Customer Reviews for Law Offices of Karen J. La Madrid
-
Hired Law firm 20241 From the moment my mother stepped foot into Karen’s office, she felt safe and comfortable discussing her needs and her progress with creating the trust. Karen didn’t pressure her to sign anything until I had given my consent and had a chance to speak with her. After our conversation, I was impressed with how well she recapped everything and reassured me that things would be handled exactly as we needed. Karen’s staff was also incredibly responsive, answering all my questions in a timely manner and providing clear timelines for when we would receive the necessary paperwork. When I went to the office to sign the documents, I was pleasantly surprised to meet Karen’s son, who is also a legal professional working alongside her. The assistant who handled my emails is also a notary, and he and his mother offer a mobile notary service in Riverside. It was reassuring to see that this family-run team, from lawyer to notary, made us feel understood and comfortable during such an important process. For anyone looking for probate or trust services, I highly recommend Karen and her team. I spoke to over six lawyers in the LA and Riverside areas—some recommended by my company, others by my mom’s church—but none of them made us feel as supported as Karen and her team did. I’m surprised more people don’t know about her, as she and her team are truly amazing. Karen is so humble and modest about promoting herself, which may explain why there aren’t more reviews, but she absolutely deserves recognition for her exceptional service.

How do I choose a lawyer?
Consider the following:
- Comfort Level – Are you comfortable telling the lawyer personal information? Does the lawyer seem interested in solving your problem?
- Credentials – How long has the lawyer been in practice? Has the lawyer worked on other cases similar to yours?
- Cost – How are the lawyer's fees structured — hourly or flat fee? Can the lawyer estimate the cost of your case?
- City – Is the lawyer's office conveniently located?
Not sure what questions to ask a lawyer?
Here are a few to get you started:
- How long have you been in practice?
- How many cases like mine have you handled?
- How often do you settle cases out of court?
- What are your fees and costs?
- What are the next steps?
Want to check lawyer discipline?
It is always a good idea to research your lawyer prior to hiring. Every state has a disciplinary organization that monitors attorneys, their licenses, and consumer complaints. By researching lawyer discipline you can:
- Ensure the attorney is currently licensed to practice in your state
- Gain an understanding of his or her historical disciplinary record, if any.
- Determine the seriousness of complaints/issues which could range from late bar fees to more serious issues requiring disciplinary action.
