This Lawyer Karen Johnson is a snake, if I would be allowed to give 0 stars I would…read more I came for a consultation paid $200 and after speaking with her I was highly impressed with her intelligence and the way she planned to attack the custody case, so I agreed to hire her. I put down $3000 and agreed to pay the following $3500 the next day so that she could start my case. SHE STATED AND EVEN IN HER CONTRACT IT STATED I WILL NOT WORK ON YOUR CASE UNTIL THE FULL RETAINER IS PAID. Later that night, my ex called me and decided that she would continue to allow me to see my kids and that we could keep things out of the courts. So the FOLLOWING MORNING I called Karen's office and asked for a refund since they had not yet worked on my case and she tried to tell me "NO! You owe me another $3500" so yes I may have told her to, "f off and that I'm not paying you and you owe me my money. I will just dispute it with my credit card company". She lied to the credit card company and said it was an emergency basis and she worked on my case overnight EVENTHOUGH her contract stated she wouldn't . Long story short, She won the dispute with my credit card company and now I am letting that credit card go because they sided with this horrible attorney. Terrible business practices, she is smart and cunning and conniving. BUT DO NOT PAY HER ANYTHING UNLESS YOU ARE 100% READY TO USE HER. She will gladly screw you out of your money with a smile on. I am currently self filing a lawsuit against her for the return of at least $1800.00 that she owes me per her written email that states she worked on my case overnight for 3 hours and that I could bring her a $1200 cashiers check and she would refund the balance.

I see a few people saying negative things about Karen and everyone is entitled to their opinions…read more Contracts are made for a reason and if you don't read the fine print that's on you, obviously you're inquiring her because you need help with a legal issue and you do get what you pay for. In my opinion she's the BEST attorney in the area, someone made a remark that she's a snake and cunning person maybe that's what it takes to win a specific case, hypothetically if that person hired her and had her case won she wouldn't be giving Karen a 1 star would she? She would be giving her 5 stars , just saying. Some of you reading these comments may be wondering why I'm sticking up for her, well I tell you, I went to 4 attorneys in Stuart and and wasted 10's of thousands over 9 years and not one attorney could get me divorced, it should have been easy my children were all grown and I gave my ex the house and everything in it and none of the 4 lawyers could get me divorced. My ex abused the the system with all types of bullsh** tactics, over 9 years . So Karen was recommended to me by a friend still living in Stuart, ( I'm in St Louis) I called her and yes she was straight to the point, told me she could get it done no problem, she told me what it would cost so I hired her, needless to say she got it done as she said she would, I hired her in February 2022 and was divorced August 5 2022. I couldn't be more pleased, the way I look at is, when she took my case she came to play chess not checkers, so if you need a an attorney that's super smart and isn't intimidated by anything she's a perfect fit.

Both were VERY helpful about the Florida court process and knowledgeable in all aspects of defense. Coming from Texas we were not familiar with the Florida Judicial system. My husband and I were very discouraged and upset by the false charges against him. Christian and Tim's knowledge of the Criminal Florida court system and investigative skills truly pulled us through a very difficult situation. They were extremely helpful and efficient in resolving questions that we had. I was surprised by their accessibility. Anytime we had a question, and trust me we had many, they responded quickly. I truly had begun to doubt the judicial system, but they stepped up explained the process and plainly described our options and outcomes. Our stress levels were exponentially reduced by their representation. They never embellished the truth or gave us "false promises". We clearly knew what we were up against and that honesty and forth right knowledge helped us take the right path during our case. I am proud to say that Van Riper and Nies helped us receive the appropriate/ justifiable "Not Guilty" ruling.

Mr Gufford, is a bad lawyer. He comes across as caring and compassionate ONLY until you give him…read moremoney, and then he is unresponsive and doesn't do what is in the best interests of the client. In my case he did nothing - but kept the money. Literally nothing - other than file a 'notice of appearance'. I fired him after a month into the case and he kept 100% of the retainer money which was $8100. My story: My wife's sister is 74 years old suffers from dementia and was in a divorce from her husband of 27 years. She gets 700 a month in social security, was abused by her husband and about to be homeless on the street, from a very badly structured settlement she agreed to though coercion. I hired Gufford to get her bad settlement agreement re-negotiated. He did literally nothing. I contacted the opposing party myself and by threatening litigation they agreed to modify the settlement agreement. I then asked Gufford to finalize the NEW settlement agreement. Again nothing. He never responded to me, and more days went by. As anyone knows who has ever negotiated anything, when parties agree to a settlement, you need to move quickly to "seal the deal". Again, Gufford could care less about it. He had his money. When I did finally reach him in a phone call... he barely remembered what the facts of the case were, and I had to explain to him what I wanted him to do, which was contact the Petitioner's representatives and finalize the agreement. Guess what happened next - NOTHING. He never picked up the phone or contacted them. Another week goes by and the opposition changed their mind and started adding more things to the deal. By this time after all this lost momentum, I was completely frustrated and realized I had made a gigantic mistake hiring Gufford. He is not only a bad lawyer, but he also doesn't care one iota about his client. So, I fired him. He still has all my retainer money and after numerous requests has not make one effort to return any of it. I plan on filing a complaint with the State bar and will next hire a Attorney to go after him that specializes in unethical lawyer cases.
