I hired Karen to help me with a real estate matter, and unfortunately, my experience was extremely disappointing. I paid a significant amount of money expecting professional guidance and assistance, but I did not feel that I received the help I was promised. There were multiple issues regarding documents and information that were provided to me, and I felt that I was not given clear or accurate answers about my case. In the end, I feel that I spent a lot of money and received very little in return. I’m sharing my experience because I believe anyone considering hiring an attorney should carefully research them and make sure they fully understand what services they will actually receive before paying.
