I was extremely pleased with Karen's handling of my divorce. There were many reasons I chose her to assist me during this challenging time. She impressed me with her combination of professional skills, personal qualities, and ethical standards. I appreciated her background as a lifelong Washington resident. She grew up in Richland and graduated from Hanford High School. Having lived in Richland for over 30 years, and with my own children graduating from Hanford High, I found a strong connection with her. Additionally, she was raised by parents who instilled in her a deep sense of community and public service. During our first meeting, Karen was not only personable but also sensitive to my situation. I felt completely comfortable and at ease with her. Her professional skills were outstanding; she handled my case with integrity and understanding. I truly enjoyed working with her and was very satisfied with the service she provided. Her professionalism and dedication exceeded my expectations. I have recommended her to several people who are looking for legal assistance in family law or civil litigation.

If one has to start over in one's 50s having a key trusted partner is invaluable. Ms. Koehmstedt's office struck the right note in both providing strong advocacy but also honoring my decisions. Without the diligent work of Karen and her staff and her wisdom in engaging a top mediator, I would not be in the solid financial position I am today. I recommend Ms. Koehmstedt's office without any reservation for anyone seeking a life-saving divorce.

After interviewing three other attorneys Karen was my choice. She asked good questions pertaining only to my case, she took good notes (in a note book not a laptop) and I didn't feel as though I was another number in the days quota. I found Karen to be firm but fair in dealing with all that were involved and very helpful in guiding me to make the right decisions for my case to have the outcome that I was happy with. The staff is professional and very friendly and good communication between all parties seems to be a priority. They make the office run flawlessly.

Karen and her staff are professional, compassionate, and proficient. I was very pleased with how my cases were handled. I felt very comfortable asking questions and being understood. Karen really took the time to listen and provide me with the best legal assistance I could have ever asked for. Because of her dedication and commitment to my cases, the outcomes of both were very positive.

“I am so grateful to have had Karen represent me and my children in my divorce battle. I really wanted a simple divorce, but it was impossible with a husband like the one I had (an abuser and narcissist). It was a very long four years of stress and grieve from this divorce, but she made sure to have the voice of my children and mine heard. I was in an abusive marriage (more so emotionally/mentally abusive) and it was very draining, my kids suffered and were traumatized more from it. In the beginning of our divorce, my husband played the victim and was able to manipulate the court to favor his side with no actual evidence and just all hear say from him. Karen was the only attorney here in Tri-Cities, who could take on this case and get the facts straight. I had two very un-knowledgeable attorneys before who did nothing, but take money from me. Karen actually did her homework did some digging and took the extra time to investigate and provide proof and took on my husband's manipulative, lying attorney and pulled them both out of the water and wrung them out. I am so proud of Karen for the hard work she accomplishes for her clients. My life would have been very different today, if I wouldn't have invested in her. I am so happy she took on my case because she was hesitant at first to take on my case because of how nasty my husband and his snake of attorney had made it look. I can now say I am a fighter of domestic violence and justice was served right, thanks to her.”

Excellent attorney for litigation. Karen helped me get full custody of my kids after my ex wife falsely accused my of DV chargers that were one step below murder. Her legal assistant Nicole is awesome. There is communication is excellent. If there were ten stars I would check all of them.

Karen and her staff were very helpful during a very emotional and difficult divorce. Karen really listened to everything I had to say and did thorough work. She genuinely card for my kids and me, which showed. Karen gave me great legal advice and helped me reach a reasonable divorce settlement. I don't know what I would have done with different counsel. I had other consults and watching other attorneys in court made me realize how lucky I was to have the representation that I did.

I came to Karen broken and hopeless. She really listened to me and encouraged me to stand up for myself and fight. Her work was thorough and professional. During another consult I was told I was not going to get custody of my kids and he was very pessimistic. Karen was the opposite. She knew it would be difficult but in the end I gained full custody of my children and a fair divorce settlement avoiding trial.

For the past twenty five years, my husband John and I have used Karen Koehmstedt as our personal legal representative.. She has handled several actions including Wills, Guardianship and initiating a Special Needs Trust which required a lot of research because it was a new action for all concerned. She and her staff have always quickly responded to our questions and needs. I would highly recommend her for any legal action.

Karen Koehmstedt is the best! My brother Antonio needed some legal help. From day one we were treated with courtesy and confidentiality. The person at her front desk was very nice, she let us in the office when we arrived a little early. All appointments were on time. Karen Koehmstedt is surely a professional, we are happy to have her in the TriCities.

You will not find a better family law attorney. She is precise and determined to fight for you. Judges actually listen to her factual assessment of YOUR situation. She has defended the rights of my children in an exemplary manner which saved them from serious abuse while other court persons pondered the situation without genuine concern. Worth every penny hands down. I will always keep her in my thoughts and prayers for he diligent actions for my my family.
