Click to report rating    11/26/16   5     5     5     5     5   I retained Karen McGuire as my attorney to represent me in a divorce action following the breakdown of mediation between myself and my former spouse. Personally, there was much on the line as I was housing and caring for my three teen and young adult children, one of whom was beginning his first year of college. I had obtained my nursing license during the course of my marriage and was unsure of how the valuation of same would affect my financial outcome. My instinct was to protect myself so that I, in turn, could protect my family. Once I spoke with and ultimately retained Karen McGuire, I was able to let go of much of my anxiety. When she or one of her highly capable and professional staff members told me not to worry, I didn't worry. I truly felt that each of these people had mine and my family's best interest in mind with every step of the legal process. At such a turbulent time, it was gratifying to feel that I had someone to battle for me, and I could focus on my family. RID: 177310
     1/28/14   5     3     4     4     2   Karen McGuire was hired by my wife regarding the custody of my grandson. though she represents well in a courtroom,an ethical attorney should never sell services uneeded. the case was in our favor from the get go,and Karen new quite well we did not need her at this time.I am in the catering industry and would never sell someone something they didn't need based on emotions.so in summation,karen McGuire is a good attorney knowledge wise,but extremely unethical for taking unnecessary money from unsuspecting clients.this unethical behavior is wrong!! I choose to forgive you,but I will never recommend you.i meet people from all works of life on a daily basis.thank you. RID: 131251

 1/10/14   1     1     1     1     1   This Attorney takes your money, does nothing, charges bogus fees, then sends you on your way! However in her defense that's how all Attorneys are today! None of them have ethics they are never accountable for mistakes or erroneous fees, they lie, and there should be something done about this. We live in a society of false hope, and can not trust anyone we hire. She is a fraud stay away from her. Her secretary is the one getting paid from your money by listing bogus phone calls to her and that's where your retainer goes. Then just dig in cause you will have to pay more for nothing. This office needs to be brought up on charges for fraud billing! RID: 130068

Click to report rating    1/13/13   5     4     5     5     4   Karen is very professional in her line of work. I was with her from the beginning of my divorce until the very end. She helped me with compassion and determination. I would definitely recommend her to anyone in a tough divorce like I was. RID: 98334
Click to report rating    10/15/09   5     5     5     5     5   I am in total disagreement with the preceding reviews I have nothing but glowing praise for the efforts this lawyer made on my behalf. Her passion is only matched by her knowledge. She lessened the pain of my situation by mapping out for me in great detail exactly how the procedure would go. I felt confidence in her handing of my some times very trying case. Karen seems to have a knack for presenting the reality of the situation and negotiating through, at times, deep anger. The staff in this office is caring and approachable. They make every effort to answer effectively and professionally each concern. I hope never to have to go through such an ordeal again...but if I do I want Karen and this law firm at my side!! I can’t thank them enough. RID: 23198
Click to report rating    11/18/08   1     1     1     1     1   This attorney is one you MUST avoid. After I contracted her to execute my divorce all appontments for me to meet with her were cancelled. The only way to disseminate information was by letter or a phone call to one of her staff members . Her bills for services consisted at fees more then 3X the customary cost and frequently billed for redundant services. One one occassion I was billed $1,500.00 for a telephone contact not lasting more then 30 minutes. When questioned at the outrageous expenses she threatened to discontinue her representation within days of a court appearance. Her tone was rude and her words abusive. After paying her an obscene amount of money for contrived services she actually put a lien on my divorce judgement and refused to file it with the county clerk. At this time 5 months have passed since the stipulation was signed and the paper work finalizing my divorce remains in limbo! RID: 13779
Click to report rating    12/2/06   1     1     1     1     1   Office is extremely unprofessional. The staff constantly hangs up on you! They are rude and uncompacionate. Many people who have used this law firm have delt with these same issues and were unhappy with their results. The lawyer has a tendency not to be on your side. Lost money nothing was ever filed in the courts. RID: 2340
