex-wife and I and I asked her to review it and advise me where I would get hurt. She gave me no advice and said it looked fine. The simple agreement eventually fell through, kept gettting ammended by my ex and her attorney and time and again Karen would advise me to agree to the changes. Even after, on several occasions, she would say lets just go to court and have the judge decide . When I agreed to that she would turn 180 degrees and talk me out of it. I went from having a decent seperation agreement to loosing everything, custody, my house, my pension, everything. Thanks for the advice Karen, I should have taken my chances in court. She is no litigator!!! Not really much of a divorce attorney either. Hind sight is 20/20 believe me when I say, use someone else.

Karen is an excellent attorney. She is straightforward, assertive and handled my support case very well. She made herself available when needed, very responsive and got the job done! You will be in good hands with her!

Karen had taken over my case. She pushed through a difficult divorce with professionalism, kindness, and a relentlessness that resulted in a divorce . A fair distribution of marital assets. Her paperwork was always accurate, delivered in a timely manner, and she always checked with me to ensure that what she was proceeding with was what I wanted.

Hired her to help with divorce, specifically dealing with home ownership and mortgage issues. She did nothing and offered no helpful advice on the situation. Ended up asking a friend with no legal experience to help revamp my divorce settlement and it was done 10 times faster and in better detail than Karen did. She also used ALL of the retainer and then charged a lot of additional money. To do what - send a letter to the clerk? Can't even get in touch with her directly. Her paralegal does it all.
