Communication with Kara was clear and precise, as to the law, prosecutor, judge, etc., and she set my expectations appropriately. She advocated aggressively on my behalf and followed through with each issue until it was concluded. Kara’s knowledge of the law, as well as the intricacies of the legal system (both locally and generally) allowed for her to advise me with accuracy and gave me confidence in her counsel. Without reservation, I highly recommend Kara for expert legal representation.
