Overview
Kara F. Krause is committed to safeguarding the civil rights of employees across Michigan, including freedom from unlawful discrimination and harassment.
Kara graduated with honors from the University of Illinois College of Law, where she received a full-tuition scholarship. During law school, she zealously represented clients while participating in the Veterans Legal Clinic and gained invaluable experience while serving as an Edward Coles Fellow for the Illinois Human Rights Commission, a quasi-judicial agency that adjudicates civil rights complaints. She also worked as a Summer Law Clerk for the City of Chicago Department of Law's Employment Litigation Division.
Kara was born and raised in Ann Arbor, Michigan. She earned her bachelor's degree from the University of Michigan. After graduating, she went on to work for another law firm specializing in civil rights and employment law, which sparked her interest in law.
Kara began practicing law at an insurance defense law firm in Detroit, Michigan immediately after her admittance to the bar, where her work included defending civil rights cases filed against Starbucks Corporation and Marriott International.
Kara enjoys reading, cooking, spending time with her family, and taking advantage of what the city has to offer, when she is not zealously advocating for her clients.
Kara is admitted to the State Bar of Michigan and the United States District Court for the Western District
of Michigan.

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.
