“Karen Brown is by far the best family law attorney I have ever worked with!! I was working with a couple of attorneys from San Diego that completely ruined my current family custody case. My previous attorneys took advantage of my situation and didn’t do anything in my best interest and against my wishes. Karen Brown sat down with me and helped me regain control of my case, my handle on life, and my world, which is my son. She spent countless hours rebuilding the case to make it the strongest possible. Not only was my case extremely well put together but she did an excellent job in the courtroom; this resulted in the judge granting me everything I requested and a few additional last-minute additions. As a result of her strong litigation skills and abilities to build the strongest case possible, I was granted more time with my son which will allow me to give him the attention he deserves from his father and allow me to mentor him into being an upstanding citizen and human being.
I also requested that my son have my last name, and due to Karen Brown’s extensive knowledge of the legal system and tough litigation skills, I was allowed to change his last name to mine which will allow him to carry on my family name and legacy. I would recommend Karen Brown’s legal services to anyone seeking a strong family law attorney and have done so on many occasions. If you are looking for or are in need of a strong attorney make sure you stop by and visit her first. She will go out of her way to help you and your loved ones as well as ensure you have the strongest case possible before stepping into the courtroom or into out-of-court negotiations. She is invested in her clients and their best interest.”
Karen has been a godsend in a very difficult time of my life. She has knowledge and expertise that have been paramount in guiding me through my divorce proceedings. In addition to her legal prowess, her good nature and friendly demeanor are greatly appreciated. She would be highly recommended for anyone needing advice or assistance with a Family Law related issue. While I hope never to go through anything like this again, if I do, I know who to call.
For several years I have been fighting a horrific custody case. This case consisted of many appearances and detailed expert work. Her research and time spent on my case were amazing; she really cares. Karen was an expert in my case. She appeared on each case held my hand and got my case resolved. Bless her heart. Karen is experienced and knows what she’s doing. If anyone I know needs a good family law attorney, I will send them to Karen.
Ms. Brown is attentive, knowledgeable, and very professional. She is also compassionate and dedicated to her clients. Her availability and responsiveness are very reassuring, especially to clients like myself who are overwhelmed with personal circumstances that have exploded into situations requiring legal action. I recommend Ms. Brown with enthusiasm and respect and without reservation.
If you are frightened and need guidance through the storm… If you have been a victim of emotional abuse and intimidation by your partner… If you are experiencing divorce trauma and your children are being used as a weapon… If you face any child-related concerns…
Ms. Brown prides herself on providing hands-on, attentive representation. She will work with you to strategize what is best for your situation. She values prompt client communications so that one is informed and participating in his or her case on an active basis. She will vigorously protect her client’s assets and custody rights. She is passionate about advocating on behalf of her clients and extends that care to work towards the best possible results. Her dedication has culminated in a solid record of successful resolutions – either by mediation, negotiation, and litigation.
I was a client of Karen Brown for over 5 years during which time I went through a divorce and contentious, complex custody battle. With Karen as your counsel, you are always informed about what is happening with your case – not left to wonder or told about details much later as is sadly the case with many firms. I remained with her as a client for that extended time because of the excellent quality of her representation and communication with me. She was prompt in all contacts and an effective, strong, and dedicated litigator. I worked with her as a “partner” so that we strategized my lawsuit step by step together as a team. Her writing style in pleadings and letters accurately reflected what I wanted to communicate – one of many of her unique abilities. I fully recommend her services to persons who want a conscientious, detailed, and smart family lawyer. She is very personable and strives to give you special attention. Even though my case has concluded, I feel comfortable and welcome to reach out to her with any questions I may have. That is very different from many other attorneys.
Karen Brown is a force of nature. She has more experience in her pinky finger than most family law attorneys could dream of. She will be real with you and tell you the good things and the bad things about your case. She does not mince words. She will tell you like it is. You might not want to hear some of the things she has to say, but she is a realist and does not get involved in the emotional side of things, which is the best kind of attorney to have. My former attorney sympathized with me and told me what was going to happen, but nothing he predicted happened. That’s not true, my huge bills happened! I found Karen halfway through my divorce, and she straightened everything out.
I am finally at the end of my divorce and am totally content. She has fought for me the entire time all while keeping the billing affordable. I have seen her in court many times, and she is really prepared and always knows more than the other side. Opposing counsel was embarrassed many times because he was not filing things on time and leaving things out. No one knows family law like Karen.
Take the stress out of an already stressful situation and let Karen handle it all. She knows what she is doing and will get it DONE to your satisfaction.
Come game day, Karen was prepared and solid in the courtroom, and everything turned out alright. Although I was unsuccessful at stopping the relocation, I received a great custody schedule – fair with time made up during summer for that which I’d lose as a result of the move away – my support schedule was lowered to a more reasonable schedule, and most importantly my ex-wife learned that she couldn’t just arbitrarily and unilaterally make decisions regarding the children without a strong response from Karen’s office, which ultimately has kept her in check.
Again I say I wouldn’t wish divorce and its subsequent legalities on anybody, but if it is unavoidable, you need a strong professional in your corner, someone who understands family law comprehensively and someone who will be there for you during tough times and not dump you off on an inexperienced associate. I cannot recommend Karen Brown highly enough.
For one of the most important decisions you may ever make – hire Karen Brown: you will not be disappointed.
As a client of KB, I can attest to her professional and thorough advice given to me on a number of business-related matters. She has over 30 years of experience as a civil litigator, in various capacities in the entertainment industry and as a family law attorney. That wealth of knowledge was applied to my circumstances with integrity and real caring for my situation. I strongly recommend her to all in need. She is affordable and works with you in a cooperative and sensitive manner.
Karen has a hands-on approach and goes the distance to ensure her clients are informed, participate, and get the results to which they are entitled. At a minimum, their information is carefully and accurately represented to the court. She takes the time to make sure the client understands what is at stake and realistically what can be resolved.
I wish divorce on nobody. It is about one of the ugliest things one can experience; but, of course, it is also one of life’s unfortunate realities. Because of its inflammatory nature, who you have in your corner fighting for you is crucial. I had an unusual case in that I was already divorced (foolishly I was unrepresented in the initial proceedings) but my ex-wife was planning on relocating with my children to a different city (without my consent). Because I had no representation the first time around, I got completely squeezed financially with a support schedule I couldn’t handle, and I needed it reduced legally.
I interviewed three other divorce attorneys before a friend recommended Los Angeles family law specialist Karen Brown. Every attorney I spoke with told me that I had a case, but Karen got the ball rolling immediately. She demonstrated her expertise in the area of family law, and I could tell that she was tough, and that’s what I wanted, as I was dealing with some irresponsibly ruthless people and needed somebody strong by my side. Karen was definitely that. She was tough on me too, which was good because she prepared me for the tough questions I would surely face in court (and which I did).
Karen was thorough and always open to communication. Although it wasn’t cheap (I only bring this up so you don’t fool yourself in believing there will be an inexpensive way out, as some family law attorneys will lead you to believe. It just isn’t so), she was mindful of my financial situation and allowed me to take care of anything I could that would keep costs down. When it became apparent that the other side was not willing to negotiate on any issue, Karen was an excellent strategist, making moves that ultimately secured our argument – I could not have asked for more.

Karen Brown was very helpful and supportive during the process of my divorce. She truly kept me focused and organized during the most difficult times and throughout the healing process. Karen’s expertise and long-term experience truly benefit the best interest of the client.
I wouldn’t wish going through a divorce on my worst enemy.
It’s just a marathon of disappointment and ill-feeling, and you never have enough time to just stop and process what’s happening to you – you just have to hold on tight and stay on the crazy train until it stops.
Luckily for me, I managed to find Karen S. Brown during my early “crazy days.” She has been my tireless advocate and has managed to keep me clear and focused on the necessary priorities and tasks that I need to get through this thing.
From our first phone conversation, she inspired immediate confidence that she was interested in working “for me” on “my case” not just in scoring another client, which was the general impression I got from many of the other lawyers I’d already talked to. None of the other lawyers I’d met presented me with the legal facts of my specific case as clearly and thoroughly as Karen did or offered any of the options and solutions “upfront” that she and her team presented during a consultation. I’m sure some of the other lawyers would have been happy to discuss these details “after” I’d paid their retainer, but Karen was willing to tell me what she’d be able to do for me if I hired her BEFORE I hired her.
Throughout initial preparation she and her team were incredibly responsive and meticulous – every call and email was handled promptly, and every process was demystified. We were really well prepared for our hearing, and as we entered into negotiations with opposing counsel I was very impressed with her ability to troubleshoot on the fly and keep me informed of the best possible options as the landscape kept changing. Karen worked hard to get me the best possible deal on Temporary Support and is still working on every angle as we wind down on final negotiations.
Karen actually listens and tries to understand what it is that you are trying to accomplish. She’s incredibly knowledgeable, professional, and particularly tenacious in the courtroom. She was also willing to work with me on a schedule for paying my retainer and fees which were far more reasonable than just about any other lawyer I met with, and I now trust her with a confidence usually reserved for close friends and family members.
Karen is impeccable.
If you need a Divorce Lawyer who will be invested in understanding what it is “you” need and will put her considerable skills behind helping you reach those objectives – do not hesitate to call Karen Brown.
Karen was completely and thoroughly prepared each time we went to court and this is her key to winning. She demonstrated the utmost poise and precise counterargument when dealing with opposing counsel, despite the unprofessional behaviors of the opposing counsel and his client. Karen worked diligently to address all my concerns, no matter how trivial, and was able to help me understand and prioritize all issues. I am very appreciative of how she helped me get through an extremely difficult time. This is the lawyer you want to work for you. She took my case to heart and didn’t just put me through the “machine.” I call her Carin’ Karin. Thank you, Karen!
I hired Karen to help me with a last-minute serious custody issue for my 3 yr. old son. She was super efficient, professional, and very knowledgeable. She helped me to realize that there were certain aspects of my current order that needed to stop immediately and it helped me greatly. Karen is very kind, and supportive and really cares about her clients and the welfare of the children involved. I recommend her highly to anyone needing a family law attorney. I am very pleased with her services and will continue to keep her by my side for any future needs. Her passion for her work really shows she will not let you down, and she will make sure that the law brings justice.
