Click to report rating    10/8/18   2     2     2     1     1   Not professional nor ethical. She has caused more drama in our case and basically squeezed as much money out of you even though it’s unnecessary. RID: 204298
Click to report rating    6/16/16   5     5     5     5     5   I have used Karen twice. Once for a child custody case and now for my divorce. I LOVE this woman. She does ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING she can for the client. The other reviews largest chief complaint is that she doesn't answer her phone calls. Do you have any idea how fast her voice mail fills up or how often she is in court and CANT answer the phone? She is doing her job people! The best way to contact her is via email because she ALWAYS has access to that, even while at the courthouse (not while she's in court). As long as you don't have unrealistic expectations and realize you aren't her ONLY client, and don't wait until the last minute to write her, she will get back to you just fine. She is truly an amazing woman AND lawyer. She is professional and knows her stuff! Have referred friends to her and they love her as well!!! RID: 170629
Click to report rating    10/8/13   5     5     5     5     5   We all need strong , hardworking and honest women like this gal. A real go-getter. I like her very, very much. And she helped us tremendously each and every time any of us have needed her expertise. Thanks, Karen!! RID: 124836

Click to report rating    7/25/11   4     5     5     5     5   Karen Divita was very professional with my case. Karen is awesome at questioning, and she completely exposed my ex-wife's lies and my ex-wife's manipulations designed to drain me financially. I got the best possible results because of Karen. I would highly recommend Karen Divita to anyone in a simple or difficult divorce case. RID: 49083
Click to report rating    3/4/11   5     1     1     1     1   Impossible to communicate with, does not answer her phone calls, slow to text or return a call and email is even difficult to get her to do. She often waits until the very last minute to do things and often can not find important papers and has to have client send duplicates. Not an aggressive lawyer. Very nice but just not what I hoped for. RID: 42013
Click to report rating    1/3/11   5     5     5     5     5   Ms. DiVita is an excellent lawyer. Highly educated and compassionate. Especially in dealing with sensitive cases, she supports her clients 100% and works diligently, building relationships, and utilizing her strong communication skills and knowledge of complicated Kansas law. I highly recommend using this lawyer, and am very pleased with my experience. I'm sorry to read the other reviews on this site, because I strongly disagree with them. It seems that sometimes peoples bitter feelings, especially in cases of divorce and child custody, might impact review sites like this- but if people look at the hard facts, Ms. DiVita is highly qualified. RID: 39105
Click to report rating    12/22/10   3     1     1     1     1   Does not return calls. Unorganized sloppy, unethical, always late, and not a good advocate for the client. I feel she has hidden charges and pads her time that she charges for. Rarely if ever prepared for court. Loses paperwork she is supposed to have. Will not admit her mistakes. Asked for itemization of charges will not provide this to me. Has never given me a complete itemized bill yet asked for more money. Never gave me a receipt for payment. She is not beyond selling out the client to short cut her work. RID: 38741
Click to report rating    10/30/10   5     5     5     5     5   She is a great at what she does, goes beyond expectations, and a good choice. RID: 36701
Click to report rating    7/19/10   2     1     1     1     1   She was horrible with returning phone calls. The billing was sporadic. She never showed up on time for my hearings. When my case was over she tried to charge me 4000.00 to prepare a document that another lawyer charged 300.00 to prepare. RID: 32465
Click to report rating    8/12/09   2     1     2     1     1   terrible at communicating and returning phone calls totally unprepared RID: 20978
Click to report rating    7/10/09   5     3     5     5     5   Ms. Divita is a highly intelligent attorney. Her work quality is excellent and she accurately predicts, based on her legal and psychological experience, opposing counsel's maneuvers. She has a lot of experience with complicated divorces involving custody issues and is a good attorney to use when domestic violence is an issue. Ms. Divita represents both men and women equally well and succeeds in assisting her clients because she cares about them and about the welfare of their children. RID: 19991
Click to report rating    2/12/09   1     1     5     1     1   How she earned her law degree, let alone pass her bar exam is beyond me. However, I have her "tenacity" level 5. Reason? She simply has convinced HERSELF that she is an excellent lawyer and will go to any links to prove her point. Point is, she does not have one. I wish Ethics were a criteria for rating. I think that I will send her the bible of law definition, Black Laws, with the ethics definition highlighted for her convenience. RID: 15757
Click to report rating    8/21/07   1     1     1     1     1   This lawyer never provided a billing statement and changed her hourly rate at least three times. She sympathized with my ex and got me the maximum penality. She was difficult to get ahold of and horrible at returning calls. She's been divorced two times and after using her for mine it appears she has a vendetta against men. DO NOT USE THIS LAWYER and good luck finding a lawyer you can trust. RID: 5465
