Customer Reviews for Law Offices of Karen Halverson
-
Hired Law firm 2024Karen Halverson defended me in a parole matter. She was willing to meet in person, but the rest of the experience was disappointing and overpriced. She charges $425/hour and billed that rate for basic administrative tasks—like $85 just to reply to a billing email. She also billed an hour for an initial consultation I never agreed would be paid. In the end, she cost twice as much as two other attorneys who did similar work. I didn’t receive her written brief until the day of the hearing and never saw the exhibits beforehand, which caused her to miss a key defense argument I could have provided. After the hearing, she disappeared. It took more than a year—and a complaint to the bar—to get the leftover retainer back. She may be skilled, but the lack of preparation and overbilling weren’t worth it. If she has support staff now, maybe. If she’s still solo, I’d avoid her.

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.
