Client Reviews

Karen is absolutely the best. I had a very difficult case and she was sympathetic, knowledgeable and ultimately got me the resolution I was looking for. I have hired a lot of lawyers and can not say enough about her. I wish I had hired her years ago.

Karen is simply the best. Divorce and family legal matters can be so stressful and truly terrifying and emotional to endure. If Karen is handling your legal matters, rest assured & follow her lead. You are in the best hands.

Attorney Karen is fantastic! I highly recommend her work. She helped me all the way thru this time of Covid and brought me and my family an amazing settlement. I am so grateful, she is my Angel….like a God!

If there was an option for no stars, I would've chosen that. Karen is inappropriately overzealous to the point where it seems that she is trying to work vicariously through her personal issues while exploiting other people's painful situations. She fails to consult her clients prior to taking significant actions that result in the detriment to the families for whom she is trying to obtain favorable outcomes. I would highly recommend for anyone considering her representation to think TWICE.

Attorney Gersten is simply a classy and well respected professional in the field of family law. She is a quick read on situations and works efficiently with a genuine concern for and management of clients' costs. She is well connected with other experts and makes sound recommendations to resolve family matters. She is not your stereotypical lawyer. I wish I could give more that five stars.

Attorney Karen was amazing. A true professional. I had reached out to her when I was at my whits end on a family case. Essentially, I had hired the wrong attorney at first and needed Karens help and I needed it fast. She jumped right in, was extremely professional and delivered on everything she promised. I wish I had hired her from the start and months before. If you are reading this review because you need a great attorney, do not make the mistake that I did in hiring someone else.
