Client Testimonials

She has a 100% five star rating for a reason… She’s the best!

Karen took my case a few years ago and she was better then I could of imagined. She’s exactly what you want in an attorney. She informed me of my options and was realistic about them. Showed me the pros and cons and let me make a decision. Once my decision was made she acted immediately. Setting up a restraining order, contacting my daughter school to inform them of the situation. The defendant constantly ducked being served papers. Karen had a police office go by her apartment multiple times within a day to make sure it was property served and it was. Karen always responded to phone calls and emails promptly if not right away which is priceless to me. She won my case and set things up so that the defendant could get clean and work to get custody of her daughter if she chose to do so.

I can’t say enough good things about Karen. The only negative thing I can say is I was billed for every minute we talked. Which is understandable and way better then the alternative. I’ve had attorneys that give a little free time but were always hard to reach (no thank you). No ones time is free and having an attorney that you can reach pretty much anytime is priceless and I understand having to charge for that. My daughter wouldn’t be the amazing person she is without your help. My daughters mom has a drug and alcohol problem and is Native American decent. I was scared of going to tribal court and losing my daughter even though her mom wasn’t fit to have her. Karen knew exactly what to do the whole time and we didn’t have to go though tribal court. Your the best Karen! Thank you!

If you need an attorney, Karen is the best you could possibly have.

Karen is a phenomenal attorney. When I went to Karen I was confused and scared, not knowing what to do or how the custody process worked. As a father, I was worried if I was not going to have a fair chance at custody of my son. She was so informative and explained everything to me throughout the whole process. She fought so hard and found information that I did not was possible. She is filled with so much passion and that is what makes her the best. Her care for my child reflected in everything she did. When trial was over. I got everything I was hoping for and more. Because of Karen my son is safe. There are not enough words to express how grateful I am and forever will be to Karen. If you need an attorney, contact Karen. I promise she will take care of you and fight for you.

Karen is the most honest and ethical attorney I have ever met. I had worked with three other attorney’s in north Seattle that were expensive , highly sought after, and Karen’s representation and guidance out did the original attorney’s I had. I let go my other attorneys during a long two year extensive divorce litigation and Karen finished it within months of working my case. Karen is realistic, while also having heart and passion in fighting for your case. When something needs to be done, she is on top of it. She is everything I wanted in an attorney and I would highly recommend her to anyone.

When I met Karen I instantly knew she was the person that I needed and had been looking for for my case. Right away I knew how dedicated she is, caring and kind. She is so knowledgeable and straight to the point. Very detail oriented and precise. She was very helpful anytime I needed her, but more than that she gave me the confidence I needed in myself as well. She was always quick to get back to me in an amazing timely manner. Always prepared, strategic, and one step a head of the game, she is definitely a power house and someone you want on your side. I am so thankful for all that she has done to help me. Thank you so much Karen, words can’t express enough how thankful I am for you.

Karen is dedicated, professional and an absolute POWER HOUSE in the court room. She was my attorney for 5 years and worked my two separate family court cases at the same time. My cases were both very difficult & convoluted; yet her diligence & expertise brought me out on top of both my cases. If you’ve got family court issues you’ll never regret hiring Karen.

For months on months I have been in a dark fog trying to figure out how to go about filing for custody for my son! I’ve been through legal consultation after legal consultation. Each with opposing information that left me confused and, at times, discouraged. One prayer and I was introduced to the best lawyer I have ever been in contact with. Karen took care of everything for me. Her words to me were “I got it from here.” Those words were followed with action and determination. Next thing I know, I’m notified that I have custody of my son! The best thing I’ve ever heard in my life! I kid you not, I dropped down on my knees in joy! If you ever need a lawyer, PLEASE look for Karen Schweigert! Thank you so much, Karen!

I was so stressed and afraid when I found out I had been thrust into a struggle for my own children. Within literally a few minutes after talking to Karen, I began to feel a sense of relief. Karen is a people person and her ability to create rapport with clients is truly amazing. Karen is the real deal, she really, truly cares about me and about my kids. It’s not an act with Karen, she really wants to help. On top of that, Karen is so amazingly accessible that I still can’t believe it myself. I have called her on weekends, holidays, and in the middle of the night. Yet, Karen has NEVER failed to return my calls. No detail is too small, and Karen has answered my silly questions on so many occasions that I’ve lost track. Even the most ridiculous question she never fails to answer, and she even makes a point of never letting me feel embarrassed. This is a lawyer that really, truly cares about me and my family, and is willing to fight for us. If you hire Karen, I suspect you will receive the exact personal service that I have experienced. I cannot recommend her more wholeheartedly!

Karen helped me in more ways then I can begin to describe. She is very helpful, caring and doesnt fill your head with false hope. She told me exactly what she thought the judge would agree too, and surprised me by representing me when I had trial for my divorce/custody. She knows what shes doing and is very professional, and willing to help where she is needed. I highly recommend her for any family law.

I highly recommend Karen Schweigert. She was excellent with her attention detail in my case. She talked me through everything and was very clear and patient with me. You can tell she cares deeply about her clients and is extremely passionate and knowledgeable about family law. Karen always got back to me in a timely manner and was extremely professional. Words cannot describe how grateful I am to her.

If you’re not acting in the better interest of your case.. she will let you know, if you follow her counsel/guidance I promise you that you will be pleased with the ending results.

You can choose a good lawyer or a great lawyer. Karen is the great laywer!

In a recent parenting plan and custody dispute, Karen represented the case fantastically as it was appealed to Superior Court. Karen communicated with me throughout the process and met at times to meet my schedule. She explained the court processes and made the entire situation less stressful. I highly recommend her!

I tried to go through my divorce case on my own for almost two years while my wife had a lawyer the entire time. I went to Karen very last minute and even though there wasn’t a very large window of time to get everything done she went out of her way to do everything that I needed done. She was always willing to take any calls from me and had answers for any questions that I had. Having her as a lawyer really put me at ease especially going through the trial. We met a little early to go through what I could expect that way I wouldn’t be completely blind sided by to much. Even after the case was finished she was very open about asking any other legal questions that I had. She is an amazing lawyer and I highly recommend her. She will go out of her way to get the best results possible and will keep any client up to speed with whats going on every step of the way.

She provided me with excellent advice with my child support situation and other challenges with my child custody situation. Karen’s knowledge of the legal system helped me gauge where I should proceed legally with my situation to reach a resolution and save the most money for child support. Karen is personable and she cares. She represents fathers well in these custody situations.

The best Family Law help in Spokane. Karen helped me get my son back after a rough year. My sons mother passed and things got crazy. When I had low hopes Karen helped me within the next few days of getting ahold of her. She gets right on her work and doesn’t leave any room for error. If your looking for honest and reliable assistance, I definitely recommend Karen. Give her law office a call and sit down and talk to her. She’s very straight forward and understanding in her busy life. I honestly would not be in the possion I’m in with my son if it had not been for her kindness and drive. She helped my son and I and changed our life for the greatest!! Call, get a consultation, and be amazed with her professionalism. Thank you again Karen!

Karen saved my life. She was honest and straight-forward. She told me when I was messing up and told me everything to expect every step of the way. She answered all of my questions anytime I had questions. She was super easy to get ahold of. She always returned my calls and she answered my emails at all hours of the day and night. She got me through the whole process. Even though my ex said I would get nothing if I left, she helped me get everything I was entitled to. She helped me get a good parenting plan and fair child support. This was the worst experience of my life and Karen got me through it. Thank you Karen. You are the best. My kids and I will always be grateful to you.

I may have ended up living in a cardboard box without our daughter if I had not had Karen in my corner!! I really believe that!!! She is so smart, and really knows her way through the divorce and family law! She kept me on track and up to date with communication at all hours of the day or night. She knew my main concern was for our daughter and she helped me get ‘exactly’ what I had told my ex that I wanted, it was all for the sake of our daughter! I highly recommend Karen if you want an honest, smart attorney on your side!! Her ‘hidden talent’ is being ‘tough’ to the opposing side without them even being aware of it….until it’s too late for them to retract what was said!!! As with my ex being on the stand, she had him walk right into basically admitting the opposite of what he had said in written statements.
Karen is the Best!! I am so very Blessed to have her represent me!! If you want what’s best for you and your family, Karen is your ONLY choice!!

I am a retired Detective Sergeant from the Washington State Patrol. During my time with the patrol we had an individual file a public disclosure requesting personal information on all state patrol troopers to include our home addresses. Law enforcement officers are very protective of their families and since we deal with SOME unsavory people am sure you would agree that this was very disturbing. So we hired Karen to help us out and she did an OUTSTANDING job of shutting the person and his request down. All state troopers and their families were excited about her strong dedication to our cause and we can’t thank her enough for being advocate for us.
Thank you Karen you are the best.

Karen’s experience, expertise and professionalism was exactly what I needed in a tough custody and child support battle, (brought years post divorce). It was messy, emotional and time consuming, and Karen handled it with so much grace and passion. She kept in constant communication with me and was very quick to respond to any questions and concerns I had about my case.

Karen was not afraid to stand up to my ex-husbands attorney, and fought tooth and nail for my children and I.

Karen is professional, intelligent and compassionate; which is exactly what is needed as a client when you’re going through the family law system.

It is without a doubt that without Karen on my case, my ex would have gotten away with numerous falsified documents, falsified income reports and would likely have obtained sole custody of our children. She was calm and reasonable throughout the entire rollercoaster process, and had mine, and my children’s best interest in mind at all times.

I would highly recommend Karen for the numerous reasons listed above!

Karen was wonderful, she was always there to answer all of my questions and did everything in her power to help my family with our relocation due to military orders. I would highly recommend her to anyone seeking a family law lawyer, and I will continue using her if I need help in the future.
