Karen solves people problems.
When you work, you work with people. When you own a business, you hire people. When people work together, problems exist. Karen solves those problems.
Karen is a different kind of lawyer. She’s happy. She’s holistic. She’s honest. What does this mean for you? You will get Karen’s candid assessment of your problem and her honest advice about what your options are. She won’t tell you what you want to hear. Instead, she’ll tell you how she sees it and she will walk you through your best options.
Sometimes, your choices will be good. Sometimes, none of your choices will be good. Sometimes, you won’t have any options. And, in some cases, you will have a combination of all of these scenarios. Karen will walk you through the pros and cons of your various choices.
Karen’s approach is more holistic than most. Karen looks not just at the narrow legal issues, but at the whole picture of how this legal matter fits in the big picture of your life and your business. Karen will help you think about what path is best for the big picture.
Karen is experienced. Karen is Board Certified in Labor and Employment law by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization and has been practicing law since 1989. She’d prefer that you not do the math to figure out exactly how long she’s been practicing, but she’s gained a lot of experience in all of those years.
Karen defines success for her clients in more than just dollars and cents. Sometimes, claims are very, very small. Some claims are extremely large. However, in Karen’s opinion, the best result is when her client is satisfied with the outcome and understands it. That is Karen’s goal in every case.
Not all lawyers love what they do. Karen’s lucky in that she does. Karen enjoys shepherding her clients through difficult situations and actually solving the problems, not just fighting for the sake of fighting.
