A Clear Path Through Your Case

01

Strategic Consultation – $200

This is not a sales pitch. By the time you meet with Karla, you already know you need counsel. In this meeting, you walk through the facts of your case, review the different approaches available, and choose a path forward—along with clear flat fee pricing for that approach—before you leave the room.

02

Advocacy Begins

After you choose a strategy, Karla drafts the necessary documents and sends them to you for review and approval. Once you’re comfortable with the language, she files and serves the papers on the other side so the legal process toward resolution can begin.

03

Steady Guidance to the Finish

Karla guides you through the complex family law process—court calendars, informal discussions between counsel, and mediations—while steadily preparing for trial if needed. Throughout, she gathers and organizes the information your case requires, such as financial records, school records, and other key documents, so you are ready for negotiated settlement or trial.

“I hired Karla after an initial consultation as I knew I was about to get separated from my wife and it was going to be complicated. While I was scared about the process, I followed Karla’s lead and she had me and my daughter’s best interests at heart. She took the emotion out of the way she explained things and what actions were to be taken and why. Divorce and custody arrangements are not fun, but I would not have ended up where I am now with my daughter and my new life without her.”
