Karen was recommended to me. My time of getting divorced was end ‘21 to mid ‘22 so all meetings were done on Zoom or by email or phone call. Things seemed rushed at the last minute all the time. Little pushing on her part to get my ex moving with information or answers. The decisions to be made were pretty straightforward as most of our finances were consolidated in our retirement. In the end I did not realize how important it would be to have an outside person oversee the division of finances regardless of how simple it seems. A red flag was one financial advisor was dividing the money for both of us. I got no advice on this from her. There was so much haggling on the financial disclosure for small stuff to the penny. No creativity for ways to really equalize life insurance, differences in monthly retirement income, etc. she said the differences were too small to bring before the court. When you are retired and don’t have a lot of money even $500 a month is a lot. The divorce was finalized and the division of finances was a mess. My ex ended up with more than me. On calling Karen back about this I only received words she supported me and no real help as she said she would do. I was on my own and never did get an actual record of the division of finances. I put hours into this on my own after I discovered the problem. Divorce is basically a financial transaction and her work really fell short.

Shocked by these glowing reviews. Not my experience at all. I was told she was a great advocate for women. I did not find this to be the case. I felt totally alone throughout the entire process. I found her to be lacking in any empathy. Many times throughout the process she did not fight for me and tried to talk me into agreeing to something that clearly was not in my best interests. Thank goodness I was able to fight for myself against her. I truly regret not finding another attorney. I would not recommend her to any woman.

I will forever be grateful to Karen. She did an amazing job on my very long complex divorce and truly looked out not only for me but for my kids as well. Karen is extremely knowledgeable of the law. She is amazing and I highly recommend.

Karen is an excellent family attorney! She and her office were extremely helpful and professional. I had a very complicated custody battle and Karen made me feel hopeful and she handled everything with my best interest in mind! Karen had the same amount of passion as I did for my case and she took all the worry away. She worked very hard and was always more than willing to talk and collaborate. I would recommend Karen and her office to anyone!!

I worked with Karen for over 5 years, on a very contentious divorce/custody battle. If you’re looking for a touchy-feely, sweet attorney? She is NOT your girl. Lol But she is TOUGH & knows the law exceptionally well. She works well with other attorneys (my ex was fired by NINE attorneys), asks judges for what she believes is fair, & gets it! Not only did I receive primary placement & sole custody (decision making) of our son, but she asked for a portion of her expenses & the GAL’a be paid by my ex. It was approved. I was also granted permission to move out of state. Highly recommended!
