I thought that honest lawyers exist only in Hollywood movies where they are beautiful from outside and inside and are fighting against all bad for all good saving the whole world.I thought the real lawyers always look at you through their money glasses. But now I know that professional and honest lawyers do exist because I met Karma Zaike. She won’t start working with you if you are not honest and not reasonable yourself. Her service is not cheap but we live in one of the most expensive cities in one of the most expensive countries. And you get what you pay for. After very hard two years long divorce that I did not initiate, I can say that she deserves each dollar charged and worked hard for it. She won ALL my numerous court hearing. After living in the basement of my friend’s house alone, I now live in my house with my daughter again and I have my life back. Karma is always prepared for the hearings, she always has plan A, B and C, and she discusses it with you.She explains all these difficult terms and makes you understand all options and steps.Her calculations are always right. Her professional knowledge is outstanding. I was witnessing how judges and commissioners asked her during the hearing about some law related things as an authority in family law. Besides decent education, knowledge and preparation for each hearing, she works very efficiently during the hearing. I was very impressed watching how fast she observes incoming information, makes some notes, formulas, calculations, compile something and responds fast and efficient. During this long divorce many times I had to sit in the courtrooms and wait for my turn and I had to listen to other cases and to see other attorneys. And I always concluded for myself: I have the best one! I will always recommend Karma, especially for difficult cases.
