Karen Marcell, Esq
SENIOR PARTNER
I am a no nonsense attorney and empower my clients by informing them about the good, the bad and the ugly regarding their legal concerns and provide them with legal recommendations, options and sometimes out of the box solutions. I graduated law school in 1994 and after all these years, I think, eat, breathe and sleep legal! By letting my clients know about their case and informing them, they now have the tools necessary to make decisions for the betterment of their community, their claim or their case. I may be the conductor of the orchestra, but my clients own the orchestra and they are the ones who make the decisions with full legal guidance on how to proceed.
