We needed estate planning and my wife and I both own businesses. She made what seemed like a complicated process a clear and productive experience.

Karen did a great job with a previous probate issue we had and most recently with putting together our family trust. She is thorough in her approach and explains complex legal issues in a very easy to understand manner. I have served as trustee for two different trusts and thought I knew a lot, but Karen's counsel helped us in our planning and to avoid some pretty big pitfalls.

Karen prepared a living trust for my husband and me. She did an amazing job explaining all the intricacies of a trust, advising us on how to structure it, and drawing up the actual document. I cannot recommend her enough.

I am thrilled with the will and estate plannning work Karen Dawson did for us! In each of our meetings together I was impressed with her professionalism, expertise, and demeanor. I admit that I wondered if the fact that I’m a nurse and my husband is a federal judge would make a difference in how she treated each of us, especially given the fact that she and my spouse are in the same profession and she might have been tempted to use “legalease” or discount my participation or be annoyed by my numerous questions. But I couldn’t have been more incorrect. She was respectful and in every step helpful to me as we worked through planning our trust and advanced directives etc. She was an absolute pleasure to work with. Each segment of the process went vastly better than I’d anticipated because of her complete competence and appropriate warmth and encouragement. The finished “product”, a fine binder with an explicit and easy to follow organization beautifully captures every minute detail we’d hope to be able to access readily on all the financial arrangements. I cannot express how grateful I am for her guidance and for the peace of mind fshe has fostered for our family. I especially appreciated the bright yellow checklist she provided for the front of the binder, that listed the remaining pieces that we personally needed to do to finish out the process. She will be checking back with us in a month to make sure we have done our part which I appreciate immensely. Thank you Karen! We wholeheartedly give her our highest recommendation.

We found Karen Dawson on this website and she did not disappoint! • She had a caring way of engaging with us about our needs and preferences in our final years. • We felt very confident by her expertise. • She was clear up front about what it would cost. • She was very efficient and organized. We were given forms to fill out with our financial information and our preferences to support our discussions in detail. • She really listened carefully and applied all our intentions to our trusts and wills and misc documents. • We left our final appointment with a beautiful binder with everything our family could possibly need as we age and eventually pass away. We couldn't be more pleased with our experience with Karen Dawson and with Colleen for making us feel so welcomed.

I was advised by friends and family that I needed some kind of legal document for my protect after the recent death of my wife brought this to a forefront. I was very pleased to work with Karen and was not disappointed in the least. I would recommend her as your lawyer.
