She is very rude and unprofessional. She is on a power trip. She needs balance - my son was in court for using a vape in school. She talks to ppl like they are under her - so disrespectful. If my son had been in trouble before I would understand the harshness of it !She needs to learn how to talk to ppl! I would never vote for her. She made him take a drug test- I did not have an issue with that. He thought she said will you take a drug test. He said yes but she apparently said will you fail a drug test , then she ask what for ? So I spoke up and said he will pass it. No one that act like her should be able to be in that position! I'm going to give it to God ! Ppl just think they can act as they want - no morals and by these reviews I'm not the only one who thinks that way. Everyone in that court room had the same opinion!

Karla is one of the worst attorneys I’ve ever met. She is extremely unprofessional and disrespectful. She said a lot of very terrible things to us about the birth mother of our son. She was supposed to be an unbiased in our case but you could tell she was making a lot of decisions based on how she felt. It was a sad case and she didn’t even really put the time and effort that she was supposed to. She states “I’m doing what’s best for the child” but that’s the most untrue statement. She does what’s best for what she wants to happen. When I say you need to run, not walk, away from this women, I’m not kidding. If she is assigned to your case, ask your lawyer for an immediate change. She’s small minded and shouldn’t be allowed to practice law.

She obviously does not understand confidentiality agreements. She was my appointed attorney during a child custody case with my father, after speaking with her in private she returns only to tell my father and his wife (who were trying to take my son away from me) everything i had told her. I wouldn't have known or believed that if a mutual friend hadn't come to me and told me word for word, she repeated everything back to my father that i had just told her. Also, told me to contact her through text and i've never received a phone call or text back from her yet she told my father and others that "I never made contact with her after she reached out to me numerous times." Sorry, Karla but you got it backwards. If you're not from this small town in Fayetteville, maybe she would be a good attorney to have. MAYBE.

I asked her for a quick, easy divorce. Thats what she gave me. I've paid for this ever since, financially and with my children. If she had told me all my options, I'd made a better decision. No one is in the frame of mind to make good decisions while going through a divorce. Maybe I didn't listen but, I was definitely not informed of all my rights and options. I think she was trying to be fair in going along with what my ex-husband and I had in mind for a parenting plan. I was trying to be fair also, (too fair). She didn't inform me how difficult it would be to change it. She was well aware of the fact that my ex and I didn't get along, didn't communicate well. Now our children are paying for that. If it was about the money she should have said so. You get what you pay for and she didn't charge me much for the divorce. Our divorce papers didn't protect me from being sued by the bank for his vehicle because it stated both of us were to refinance the vehicle. It was primarily in my name. I tried to contact her about this and she stood me up for the appointment and didn't call me back. He should have been paying child support but she didn't listen. I finally got child support after being on public assistance. My situation is better know financially but only after 2 1/2 years. Now I'm going to court to try to get the ridiculous parenting plan modified. I think I probably talked to her secretary more than I did her. At least her secretary would talk to me. I hope Karla will be cautious in the future and treat each client like she would want to be treated. Again, maybe I didn't listen but she could have made more of an effort to inform me of my rights and the consequences of my decisions. I have done more research on divorce and child custody (too little, too late) after the fact. I filed a no-fault divorce when I could proved my ex-husband was emotionally and verbally abusive and mishandling our money. I didn't know the difference at that time. Even though I worked part-time or full-time throughout my marriage, I was still the primary care-giver of our children. That wasn't even really discussed. I should have filed for full-custody or our children. Again, no one can make good decisions while going through a divorce.
