Constantine Law Office

Karen did an Amazing job helping us with a child custody case on short notice. She was prepared for court and professional. She gave good legal advice and Helped my boyfriend win half custody! I could not go in the court room, but I really appreciated that Karen took the time after the court hearing to explain what happened and gave my boyfriend advice on what he needed to work on to increase his chances of winning full custody. She's down to earth and real, she tells you how it is, and what you need to do to win!

About 12 years ago I was about to lose my daughter who was going to be moving to Arkansas with her mother. I was scared that I wouldn't see her for a very long time. I approached Karen and hired her for my case. I was so overjoyed that she was able to help me. We only had to go to court a few times but in the end my daughter was able to move in with me. She has since graduated from high school and is currently attending college while also raising my 2 year old grandson. I have never been treated with anything but respect from Karen. About 1 year later Karen offered to be a witness for my signing of a land contract on the house I currently own. On September 7 2020 I lost my father. I went to Karen to open his estate which is a long grueling process. She has taken care of everything. I have sent numerous clients her way due to the way she treated my cases. She is definitely a little rough around the edges but her results are exactly what I had hoped for. Thank you Karen for everything.

Karen Constantine became unavailable to reach as soon as she had my money in her coffers. She did not prepare for the first hearing well, and made factually incorrect statements in her opening argument, then threatened to withdraw when I pointed out her error. She failed to timely file a court motion, despite several reminders to do so. This error destroyed a year’s worth of hearings, costing over $13,000 in legal fees. The best work I can think of to describe her and her is slovenly. Learn from my mistake, do NOT retain this woman.

I contacted her for a fairly emergent case several years ago. It was regarding custody visitation for my daughter with my former husband being from out of state. She agreed to take the case even though she would have to work quickly. Being a single mom for 7 of 8 years with a problematic ex, I kept pristine notes over the years. I provided her with detailed books of dated notes. I paid a huge retainer...I think it was 4k. I had to dog her office to get things filed in time. The Night Before our court date, she called me around 9pm. She said that unless I paid her another $1500.00 by 11pm that evening, that she was not going to SHOW UP FOR COURT THE NEXT DAY. I was very young and desperate (there was a threat of serious danger to my daughter). Thank God I called my employer who agreed to give me an advance on my wages!! The next day in court she was unprepared and I had to keep writing her notes of what to say on paper during the hearing. At the last minute I asked the judge if I could speak and filled in the blanks the lawyer missed. Luckily, he was forced to take a drug test, failed, and my daughter was safe. I left that day a bit traumatized. If what she did to me wasn't illegal, it was seriously evil! Don't even cross her doorway.

Rude as all get out. Tries to belittle people. I wouldn't use this pos if it was the last lawyer on earth. She needs to be disbarred.
